Fresh from the pages of The Daily Summer: We quizzed a slew of chicsters about summer reading musts. We asked, you answered!
Lela Rose: “I have 18 books sitting on my bedside table! I’m still reading H Is for Hawk, and I also just read Just Mercy. My stack is really just way too large.”
Jemima Kirke: “Unspeakable Things, by Laurie Penny.”
Vera Wang: “Primates of Park Avenue seems interesting…”
Jeremiah Brent: “I’m reading all about the origins of Hinduism. I’m obsessed with religion.”
Nate Berkus: “Thrive, by Arianna Huffington.”
Paige Novick: “The Unspeakable, by Meghan Daum; In the Unlikely Event, by Judy Blume; The Untethered Soul, by Michael A. Singer; and Primates of Park Avenue, because I need a good beach read.”
Misha Nonoo: “Mother’s Milk, by Edward St. Aubyn.”
Gillian Miniter: “Two books written by friends of mine—Married Sex, by Jesse Kornbluth, and Judy & Liza & Robert & Freddie & David & Sue & Me, by Stevie Phillips. Also, The Boys in the Boat, which is about the 1936 Olympics, and The Forgotten Waltz,
by Anne Enright. Oh, and The Marriage Plot, by Jeffrey Eugenides, which I never read!”
Marjorie Gubelmann: “I can’t wait to delve into The Knockoff, by Lucy Sykes and Jo Piazza.”
Bella Thorne: “Scripts. I read so many scripts each day, I don’t have time to read books! But my second book, Autumn’s Kiss, in my Autumn Falls series, comes out in November.”
Christian Siriano: “The girls in my office are always reading amazing, interesting books, but I’m very scattered. I can’t focus because I’m doing a million things. I never have a chance to read.”
Andrew Saffir: “Go Set a Watchman, Harper Lee’s long-awaited, found-in-the-attic prequel to To Kill a Mockingbird. The movie with Gregory Peck is one of my all-time faves!”
