With the final weeks of summer upon us, WBUR's Radio Boston took listener calls on Monday to talk about summer reading suggestions. Host Tiziana Dearing was joined by local writer Jennifer De Leon, editor of Wise Latinas: Writers on Higher Education and author of Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From, and our very own Rachel Cass, Harvard Book Store's head book buyer. Rachel's picks included Maggie Shipstead's Great Circle ("pure literary magic"), Michelle Zauner's Crying in H Mart, and Clint Smith's How the Word Is Passed. Have a listen to the Radio Boston segment here, and get to brainstorming your end-of-summer reading lists.
