#READ: Not Our Summer by Casie Bazay

Not Our Summer Book Cover

It's bad enough that estranged cousins Becka and KJ see each other at their grandfather's funeral, but when he leaves them a bucket list of places to visit together over the summer, so they can earn their inheritance, it seems like things are about to get much worse.

However, with each trip the cousins complete--like riding mules into the Grand Canyon or encountering a bear and a hot tour guide at Yellowstone--they steadily learn about and begin to trust one another. That is until the truth behind Grandpa's bucket list, and their family feud, is revealed, testing Becka and KJ far beyond their limits.

Will they find a way to accept each other or will their grandpa's wish to mend his divided family end up buried alongside him inside his grasshopper green casket?

#LISTEN: HOOPLA MUSIC – The Beach Boys: Summer Days (and Summer Nights)

Beach Boys Summer Days (Summer Nights) Cover

Summer Days features "California Girls," and the band's second No. 1 single, "Help Me, Rhonda." Ever pressured by commercial concerns, Wilson and the band created what was in essence the true follow-up to the All Summer Long album. Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) stereo mix was created between 2005 and 2012 using the first generation basic tracking session multi-tracks, synced with the overdubs that were later added on second and third generation masters, to create the first true stereo mixes!
