Remember summer reading?  Maybe it was the beat up copy of a classic you selected from a shelf in the summer rental that you weren't afraid to carry around from picnic to boat ride.  It looked like it had fallen overboard more than once already.  And what about that sappy sentimental romance or ice-cold thriller that reviewers dubbed the perfect page-turning beach read?  

In 2020 (yes, it's still 2020) summer reading, like so many other activities we've always taken for granted, just might need a new expanded definition.

After all, a traditional beach read is hard to wrap your head and hands around if you're not allowed to lounge on the sand.  

So in the spirit of new traditions, Storied-Stuff offers Book Week.  Here, six writers share the cherished books that informed them, thrilled them, taught them, shaped them--books that have stayed with them, literally, their entire lives. 

So curl up with Storied-Stuff and meet a few readers who, this week, are writing about reading. 

And if you have your own story about a cherished book that you still have, send it to us along with a photo.  There can never be too many Book Weeks.
