Still looking for a summer read? The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon was having that same problem and decided to start the first ever “The Tonight Show Summer Reads.”

Jimmy did the research – looked at the cover, read the inner flap, studied the reviews - and picked 5 titles for a viewer vote which was announced on his show, June 29. The winner was: Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.¹ This summer, use your library card to "walk around with that book everyone’s got" and read the others while you wait or when you're done.

The 4 contenders were:

• The Good Son by You-Jeong Jeong
• The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin
• IQ by Joe Ide
• Providence by Caroline Kepness

Follow and interact with Jimmy Fallon and the Atlantic County Library System
on Instagram by posting pictures of yourself reading and your comments on the books
