Dear bookworm, whether you prefer the beach or the pool, you know there’s nothing like having a great book to keep you entertained. Here are a few I plan to check off my list this summer:
For My Bookworm That Loves A Thriller
Into The Water by Paula Hawkins
Have you read The Girl On The Train? If yes, then know the suspense and mystery that will wrapped in this one. In Into the Water. a single mother turns up dead at the bottom of a river and her teenage daughter knows that there’s more to the story than suicide. I can’t wait to crack this one open!
I’ll Eat When I’m Dead by Barbara Bourland
Think Devil Wears Prada with as a thriller. Here’s the synopsis: A high-powered fashion editor dies in her office, her best friend / work wife Cat knows that it wasn’t because of something she ate (or, in this case, didn’t eat). Cat enlists the help of a detective and they get on the case — which winds the duo up in a web of sex, lies, and makeup counter madness.
For The Bookworm That Loves YA Fiction and a Little Romance
Always and Forever, Lara Jean (To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before) by Jenny Han
I’m a big fan of the first two books in the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before series: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and P.S. I Still Love You. So I’m excited to revisit all of these characters sipping frosé by the pool. Start with the first book and you’ve got a summer series.
Summer Days and Summer Nights: Twelve Love Stories
Ok, this one isn’t out until next week, but it’s a perfect beach/poolside read of yeah you guessed it 12 love stories written by young adult authors.
For the Woke Bookworm
The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin
“The impossible is the least that one can demand.”
― James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time
For The Bookworm Who Also Loves Pop Culture
Movie Star by Lizzie Pepper: A Novel by Hilary Liftin
This is a funny pool read that plays out like a E! True Hollywood story and is written by Hillary Liftin who is a ghostwriter that specializes in celebrity memoirs.
For My Bookworm Who Rereads The Great Gatsby
No One Is Coming To Save Us by Stephanie Powell Watts
I saw this book in so many articles about what to read in 2017. The story is basically a 2017 version of Gatsby, but I admit – I’m intrigued.
