Summer Reading on Cape Cod
 
Whatever your Cape summer experiences are, we hope you leave some time for relaxing with a good read. In between time in the sun, on the water, exploring galleries & shops, playing sports, riding around, and eating great seafood, you’ve got to escape into a book. It’s basic element of summer here on the Cape. Can’t you imagine yourself in a cozy chair or hammock with a cool drink turning page after page languishing in the idea you have nothing better to do. The Cape’s many independent bookstores are brimming with unique summer reading. Find out how fortunate we are to have these wellstocked and well-staffed shops. If you don’t know what you want to read, no problem. They’ve already scoured new books and reviews and have lots of recommendations for you. Now, get yourself settled on a blanket, hammock, lounge chair,or whereever. Here are a few recommendations:
