I hope your summer has been filled with lots of rest and relaxation and many, many books. We've added a lot of new titles recently, but I always love your recommendations, so please send them my way. In the meantime, here are some titles, you might want to check out when you need a break from the hectic start of the school year.

Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
