Hey, it's Sharon. This week we're sharing a special episode from Nerdette from WB

EZ, a weekly podcast for nerding out about all the things you're watching, reading, listening

to and encountering in real life. In this episode, host Greta Johnson and her guests give delightful

recommendations for your summer reading. Get ready to add a lot of new titles to your

TBR list this summer. Three of the best readers around came on to talk about the books there

are extra excited about Liberty Hardy, senior contributing editor and podcast host at Book Riot,

Lupita Aquino, who is on Instagram and substack as Lupita reads. And Tracy Thomas, host of

The Stacks. We're branching out beyond the beach read in the best possible way.

There are some huge titles out this summer. I'm thinking about Quietly Hostile, which is the new SA

collection from Samantha Erby. There's also a new brand and tailor book called The Late Americans,

or of course Tom Lake, which is the latest from Ampatchet. But there is so much other stuff coming out

this summer too. And we are going to get into it. Here with me today are three of my favorite readers.

We have Lupita Aquino Lupita. Hello. Thank you so much for thinking of me to chat with you.

Thank you. I am so thrilled. Also here is Liberty Hardy, who works at Book Riot Liberty. Hello.

Hello. I'm very excited because I have never talked to all of you at one time. So it's very exciting.

I know, right? Because also here is Tracy Thomas, who hosts the Stacks podcast Tracy. Hello.

Hi. Thanks for having me back, even though you just called me a book bully. And I'm going to put that on my resume.

Cannot wait. Book bully is here. I did say that before we started recording. I was a little worried.

You'd be offended. But I assume if you're mentioning it now, that means you're delighted by it.

I would co-sign that though, Tracy. You have bullied me in the best way to read some of the best books.

And you can bully me anytime. So please continue the bullying. That's kind of you. But even if you didn't

consent to my bullying, it's coming. Book bullying. I will crime anti-bullying, but bullying. I love it.
