I’m not going to belabor the intro, so let’s get right to it: today’s newsletter is packed with page-turning summer reading recommendations. I’ve organized them into a few categories, including romance and love stories, true crime and thrillers, memoirs, historical fiction, Elizabeth Strout favorites, my personal summer reading list, and recommendations from all of you.
When I picture summer reading, I imagine lounging in a hammock under a tree, sitting on the beach, or kicking my feet up in the garden with a good book. Of course, summer reading looks different for everyone, but that’s part of the magic of the season, the chance to slow down, savor the season, and get lost in a great story.
Whatever kind of book you’re craving, I promise you’ll find something here to match your reading mood. And the best news? More than half of these books are backlisted titles so they should be easier to borrow at your local library!
