When it comes to favorite beach blanket reads, fiction is often the first thing we pick. A saucy romance or fast-paced page turner; a dog-eared bestseller; maybe a classic re-read for the third time. But for book lover Kelly Horan, non-fiction tops her list this summer. Kelly is a writer and journalist who runs the Friday Night Authors Series at Jabberwocky Bookshop in Newburyport, Massachusetts.

The Crowd Sounds Happy: A Story of Love, Madness, and Baseball
by Nicholas Dawidoff (Pantheon)
The Mysterious Montague: A True Tale of Hollywood, Golf, and Armed Robbery
by Leigh Montville (Doubleday)
