Though she has very little free time, actress Candice King savors the moments she gets to pick up a book.
“I wish I was as consistent a reader as I used to be,” King — whose new series “We Were Liars” premieres June 18 on Amazon Prime — tells Page Six. “Life gets busy and I forget to pick up the books waiting for me on my bedside table.”

“This book made me want to put on some Sinatra and drive around Hollywood in a convertible and red lipstick. This love story left a mark on me.”
