Whether you're reclining under striped umbrellas or holed up in a breezy café, these books will transport you far beyond the horizon. Take them with you, lt them keep you company.

This reading list moves along the fault lines of memory and identity, through haunted landscapes and liminal lives. From Berlin’s rain-soaked streets to Quebec’s frozen forests, from Istanbul’s layered languages to postwar Parisian salons, these books carry voices that linger—and resonate long after the final page.

This summer, cool down with a crime novel that turns up the heat. From ghosts and gunshots to justice at the margins, these aren’t your average mysteries—they’re reckonings. Whether you're beachside, trackside, or hiding from the sun, our summer crime picks are here to haunt, thrill, and scorch.

Each title in this list offers a new way to approach the cinema—not as spectacle, but as a lived and intimate process. These are texts that understand film as a porous form: part diary, part method, part disappearance act.

This summer, why not slip into the role of a literary detective and immerse yourself in lives remembered and lives reimagined—among literary ghosts, vanished women, and obsessive questions that refuse to be silenced?

What if this summer you could boost your French language skills while discovering timeless literary classics? Publisher CLE offers a collection designed to help you do just that. With (seriously) abridged versions of major works, this series will elevate your French while introducing you to the essential masterpieces of French literature.

Pride is many things: celebration, remembrance, rebellion, joy. It’s also a story—of becoming, of shedding masks, of daring to speak in one’s own voice. This month, we honor Francophone queer voices that challenge conventions, rewrite the rules of literature, and expand the possibilities of identity.

This year, give a book that lingers, questions, and resonates. Happy Father’s Day!
