Summer Reading Guide Creation Process
Creating the annual summer reading guide involves meticulous planning and early reading. The host starts selecting books around November each year, reading each one cover to cover and carefully curating a list of 42 books. The process has evolved with publishers providing e-galleys earlier, leading to more reading material available in advance. The host's Kindle is always busy with upcoming releases, guiding the selection for the summer reading guide.
