Summer Reading Guides
For the last six years, I’ve created and offered a summer reading guide to kick off my FAVORITE season of reading. These have been exclusively for my newsletter subscribers as a thank you for subscribing & following along with my writing journey.
But since I shifted to Substack and have a new audience, I decided to offer my past guides here all in one place, especially since this is the first year I didn’t create a guide.I stand by all my recommendations, and I am a huge fan of backlist titles, so if you’re looking to add a little fun to your summer, check out one of my guides below. (For content warnings on books, check out StoryGraph. ) Several of my reading guides offer fun challenges, whether it’s conquering your reading list or some family bucket list items, as well as printables and recommendations for all ages! This guide is something I enjoy putting together every year, so I hope it can bring a little bookish fun into your summer.
These guides do take time to put together, and while they’re always free, if you’d like to support my work, consider donating below! (Suggested $5/guide)
