Summer’s almost gone; it’s time to look toward fall and the quickening pace of literary events in Seattle. Before leaving the alleged lazy season behind, here’s a brief look at the books our region’s readers read this summer.

“A Great Reckoning” by Louise Penny
“Night School” by Lee Child
“The Girls” by Emma Cline
