And the kitchen cannot be missing, the heart of the house, a meeting place for all affections. Here too the 3-step method, emptying, cleaning, filling, is the right one. While in another room every now and then you can ignore it and let the mess progress slowly, in the kitchen, no. The number 1 rule for the author? Always have the sink clean and shiny, so the whole house will cascade a little at a time.

Summer 2020: books to put … in the Kindle! – Italian Cuisine

True, i books it's nice to own them, browse the pages, arrange them in the home library according to our personal order. But in summer you have to deal with the space in your suitcase! Here then is the excuse to switch to digital books.

E-book, 11 ideas for this summer

If thissummer you want to stay lighter and carry wherever you go wherever you go e-reader with all the books you want to read inside without having to choose just a few for logistical problems, here we have selected for you some news (and more), for all tastes, to download to your Kindle.

It is not a last release, but we suggest, for example, The Hummingbird of Sandro Veronesi, recently announced as the winner of the 2020 Witch Prize, a hymn to vital energy that allows us to survive in the darkest moments. For fans of serial books, in mid-July it will come out instead Riccardino the last act of Commissioner Montalbano of Andrea Camilleri, one year after the disappearance of the writer. In our selection there are also the labors that have had light in quarantine and that show us that moment from many points of view, such as the last book of Chiara Gamberale; books that help us understand the present moment (looking to the past) like that of Corrado Augias, and then rediscovered readings, but always contemporary (and futuristic) like the works of Margaret Atwood. There is no lack of sentimental thrillers (see the book by Ferzan Ozpetek), detective novels capable of keeping us on the edge with constant twists (we refer to the last of Joël Dicker, author of world hits including The truth about the Harry Quebert case) and highly anticipated detective stories (the latest novel by Don Winslow in Italy from 9 July). The story out of the pen sways between adventure, fun and melancholy Tito Faraci, or that of a cartoonist who decides to change his job by opening a fish shop in the illusion of having an easier life (but it will not be). And if finally, the night of San Lorenzo, you asked yourself by chance impossible questions like: "If all the stars come down?", know that someone has tried to answer between game and science, but also that someone has imagined The sea without stars.
