There are so many good books out there, and I have a lot on my list this summer. Though I may not get to them all by August, here’s 10 books that I want to read, six of which I have acquired (above) and four I still need to. Summer reading is my favorite; there’s nothing quite as lovely to me as sitting in a beach chair with the sun sparkling on the ocean and being consumed by a really great book. I’m excited to dive into these.
Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano
I am currently reading Hello Beautiful, and about halfway through – it’s amazing.
The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece by Tom Hanks
Did you know Tom Hanks writes? He actually came to Nashville this spring, and my mom and I got to see him speak in person with Ann Patchett, author and owner of Parnassus Books, our local bookstore. We received copies of the book at the event. I’m honestly not sure I’ll get to this one over the summer, but I will at some point!
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
The premise of this book didn’t initially interest me, but so many people have been talking about it that I decided to buy it and give it a try.
Happy Place by Emily Henry
There’s been a ton of buzz about Happy Place, and after enjoying Book Lovers last summer, I’m looking forward to another Emily Henry read.
The Guest by Emma Cline
I haven’t read a good thriller in a while, and I’m excited for this one.
Same Time Next Summer by Annabel Monaghan
So many people loved this author’s book Nora Goes Off Script (which I have not read yet). I’m looking forward to reading this summer romance at the beach.
Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortune
I’m interested in this romance as a potential beach read as well.
A Perfect Vintage by Chelsea Fagan
France in the summertime just sounded perfect to me.
The Whalebone Theatre by Joanna Quinn
I love historical fiction, and this one, set during World War II, intrigues me. I’m going to wait until it comes out in paperback on August 1 to buy it.
Have you read any of these? What’s on your summer reading list?
