Autumn is fast approaching, and you know what that means: book club season is back! Warm apple cider in the library, cozy discussions about our favorite books... fall is the season for reading!

This season, one book has everyone talking - the latest from the queen of feel-good fiction, Kristy Woodson Harvey. You may know Harvey from her much-loved Peachtree Bluff series, or you may have come across her in one of her many pieces penned for Southern Living or Traditional Home. If not, you're missing out, and if so, then I should have no trouble convincing you to pick up this latest release!

The Summer Of Songbirds is an unequivocal nationwide hit, a masterclass in blending romance with nostalgia while still maintaining the tension required to keep a reader hooked to the last page.

The NYT Best Selling novel hit store shelves on July 14th and has since been recognized by Good Morning America, E! Online, and others as a standout hit in the Southern Fiction genre. In a banner year for women's fiction with major releases from the likes of Elin Hilderbrand and Mary Kay Andrews, Harvey's words stand tall among the best of them, a shining example of why she is so loved by her readers and fans.

While the nationwide release tour for the title ended with the book’s release, signed copies are still available on the author’s website.

This novel is Kristy Woodson Harvey’s tenth major release, garnering praise from newcomers and long-time fans for its pleasant, heartwarming tone and richly rendered setting. This last point is bolstered by the fact that the novel is set in Harvey’s home state of North Carolina, and was inspired directly by experiences the author had during childhood.

Specifically, the novel centers around one of the many summer camps that call the state home, following the exploits of three long-time friends who grew up attending the camp. When the owner of the camp announces that the property, which forms the foundation of the trio’s friendship, may be in grave peril due to financial and personal problems, they must reunite to save it.

The narrative weaves this plot together with a number of romances in a story that combines the perspectives of all three women into one interconnected narrative. This complex story structure is sure to make for some lively conversation in your book club or reading group - with so much to dig into, you may have to schedule an extra meeting or two!

One reviewer stated, “I loved every minute of this book. Harvey has done it again and who does like a story of lifelong friendships. This is one to add to your summer reading list. You won't be able to put it down. I gave this 5 stars and I highly recommend it.”

This is the quintessential title to warm your heart and hug your soul this autumn! Nothing is ever going to beat a good romance novel, a warm blanket, and a cup of tea!
