growing up in the South, @gardenandgun was as big as it got so cool to see MB42 on G&G’s “Great Big Summer Reading List” many thanks to @johntedge , be on the lookout for his new memoir HOUSE OF SMOKE🔥(which is also on this list) gardenandgun.com/list/the-great…

elicranor's tweet card. G&G editors and contributors shared so many stellar new novels, memoirs, and cookbooks that we lost count. But here are thirty-something selections at the top of our lazy-summer book stacks.
