我非常喜欢克里斯汀·阿内特的《如果你听过这个笑话就阻止我》。这本书非常有趣，讲述了一个在佛罗里达的拉拉队小丑的故事。我觉得这本书非常适合夏天阅读，可以让人沉浸其中，一整天都想待在那个世界里。

Shownotes Transcript

A warm summer day sitting beneath the shade of a tree or a beach umbrella with a tall cold drink at the ready and a juicy book waiting to be read — what could be better? We’ll talk to booksellers from Booksmith and Green Apple Books as well as Oakland-based novelist Jasmine Guillory about what they are reading this summer, and we’ll hear from you: When you’re not doom scrolling, what’s on your must read list for this summer?

We’ll talk about new releases, old favorites and classics that have earned their place on your bookshelf.
