It’s summertime! Pick up a book
Etcetera

By JUDY KRIEGER, Courier Editor

Now that our flood worries have somewhat subsided, maybe it’s time to relax and enjoy summer now that it’s officially here.

According to Yahoo! Search Data, there has been a boom in specific book searches over the past 30 days, showing what could be the season’s “hot reads.”

The popular options for bookworms range from memoirs and exposés, to popular fiction and self-improvement titles. Even cupcake decorating is hot right now! Who knew?

The top book related searches found recently on Yahoo include:

1. James Patterson’s “Sail.”

2. Scott McClellan’s “What Happened.”

3. Barbara Walters’s “Audition: A Memoir.”

4. Meg Wolitzer’s “The Ten-Year Nap.”

5. Karen Tack’s “Hello Cupcake."

6. Douglas R. Andrew’s “Millionaire by 30.”

7. Kathy Freston’s “Quantum Wellness.”

8. Terrance Dean’s “Hiding in Hip Hop.”

9. Sharon Mehdi’s “The Great Silent Grandmother Gathering."

10. Randy Pausch’s “The Last Lecture.”
