10 best books of June 2015, according to Amazon's editors

Here are the titles Amazon editors selected for the beginning of summer.

8. 'The Book of Speculation,' by Erika Swyler

Debut writer Swyler's book tells the story of the Watson family, members of which have worked as "mermaids" in carnivals (women who can hold their breath for a long period of time).

"It's a mystery, it's a story of sisters," says Nelson. "Really interesting and unusual."
