Since 2016, I have shared my Summer Reading list with Nurses Advocate readers, social media followers, and family and friends. The 2024 Summer Reading List is robust and will provide interesting reads for Summer Reading and Beyond. I thank all who have contributed to this year’s list!

Some New Additions:

This year, I asked people to add Podcasts and TV Series from various streaming services. I did this because these two mediums are gaining popularity. I have also had people ask me if I accept audiobook suggestions. YES, audio books are popular for those who have commutes and like to run or walk as part of their wellness routine.

No matter how or what genres you read, I hope you find this list helpful when looking for new authors, good books, podcasts, or TV series to watch.

I start this year’s list with suggestions from five friends from my Water Exercise Class at Central Park in Plantation, FL. I am happy to return to our community’s Water Exercise Class after being away for a year. Water is the best way for me to exercise. Let’s see what the ladies recommended:

Helene Albee. She shared a book she loved and two of her all-time favorite streaming series.

• One Thousand White Women -The Journals of Mary Dodd by Jim Fergus
• Mcleods Daughters: watch the series on PRIME Video

 The 3^rd contributor from the Water Exercise Class is Noel Brown.

• Noel wrote; Anne, here are some of the books on my list. First, I wanted to share the pleasure of meeting two authors this year. First was Sophie Hannah, who is now honored by the Agatha Christie Estate to continue her writings. Here is a link to her writings. All of them are great! https://www.bookseriesinorder.com/sophie-hannah
• The second author is Brad Meltzer, who wrote The Couple At the Through Literary Guild of Broward for their annual Literary Feast. Now, I am going on to his continued story, the Lighting Rod. For a read by the pool, I recommend Maddie Day, author of Murder on Cape Cod, and another, The UnWedding, by Allie Condie. Enjoy!

Next is Jane Keys. Jane suggested

• Capital Gaines: Smart Things I Learned Doing Stupid Stuff by Chip Gaines is a nonfiction autobiography about the history of Magnolia.
• Erasure by Percival Everette is a satire/fiction book that was the basis for the movie American Fiction. It is very different.
• The Last Castle: The Epic Story of Love, Loss, and American Royalty in the Nation’s Largest Home by Denise Kieran is a well-written and researched nonfiction biography about the Vanderbilts and America’s Greatest Mansion in North Carolina. The book spans world wars and the Depression.

Facebook Friend Pam Walter shares the following books. She is an avid reader and posts reviews of the books she reads on Goodreads. I love that she shares her point of view for others to read. Here is the link to one of her reviews at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2127588028

• Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
• The Splendid and the Vile: By Eric Larson. A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz
• The Bastard Brigade by Sam Kean is the true Story of the Renegade Scientists and Spies Who Sabotaged the Nazi Atomic Bomb.

Another longtime Facebook friend is Patricia Grady. She shared:

An excellent documentary by Sheryl Sandberg is Screams Before Silence on YouTube. Sheryl wrote an excellent book in 2013, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead. The documentary is about sexual violence and how women were treated on Oct 7th. It may be hard to watch and listen to for some, but it tastefully demonstrates the antisemitism all around us.

A LinkedIn Colleague, Grace, recommended;

• Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. This novel is about a strong, smart woman in the 50s who fought against discrimination against women and refused to be cowed by the societal norms of the time. This is very relevant in these days when women’s rights are at risk yet again. It’s nice to see an author have a central female character that does not require primary male support. It also appeared to me that the main protagonist might be on the Autism spectrum, which adds extra interest, in my opinion.

Next, I have several friends from Quota, a volunteer organization I have been with for several years.

First up is Jane Crawford. For several years, she has also contributed to my summer reading list. I am grateful for her contribution!

• Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll
• The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
• Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
• Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton
• Did You Hear About Kitty Karr? by Crystal Paul
• The Women by Kristen Hannah
• Tom Lake by Ann Patchett
• A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler
• Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles
• Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
• The Boys from Biloxi by John Grisham
• The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
• The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom
• The Maidens-Alex Michaelides
• The Only Woman in the Room-Marie Benedict
• The Swans of Fifth Avenue-Melanie Benjamin

Laura Warner is a close friend and person who introduced me to Quota many years ago. She is also an avid reader. Here are her contributions.

