Listed: Summer Books 2024

An extravaganza of summer book lists to help you curate your best summer tbr 🏖️

Hello! I hope you’re having a great weekend. I’m spending our long Memorial Day weekend at the lake and the weather has been sunny and warm- summer has officially arrived🏖️ Outside of a cookout with family, a few games of competitive corn hole (my team won!), weed pulling (not fun), and hummingbird watching (they are back in full force and it’s a delight), I’ve spent time researching and browsing the vast array of summer book lists/guides hitting the internet lately. Today, I’m sharing a curated list of the ones I think you might enjoy browsing as you decide what you want to read this summer.

As a mood reader who often flies by the seat of my reading pants, I “think” I’m going to make a loose summer tbr because, like so many of you, I’m overwhelmed (yet excited!) about all of the new release and backlist book possibilities I want to read this summer. From these lists, my focus/priority is finding under the radar books that sound good to me. What are you looking for in your summer reading this year? **These are LISTS, I’ll be sharing the summer reading guides I’ve been browsing in an upcoming newsletter so stay tuned:)

The research and curation of these lists are so much fun for me, but they do take quite a bit of time to bring you what I feel is a wide variety of worthwhile options. To support my work and enjoy all of my content, consider upgrading to paid. Click below for details
