The best cure for a heat wave when you can't go a beach? A peach of a beach read like Summer Rental by Mary Kay Andrews. I'm lapping it up like a triple ice cream cone. It's a sea foam frothy tale of five woman at a crossroads in life who share a beach house rental for the month of August. Sign me up!

Best cover from this week's mag stack? The double Rolling Stone but somehow reading about the music industry saddens me since hearing about Amy Winehouse's death. The 27 club it's goulishly called:  musicians like Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Jopli, Kurt Cobain and others, all dead at age 27. Oh to be 27 again with all the hope and promise. I confess, I don't feel much like reading. I see a lot more skimming in my near future and more living.
