I can’t say It really feels like a “normal” Summer, yet we are officially in Summer! Every year, I craft my Summer reading list thinking about reading these books at my favorite beach on my favorite Greek island. I would typically be there right now… but then again, this year is a little bit different than most. Nonetheless, I am excited to read these books before Fall is upon us.
I have writer friends, including the witty, funny, and glamorous Karin Tanabe. I finished her latest book, A Hundred Suns, this past weekend as the Summer Solstice was upon us. I could not put it down.
Possibly the opposite of a “summer read,” yet I don’t think I need to explain why this is on my reading list. White Fragility by Robin DeAngelo.
And because it’s all about balance, at the other end of the spectrum, a summer crime series read: The Guest List by Lucy Foley.
The Untold Story of Barbara Hackman Franklin and A Few Good Women by Barbara Hackman. Because my friend Marc Ross said I should read this, and Marc Ross is very smart.
Another Summer read, on the theme of female friendships, that I can’t wait to dig in to, is Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner.
The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson, which comes highly recommended by two of my Book Club girlfriends.
And The Culture Code by Clotaire Rapaille, which I have been carrying around with me since I last traveled in March. In true escalation of commitment, I will not stop carrying it around until I read it cover to cover!
What are you reading this Summer?
I love your summer reading list. I usually make sure one too, but at the moment I just go with a flow and read anything I can 😊
