I really hate that I’m sharing my Summer Reading List. Only because it means that reading by the pool season is coming to an end. Except who am I really kidding because pool season in DC went to October last year.
Anyways.
I’ll be honest, my Summer Reading List doesn’t have much rhyme or reason to it. I tried to make it themed. I really did. But in the end, these are just the books I read this summer and really liked. There are a few that I left off of this list, but they’ll be in my “Oh America” reading list coming up in a few weeks (I couldn’t deny that theme).
Kindred Spirits
I love anything Rainbow Rowell, so a novella from her was a perfect way to break up some heavier reading. It’s also perfect for anyone who loves Star Wars.
When Dimple Met Rishi
This book was too adorable. I listened to it on audio and I could not get enough of it. I think I may even go back and buy the hardcover, I love it that much and want to support the author.
Always and Forever, Lara Jean
I’m a diehard Lara Jean fan, so of course the third book in this series LINK was going to make it in. I also can not wait for this movie to come out. If you’ve missed out on this series, do yourself a favor and go read the entire thing asap. You’ll have your best weekend ever.rich
North of Happy
I wanted to give the main character in this book a hug. Seriously. This book starts off pretty tragic, but I promise it gets better really quickly. As a lover of the Food Network, I also loved this book (you’ll have to read the description to see why).
Once and for All
Wow, this was a good summer for all of my favorite authors. Again, Sarah Dessen ride or die. New book lived up to my love.
Pigs in Heaven
I don’t know why I’m always hesitant to read Barbara Kingsolver novels, especially since I always love them in the end. This was the sequel to NAME, but it was just as good as the first. I also love how it incorporated even more of the characters from the first.
Rich People Problems
It was also a great summer for sequels/trilogies. The third book in the Crazy Rich Asians series, this one did not disappoint (and maybe got even crazier, if possible).
Small Admissions
I went into this book expecting to not like it. I don’t know why. Maybe it was the cover art? Isn’t it crazy how much that could influence your opinion? Anyways, I came out really liking it and having a hard time putting the book down. It was nice to see a book where the women actually managed to get their sh*t together.
There were so many other books this summer (and a quite a few duds in a reading slump), but these ones definitely stood out above the rest. Let me know if you’ve read any of them or if you’re going to check them out.
