As the warmer weather is set to take form over Boston we are excited for spring and summer reading outdoors! Here’s a few suggestions from our XV Beacon family. Happy Reading!
The Hotel Nantucket
by Elin Hilderbrand
This is one of our favorite books that she has written. Especially because it relates to our industry and we will give you a hint, we are mentioned in the book! Highly recommend!

World Travel
by Anthony Bourdain
Being a huge fan of the late Anthony Bourdain and someone travels for pleasure a lot throughout the year, I chose this book. It wasn’t until after I bought the book I realized his assistant wrote the novel. If you are into travel and learning about different cultures and food, than you will enjoy this book. Another amazing book that is written by Anthony Bourdain than I would recommend Kitchen Confidential.

As someone who love to read about murder mysteries this one is on the top of the list. The author ties together Greek mythology, murder, and obsession brilliantly.

From the celebrated, New York Times bestselling author comes a commercial thriller of an MIT grad student who unwittingly uncovers the hidden connection between the Gardner Museum heist and the most fascinating secret in American history. We love that he is a Massachusetts local too!
