Summer Reads

It's time once again to find out what the Agave staff will be reading behind sunglasses in this, our third annual Summer Reads blog.

Ariana, Founder and Editor-in-Chief
Like many, I am so excited about The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy, her first novel in 20 years. She is an absolute favourite of mine, and I am hoping to look past the lukewarm reviews of her latest efforts and devour every page.

Men Without Women by Haruki Murakami: My favourite living author, hands down. So this newest book of short stories made the list, easily.

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman: A chance to lose one's imagination in fantasy and mystical tales of far away lands - sounds perfect.


Linda, Contributing Editor: Literature
The only thing on my list is American Gods by Neil Gaiman. With our new baby reading time is sparse but this is a must-read for me!

Lisa, Reader
I'm reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, In The Fall by Jeffrey Lent, The Alice Network by Kate Quinn, and Wonder by R.J. Palacio (with the kids).

Deb, Blog Manager
This summer I'll be savouring my most recent surprise from my Year of Books subscription from Heywood Hill: Freya by Anthony Quinn. Every book I've received so far has been fascinating, so I'm eager to see how this one measures up. I'm also catching up on old editions of the now-defunct Lucky Peach magazine and whispering Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo and The Princess and the Pony by Kate Beaton to my children at bedtime.

Grant, Business Manager
We were recent winners of an online contest for Book of the Month Club. Each month you get a book of your choice sent to your home, and there are 100 books or so from which to choose. I'm looking forward to the joy of finding new books waiting for me in my mailbox.

Emily, Editor-at-Large : Art & Photography
​
Earlier this summer, Emily came across Felicia Day’s memoir, You’re Never Weird On The Internet (almost), and has related to almost nothing in it, but still finds it funny. She just bought Nicotine, by Nell Zink, because of the cover illustration, and hopes to start it soon. She also may start reading her son’s The Secret Series, by Pseudonymous Bosch because, again, the cover art is compelling.

​
Happy reading!
