It has been an amazing, hot summer filled with lazy days, friends, fun and family. As school approaches in the fall, reading fanatics and bookstores everywhere are gearing up for the brand new haul of books. In celebration of the fall spirit, I condensed a list of hot, soon to be bestsellers to be on the lookout for.
1) Tell Me by Joan Bauer
