Lots to choose from, I'm still going through it

I won't be able to see it--is there somewhere else this has been printed that you know of?

Let's see if this works, I'm supposed to be able to gift articles:

NYT Summer Reads

Every book is new to me and many interesting choices. I even found a couple to suggest to Feminerdy Book Club as future reads.

It won't let me see the list without a subscription. :(

I can post the list but not till I am back home with my computer on Tuesday evening, too hard on tablet.

Unfortunately it isn't a list. I thought my second time might work because it says I can gift articles, but apparently it didn't work.

On my second try I could open it to see the categories, but not the books. They might be listed elsewhere too.

It looks like I will have to copy each category. It is the end of the month and I haven't gifted anything so lets see if this works:

Mystery

I love the NY Times summer reading list! or any of their bookish lists. The horror category is my sweet spot and there are a couple I'm especially interested in; The Daughter of Dr Moreau and The Hacienda.

Here are the other categories, let me know if you would like to look at any:

True Crime, Romance, Cookbooks, Travel, Music, Gothic & Horror, Stage and Screen, Nature & Gardening, Sports.

88 books! Does the Times think we are in school and have the summer off to just indulge in reading? (nevermind ....totally doable in THIS group)
