AW Summer Reads

Posted By Danielle on May 15th, 2011

It’s almost Summer! Can you believe it?! I was recently asked in an interview which Summer reads I was most looking forward to and it got me thinking…what makes a great summer read? Now, I may have an unfair advantage having grown up a short drive from the beach and now living in our current residence only about ten minutes from some gorgeous beaches. Having said that…I think most imply a certain “getaway” feeling. For me, that may happen to be a breezy beach locale or it could be simply a getaway from life in general; something completely different from where I’m at at the moment, either in mindset or location.

At the moment there are quite a few books I’m looking forward to reading this summer, but I thought I’d highlight a few very “Summer-y” looking books you might be adding to your to-be-read pile. Take a look and you tell me…what makes the perfect Summer read for you?

I can’t wait for Sisterhood Everlasting (even though I haven’t read the others). I’m hoping the more mature catch up will be perfect for me. Great list!

I’m looking forward to Cathy Lamb’s book. I have read all her books and she never disappoints.

The First Day of the Rest of My Life looks amazing! What a beautiful cover. Also interested in Summer Everlasting, like JuJu, I haven’t read the others but the new one looks good!

Only the last book, do i not have on my wishlist to buy. I’m anxiously awaiting Cathy Lamb’s book the most, as i have read all of her books so far and have yet to be disappointed.

For me a good beach book has to have a beach or vacation setting. It feels apropos since i’m in a different location and would love to read about others in similar/better locations.

I’m definitely a “seasonal” reader. Summer books have to be fun and flirty and definitely a “summery” cover to grab my attention.
