what i've read this summer as a college student!

now that it's summer, i've had so much more time to read without homework and classes. these are just the first of many books i've read and will read this summer!

#gettoknowme #collegestudent #books

2025/6/17 Edited to

As a college student, summer presents a great opportunity for leisurely reading. This summer, I've explored a variety of genres that offer escapism and personal growth. One of my favorite reads was 'Carrie Soto is Back' by Taylor Jenkins Reid, a powerful narrative about resilience and passion that captivated me from the first page. Another standout was 'Circe' by Madeline Miller, a mesmerizing retelling of mythology that adds depth to familiar tales. If you're on the hunt for more suggestions, consider diving into 'The First Lady' by Patricia Cornwell—a gripping blend of politics and crime—or try 'Never Forget Neverland' by Savannah Noelle, a playful twist on the classic Peter Pan story. Additionally, classics like 'Pride and Prejudice' remain timeless, offering insight into society and relationships. Each of these books not only entertains but also ignites thoughtful discussions among friends, making them perfect summer companions. Whether you're lounging by the beach or relaxing at home, great reading can enhance your summer experience. Keep an eye out for these titles and don't hesitate to share your own recommendations!
