Just as we are nearing the end of spring, with the summer month of June creeping in, the months seem to slow down allowing for some much needed relaxation. Whether going on that summer vacation or just lying out by the pool, this is one summer booklist that you don’t want to miss out on during your downtime. PMBC Group, Los Angeles books and authors PR firm, thought to put a spin on the ordinary summer reading list, creating one centered around our beloved LA.
Bright Shiny Morning: James Frey, known for his controversy, embraces this book about the under-the-radar LA scene with characters who aren’t afraid to take on the city.
Devil in a Blue Dress: If you’re a fan of mystery, Walter Mosley’s tale of a character named Easy Rawlins is hired to find a missing woman, only to stumble upon an unsuspecting secret.
Hollywood Babylon: Tabloids are all the banter in Los Angeles, and Kenneth Anger’s work ready just like a celebrity magazine in the early 1900s.
Play It as It Lays: Actresses are as common in LA as a new hotspot, and Joan Didion highlights a disturbed actresses’s fight for a new life free of the harsh reality and her introspective dreams.
The Love of the Last Tycoon: In honor of this summer’s hottest film ‘The Great Gatsby,’ it is only appropriate to include one of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s other Hollywood novels. This one follows a charismatic film producer and his attraction for women that leads him far outside studio boundaries.
