Time for Some Binge Reading

In the TV world, a new phenomenon has all but toppled the traditional mode of "appointment viewing": binge watching, wherein viewers watch many episodes of a show in a row. With a host of exciting new installments of some of our favorite bestselling thriller series due out this fall--including a new Jack Reacher novel from Lee Child, Sue Grafton's "W" installment of her alphabetical series and John Grisham's follow-up to "A Time to Kill"--we suggest you do the same for books: binge reading. Whether you're an initiate to these top series or need a refresher, we've lined up your summer's binge-reading schedule based on how quickly you'll need to read the books to catch up with the series by the time their next installments hit bookshelves.
