For many summer is a great time to start a great new book. From poolside summer reads, to midflight professional development, there's a summer read out there for everyone. If you're anything like me, you'll find yourself standing in a bookstore somewhere fully intent on picking out a great book to take on your next trip and wind up either not knowing what you want to read and spending an hour perusing books only to leave empty handed hoping to read reviews on Google later, or you'll leave with 4 or more books debating which to start first. 

Whether either of those scenarios sounds like you, or you're the type of person who knows what you want to read and either orders it off Amazon or is in and out of the bookstore in 15 minutes or less, it's always fun, and helpful, to hear what other people are reading and why they enjoyed it when looking for your next great summer read. 

Since it's officially summer, WEST leadership has compiled a list of their favorite reads to help you get your summer reading started. The WEST Summer Reading List covers a variety of topics and interests, from professional development to something just for fun, there's a book on our list for everyone. 

Check out some of the great recommendations below and let us know which was your summer favorite!
