My Summer 2024 Reading List!
It’s here!
This is one of my favorite days of the year – sharing my summer reading list. Oh my gosh – there are SO many great books this year. My list doesn’t even cover them all. I am so excited about all of these reads for the season!
The first half of the list is full of books that are already released, with the second half in order by release date. There are some weeks where I just can’t even wait for a new release. I have 99% of the books linked below to bookshop.org. If you are able to purchase the books through bookshop, it would mean so much to me! Bookshop supports YOUR local independent bookstore. To me, bookstores are MAGICAL. I walk in and instantly feel like I’m in a Nancy Meyers movie and could stay there all day.
If you prefer to purchase on amazon, I’ve also made a 2024 summer reading list shop here for easy access.
Also! If you’re new around here, my go-to reads and favorites picks are most types of women’s fiction. Light, fun, beachy reads are my #1 choice. I love to listen to nonfiction, memoirs and autobiographies on audible. I like thrillers, but have a few triggers that I stay away from. I read to escape, to get lost in the story, to feel like the characters are my friends. And I actually love the day after I finish a great book and can’t even stand to start a new one because I’m mourning my new (character) friends. It’s the best worst feeling.
I can’t WAIT to hear your recommendations in the comments, what you’re reading now and what’s on your list!

YES!!!!! I’ve been coming to the blog every day waiting for this lol. And so excited for upcoming Summer Fridays!!
I’m finishing Funny Story now (love!!) and also listening to The Book of Doors (my goodness, it’s phenomenal!!).
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Such a great list!
I got an ARC of the Next Mrs Parrish and devoured it! Kindle Unlimited has a free very short prequel to The Last Mrs Parrish called The First Shot which I also enjoyed.
I’m so excited for many on your list but I’m most excited for Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter (Bad on Paper podcast) on June 4th
OMG, I’m so excited for this! I’m just about to finish Darling Girls and it’s fantastic! This Summer Will Be Different is next.
I didn’t realize Liane Moriarty had a new one coming out! Looking forward to that one.
Do you think you’ll actually read all of these?
OK but have you gotten into the Romantasy genre yet!? Fourth Wing? ACOTAR? You would probably love them!!!
Haha I came here to say this!
Can’t wait to dig into these rec’s! Also, why can’t there be summer reading programs for adults?! I want to chart my progress with stickers and be rewarded with Lisa Frank pencils and pizza parties =)
Many libraries do this! Mine does, and the first year I won a mug and a gift card to our local bookstore!
Holy cow this is a long list!! How do you get all this reading done?? I love it!
The Return of Ellie Black was really good!
How I love your summer reading lists! I’ve read a few on your list already- this summer will be different is my favourite read of the year so far 💗
I’m surprised you didn’t mention this is Elin’s LAST SUMMER BOOK!!! 😭 I’m so sad.. I’ll have to go read everything she wrote when she first started now!
I’m so looking forward to Swan Song! It’ll be a bittersweet read for sure. I can’t believe it’s EH’s last!!
This would be much more helpful if you provided 1-2 sentences about the book plot instead of just the names
Don’t miss “Not Another Love Song” by Julie Soto! July 16th :)
