Summer usually flies by before we know it, and with so many incredible books out there, it's hard to fit them all into one season. Based on the popular theme of "20 books still on my summer TBR," here are some additional tips to make the most of your remaining summer reading time. Firstly, try organizing your reading list by priority or mood. You can categorize books by genre (romance, thriller, fantasy), length, or publication date so that you focus first on the ones that excite you most or are quick reads to boost your count. Many readers find success in reading a mix of light beach reads and more intense titles to balance entertainment with depth. Another fantastic way to keep your summer reading fun and social is by joining or forming a summer reading group on platforms like BookTok, Goodreads, or Lemon8’s own community. Sharing your progress, reviews, and excited anticipation for upcoming reads builds motivation and introduces you to new titles recommended by fellow readers. Don’t forget to check if there are any author events or online book talks about the books on your TBR list. Some new releases come with virtual Q&A sessions or readings that make your experience more engaging and deepen your connection to the story. Lastly, the key to not feeling overwhelmed by a long TBR list is to remind yourself that reading is a joy, not a race. It’s perfectly fine to pause or revisit books if your interests shift. Summer is the perfect season to explore diverse voices and genres you might not usually pick. In essence, whether you’re working through your "20 books still on my summer TBR" or discovering new recommendations through hashtags like #bookrecs, #booktok, and #bookhaul, there’s plenty of time left to dive into captivating stories that fit your summer vibe. Just grab your favorite drink, find a cozy spot, and let the pages transport you away before fall arrives!
