On the Shelf: Books that make you think of Spring

By Courtney Warren

I am so glad we are finally to warmer weather! It’s time to lounge outside in the sun and enjoy to beauty around us. For me, that means spending time in the backyard and at the pool with a good book. Here are two books I am excited about. 
Kutchinsky’s Egg by Serena Kutchinsky. According to the publisher, when Kutchinsky was a child, her life was turned upside down by her father’s obsession with crafting the world’s largest jeweled egg. Long after her family’s jewelry firm had been ruined and her family decimated by the scope of her father’s fixation, the author returns to the demons that drove him–and the mystery of the missing Argyle Library Egg. 

Carley Fortune is an author I have enjoyed reading for years. Her new book Our Perfect Summer, is set to be a great spring read. According to the publisher, Frankie and George have been best friends since childhood, but their relationship is strained as Frankie’s wedding approaches and she’s unsure if he’ll even show up. After her fiancé abruptly leaves her with only a note, Frankie is left heartbroken and confused. George convinces her to go on her honeymoon to Tofino with him as a way to heal. What begins as a chance to fix their friendship quickly becomes a journey filled with buried secrets and unexpected feelings.
