A Little Summer Reading Update 📖📚

Every summer is when I really start to get back into reading. During the school year all the reading I do is required and usually not very fun, but summer is when I read for myself. My favorite places to read in the summer is the beach, or a park like in the picture above.

This summer I’ve been continuing through the Shatter Me series which has been taking me forever to get through even though the books are great. I’ve also started reading Malibu Rising and a few other novels. I’m just hoping I can finish them before the school year starts again!

Summer is often a time for relaxation and exploration, making it the ideal season for diving into new books. With warm weather, many readers gravitate towards outdoor locations like parks and beaches, enhancing their reading experience. The series 'Shatter Me' not only captivates readers with its gripping narrative but also has sparked discussions among fans, making it a popular choice for summer book lists. In addition, novels such as 'Malibu Rising' have been garnering attention for their engaging plots and relatable characters, appealing to a broad range of readers. This summer, consider creating your own reading list that incorporates both contemporary novels and classic literature, ensuring a varied reading experience. Sharing your thoughts in online reading communities, such as Lemon8, can lead to discovering hidden gems and connecting with fellow book lovers interested in similar genres. Don't forget to document your reading journey with fun hashtags like #summerreading and #summerbookrecommendations, engaging with a community eager to hear about your literary adventures.

The Awe of God. It’s a good book I’d definitely recommend it

I’m reading Dark Matter! This man gets attacked and kidnapped and when he wakes up, his wife and kids no longer exist and his entire life is different and he has to find a way back to his old life. It’s so interesting!

I read a couple of Ashtyn Newbold’s regency romcoms and loved this so much. Mischief and Manors is no exception! The romance is adorable, it’s laugh out loud funny, and Annette’s mischievous younger brothers reminds me so much of my nephews. I’m a few pages into Alexander Hamilton and I am enth

I am still moving at a snails pace through Middlemarch. It very dense, but I do still love it. I get so immersed within the village and lives of the people within it. Even though I have barely made a dent, I can see this being a five star read for me. I started The Love Song of Ricki Wilde to h

I have been loving The Old Ways by Robert Macfarlane. The whole reading experience has been soothing and therapeutic. He describes the landscapes so well, and I love the backstories of the land and other people who have traveled them. It is slower paced, but as of now I see this one getting a high
