Is it hot where you are? We are DEFINITELY in Summer here! We’ve already hit 100 degrees a few times in June and I’m not looking forward to even more hot weather this month. But there is some good that comes with the heat, like ice cream and lemonade….and time in the water! This month, we’ll spend time reading books about the pool and road trips – both things I’m getting to experience in July! We are also going to be reading books with numerals in the title in honor of my birthday! What kind of fun are you having this summer?
Here’s a few books we’ve previously reviewed that fit well with our theme this month:
- A Happier Life, Kristy Woodson Harvey
- The Beach at Summerly, Beatriz Williams
- Book Lovers, Emily Henry
- The Brighter the Light, Mary Ellen Taylor
- The Getaway List, Emma Lord
- The Guncle, Steven Rowley
- Love, Naturally, Sophie Sullivan
- The Mostly True Story of Tanner & Louise, Colleen Oakley
- My Magnolia Summer, Victoria Benton Frank
- The Summer Book, Tove Jansson
- Summers at the Saint, Mary Kay Andrews
Some additional books you should check out are:
- Because of Winn-Dixie, Kate DiCamillo
- The Getaway Girls, Dee MacDonald
- Honeymoon For One, Portia Macintosh
- L.A. Weather, María Amparo Escandón
- The Summer Melt, Emily March
What books would you add to this list?
Years ago, I had a Jeep Wrangler and loved summer because I could drive around with the top down and good music playing. I had a playlist like this and any time I hear some of these songs, I instantly get a smile on my face and think about the warmth of the sun on my face! Do you have songs like that? Hope you enjoy this one!