• Disha Bose – Dirty Laundry
• Laura Dave – The Last Thing He Told Me
• Danielle Steel – Country
• Lisa Scottoline – Don’t Go
• Colleen Hoover – Verity, It Ends With Us, Smash, and Reminders of Him

Emily McCrater is another Quota Sister who shared: I always love your Summer Reading List. Here is a book I really liked.

• I read The Women by Kristin Hannah and loved it. I couldn’t put it down. It was a great story about the Vietnam War.

Ellen Honig, a case management colleague from Sarasota, FL, shared this review of The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon.

• The Frozen River is a fabulous book about a midwife in the late 1700s. The story is set in Maine in 1789. When the Kennebec River freezes, entombing a man in the ice, Martha Ballard is summoned to examine the body and determine the cause of death. As a midwife and healer, she is privy to much of what goes on behind closed doors in Hallowell. Her diary records every birth, death, crime, and debacle unfolding in the close-knit community. Months earlier, Martha documented the details of an alleged rape committed by two of the town’s most respected gentlemen—one of whom has now been found dead in the ice. But when a local physician undermines her conclusion, declaring the death to be an accident, Martha is forced to investigate the shocking murder on her own. Martha doggedly pursues the truth as the trial nears, whispers mount, and prejudices mount throughout one winter. Her diary soon lands at the center of the scandal, implicating those she loves and compelling Martha to decide where her loyalties lie.
• Clever, layered, and subversive, Ariel Lawhon’s newest offering introduces an unsung heroine who refused to accept anything less than justice at a time when women were considered best seen and not heard. The Frozen River is a thrilling, tense, and tender story about a remarkable woman who left an unparalleled legacy yet remains nearly forgotten.

I asked my neighbor Candy Cawley, an avid reader, to share the books she liked best for the 2024 Summer Reading list. She shared her best books for the year, and a podcast she likes to listen to that keeps her up to date on various topics important to her.

Pager U has a huge library of videos of current political topics, history, and interviews.https://www.prageru.com

Susan Galpin is a longtime colleague and Facebook friend. Here are her book recommendations:

• Homecoming by Kate Morton
• Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz
• Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks
• The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer

A trusted follower of my blog and case management colleague Dana Deravin Carr shared this nugget of information:

• Many of us might be familiar with JK Rowling because of her Harry Potter books. Though not a fan of this genre, I recently learned that she writes detective stories under the pseudonym of Robert Galbraith. This series features Cormoran Strike, a military-hardened detective who is a fascinating and intelligent character. Written in the vernacular of current times, many of these books are set in London and the surrounding areas. If you like crime fiction with murder and mystery, you will like Cormoran Strike. I am up to book seven of nine series in the series. A great read!

Susan Allison Dean, a new connection from LinkedIn, wrote;

• I am writing to respond to your request for summer reads. I can’t wait to see your compiled list! I would not be a good author if I didn’t throw my three novels into the ring! They all feature nurse protagonists and, much to my delight, have received overall good ratings/reviews. You can find my novels on my author website: http://www.susanallisondean.com.

I am sure you will hear much about Kristin Hannah’s latest novel, The Women. It is an outstanding book—one of the best books I have ever read.

I also recommend the book Blue Mind by Wallace J. Nichols in the nonfiction category. This book helped me understand my love of the water, especially the ocean, and why being in, on, under, or near water is as essential to my holistic health as breathing. Dr. Nichols and I have become friends and collaborators to educate and invite people to connect with water.

Connie Sunderhaus is a longtime friend, colleague, and someone who has contributed to my Summer Reading List since its inception. She shared the following. I know you are working on your summer reading list, and I have an excellent book to recommend. You will probably get this from several others:

• Her recommendation was The Women by Kristin Hannah. It’s been long since I was so engrossed in a book. In case you haven’t read it – it is about a young nurse who joined the Army and went to Vietnam. After descriptions of her time there, the book goes on to describe the ‘afterward.’ Back in the US, where Viet Nam vets weren’t always getting a hero’s welcome, especially the women. Be prepared with a box of tissues!

The next contribution was from Scott Barnett, who owns an ALF in South Florida. He wrote Blood After His Divorce, which is satire but truth! Look at It’s Always My Fault = Divorce

The next group of recommendations come from my family: my best fan, Corky, my sister, Margie Serwo, and my sister-in-law, Trisha Douville.

