New Yorkers are tough cookies through and through; we thrive off of the hustle and bustle of our glorious city. The very things that make us love our city also tends to be the things that drive us mad during the summer season. The heat and humidity in the city, honking cabs, jammed subway cars (to the point where you feel like a sardine) and dare I say…the tourists! This is enough to drive anyone a little crazy.

Since as long as I can remember I have been a member of the Oprah Book Club. I love when the new book is announced and look forward to diving in! Since I can remember, my Mom has been involved in a book club and always has awesome suggestions for me to read. Summertime is the best time of year to sit back, relax, curl up on the beach and get transported away into another land while reading! Reese Witherspoon (Hello Sunshine) and Emma Roberts (Belletrist) have also started book clubs and they are fabulous!  Here are some of the books that I recently read and just couldn’t put down!
