So the kids are back in school as of this week, and now parents have time to do their own summer reading.

Or perhaps you’re looking for an intriguing new beach read if you’ve scheduled your sand-and-sea time when schools are in session to avoid summer’s crowds.

We asked two local booksellers their recommendations for great page-turners as well as books to watch for this fall. Kelly Flemings, Barnes & Noble community business development manager, and Katie Garaby at independent bookstore Star Line Books, share their favorites.

Current favorites from Kelly Flemings:

1. “The Plot Is Murder” by V.M. Burns.