On Corky’s beside table are these three books

• Dark Light by Randy Wayne White
• The Quartermaster by Robert O’Harrow Jr.
• The Achilles Trap by Steve Coll (he is reading this now)
• Also, he is an avid reader of the New Yorker Magazine; anything that gives him tips on raising orchids and his number one sport – Fresh Water Fishing

My sister Margie shared

• I recently enjoyed the audio version of My Name is Barbra by Barbra Streisand.

My sister-in-law, Trisha Douville, a frequent contributor to the Summer Reading list, sent me these recommendations before she took off on her Summer Bike Ride with Friends!

• Tom Lake by Ann Patchett Jan. 2024
• Spare Prince Harry by Jan. 2024
• A Grand Slam for God by Fr. Burke Masters Jan. 2024
• The Island by Victoria Hislop Jan. 2024
• Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano Feb. 2024
• The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese  2024
• None of This is True by Lisa Jewell April 2024
• Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver, May 2024
• Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult May 2024
• After Annie by Anna Quindlen, June 2024

Next are contributions from my longtime trusted friends from grade school! We have stayed friends all these years, and I am forever grateful to them for their friendship, advice, and just being them!

First up is Grace Carr. She said: “It is so hard to name a few books because I read a lot”! But here are some books that I liked this year.

• Michael Bennett and Michael Gannon series by James Patterson. Here is the link to the Michael Bennet Series: https://shorturl.at/791Qk. Here is the link to the Michael Gannon Series https://www.amazon.com/Michael-Gannon-3-book-series/dp/B084YSD6JJ
• The Veronica Speedwell series by Deanna Raybourn
• Mind Games by Norah Roberts
• But my favorite book of all time is The Winter Sea by Susana Kearsley

Kathy Pauza, Grace’s Twin Sister, shared

• I love Anne Patchett. My favorite book of hers is Patron Saint of Liars. She’s so good!!! The Dutch House was good, too. It was set in Elkins Park, PA, near where we used to live!

Mary Reidy was my ^first friend. We lived next door to each other since we were 4 years old. She moved when we were 7, and we kept in touch by writing letters! We went to nursing school together and are still close friends today! She shared this book for the 2024 Summer Reading list.

• Unsheltered Author: Barbara Kingsglov

Last, Liz Woster, an avid reader, shared the following books:

• The Women by Kristen Hannah is an excellent testimony of women nurses during the Vietnam War. While we romped merrily through Archbishop Ryan High School halls, 1969-72, other women dealt with truly excellent trials in Vietnam and after.
• I also loved Doris Kearns Goodwin’s new book, An Unfinished Love Story, and I’m now reading her Pulitzer Prize-winning book, No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, The Home Front in World War II.
• Next is to finish Tom Lake by Anna Patchett, a great author.
• Lastly my book club suggested Frozen River by Ariel Lawson. They all love it. I haven’t started it yet.
• I just finished The Code Girls by Liza Mundy, about the thousands of women who cracked enemy communications (cryptography) during World War II and the Japanese war, saving many lives and helping to end the wars early. They were pulled from the Seven Sisters schools, were very intelligent, and had to sign a secrecy oath to support and defend the Constitution, the backbone of our society. PBS had featured these women in a documentary. Book competes for the Army and the Navy, vying for the same government funds—lots of good details.
• I just picked up West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge. It’s a cross-country road trip about the first two giraffes that came to the States in the 1930s. It’s a coming-of-age story about two characters and their experiences along the journey to get the giraffes from the East Coast to a zoo in San Diego. I am told there is a lot of symbolism in this book.
• I just finished The Paris Daughter by Kristin Harmel. I loved this book—a historical novel about the Nazi takeover in France and the impact it had on two dear friends. One friend has to flee Paris and leaves her precious daughter with the other friend, who then leaves Paris for America with the little girl. The mother’s trials ensue in her efforts to find her daughter without knowing where she is after the war. A riveting read!

Finally, these are recommendations by Michelle Knab, a longtime case manager friend whom I have known since 2005. She did not have time to write descriptions for each book but gave each one a star rating so readers could find their Summer Read! Her closing words were: “Trust me, these are great recommendations!”
