Dive into a good beach read this summer with recommendations from two local librarians, Jen Ohzourk and Jennifer Alexander.
What makes a good summer read? For St. Louis Public Library regional branch manager Jen Ohzourk, it’s a book that is captivating, escapist, and easy to put down and pick back up again later perhaps after a swim or bike ride.

St. Louis on the Air, Ohzourk and St. Louis County Library Collection Development Specialist Jennifer Alexander shared their favorite beach reads.
JEN OHZOURK S PICKS:
“Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake” by Alexis J. Hall (2021) “If you like watching The Great British Baking Show and wonder about the real lives of contestants, this quick-paced, fun romance is for you! Single mum Rosaline is competing each week and also falling for another contestant, Alain. However, fellow baker Harry may be just the friend she needs.”
GovExec
GovExec expects to make more than $30 million in revenue this year.
The company has a profit margin north of 20%, its chairman said.
GovExec acquired City & State and is now looking to make more purchases.

Far from making cuts, however, the company whose publications cover the inner workings of the federal government has expanded, growing from 80 to 160 employees. It made about $20 million in revenue last year, with the goal of bringing in more than $30 million this year, according to CEO Tim Hartman.
