What's In Store...At R.J. Julia

Now that summer has finally arrived, stop by R.J. Julia for the perfect book to pack in your beach bag. (Oh, and don't forget your sunscreen!)

Do you remember the commercial catch phrase  "When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen"?  Well, that's exactly how I feel about RJ Julia owner Roxanne Coady when she discusses books.  Last week, I was fortunate enough to attend the fabulous event, "Cool Reads for Hot Days", where Roxanne recommended the best books to tote in your beach bag this summer.  So along with your beach pass, a cool drink and a cute pair of flip flops, here is a list of must reads (of course, available at R. J. Julia!):

1) The Dovekeepers-Alice Hoffman

2) The Lifeboat-Charlotte Rogan
