In case you didn’t hear, summer reading is totallty in.
And the timing couldn’t be better, as Bedside Reading — a literary amenity creating curated libraries for luxury hotels, boutique properties and resorts since 2017, with a focus on providing top-notch reading experiences nationwide — returns for its 9th season to the Hamptons this Memorial Day Weekend.
This year’s collection, composed of highly anticipated “Poolside Page-Turners,” features a well-rounded collection for well-rounded readers, with genres covering romance, suspense, historical intrigue and much more.
Gifting bestselling buzzworthy books to hotel guests, Canoe Place Inn & Cottages in Hamptons Bays is the newest East End participant, joining an already healthy roster of hotel partners, which includes 1708 House, Baker House 1650, Beachcomber in Montauk, Capri Southampton, Journey East Hampton, Maidstone Hotel, Marram Montauk, Mill House Inn and Southampton Inn.
“Travelers today are looking for meaningful experiences,” says Jane Ubell-Meyer, founder of Bedside Reading. “A great book discovered in the right moment — poolside, oceanside or just before bed — can transform a stay. That’s what we deliver.”
Books offered through Bedside Reading are both physical books and a digital collection that includes audiobooks. This year’s “Poolside Page-Turners” include:
- A Dangerous Friendship by Robin Merle

“My goal has always been and still remains, ‘How can we help our authors become more visible and grow as a brand?’ says Ubell-Meyer on Bedside Reading’s website. “Over the years I am proud to have partnered with all the major publishers, the ever-growing independent and hybrid publishers as well as the incredibly talented authors that have entered my sphere. And of course, our amazing hotel partners. Everyone has played a crucial part in our success.”
