It is summer, which means it’s the perfect time to stock up on audiobooks for road trips and real books for reading at the beach. The Santa Barbara Public Library is ready to help you find the perfect book for summer.
Summer’s long days are made for short stories, and one of the best collections of the year is What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky by Lesley Nneka Arimah, with dazzling writing and hints of magical realism.
Readers looking for a thought-provoking sci-fi novel should check out Borne by Jeff VanderMeer. For a twisty mystery for fans of Liane Moriarty and Gillian Flynn, check out It’s Always the Husband by Michele Campbell, which is about three friends who both love and hate each other.
