Dear Reader:
While we know that you click through to our website to read the features and reviews

at: Bookreporter.com Newsletter.
Well, it's the last official weekend of the summer. In honor of this, Shannon McKenna
brings a sense of humor to our final summer reading tip.
According to old school fashion etiquette, Labor Day means an end to all things white. But
while it might be time to pack away your white shoes, there’s no stopping you from
reading what you want. We've gathered a group of books with “White”
in their titles that she suggests you add to your stack of fall reading. You
won’t be breaking any rules!
We are doing a short update this week taking advantage of one last weekend to get the sand
between our toes. As we close out summer don't forget to enter the THIRD WAVE of the Surf the Web for Summer Reading Contest with prizes
