Summer Books

Call it interactivity, call it citizen journalism, call it plain laziness. The Observer Review wants summer reading recommendations. You know the sort of thing - good for the beach, books that take you back to holiday romance, kissing French exchanges, exchanging French kisses, books that capture the essence of a sunny season, books that tickle your nose like pollen.

You spill the beans about the book, we publish your intimate stories in the newspaper - that's the deal. 100 words or less to Summer Books, Observer Review, 3-7 Herbal Hill, London EC1R 5EJ. Or email review@observer.co.uk. We strongly recommend you put 'summer books' in the subject field if you don't want to get caught up with all the spam. Recommended reading in the comments field below also welcome ...

Warning - this has nothing to do with the list of top summer tunes although we reserve the right to listen to the tunes while reading the books.
