What's on your summer reading list? Three lovers of literature took part in a conversation about what to read at the beach, the lake or wherever you spend your summer vacation.
Host Keith Shortall was joined by:
Paul Doiron, editor-in-chief of DownEast Magazine and best selling author of the novels featuring Maine Game Warden Mike Bowditch.
Susan Conley, author of the new novel "Paris Was the Place." She cofounded and served as executive director of The Telling Room. She's the author of the memoir, "The Foremost Good Fortune"
and Josh Christie, freelance writer, author, and bookseller based in Yarmouth, Maine. He runs the website, Brews and Books. He's also the co-host of the Bookrageous podcast, a twice-monthly audio podcast "about books and why they're awesome." His first book, Maine Beer: Brewing in Vacationland, came out in May.
