90. Literal Beach Reads
For this week’s mini, we’re taking “beach reads” literally, and have lined up a list of novels set at or near the seaside. Our selections aren’t necessarily light or fluffy, but they’re definitely page turners. So grab your favorite literary tote and some SPF, and take a listen!
