There are so many books that I have been saving for the summer because I have become such a seasonal reader. There are just some books that look like perfect beach reads so I am excited to read these with my feet in the sand.
I received The Dead Romantics for Christmas and I have been dying to read it but I just know I am going to love reading it on the beach so I have been saving it. I have been recommended this so many times and I cannot wait to finally get to it. It is giving me Just Like Heaven vibes, which is a movie that I love.
Anita Kelly has the potential to become one of my favourite romance authors. I adored Love and Other Disasters and even preordered Something Wild and Wonderful but everything about it screams summer to me. As you can see, I love contemporary romance during the summer.
At this point, I think I read something by Alexis Hall every summer and I think this year I will be picking up Paris Daillencourt is About to Crumble. This is the sequel to Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake and you know I love a good foodie romance. All I know is that one of the characters in this book is obsessed with his cat, so I already love him!
I read When in Rome earlier this year and it was so much fun for me and I am excited to read Practice Makes Perfect, which is set in the same small town and follows the sister of the male love interest from book one. She owns a flower shop, so such summer vibes!
I meant to read Exes and O’s around Valentine’s Day but didn’t get to it, so I decided to wait for the summer. I don’t know what it is but I am more likely to enjoy a romcom during the summer than I am if I read it any other time of the year.
Kennedy Ryan’s romances are much heavier than what I typically look for during the summer months but I just adore her that I really want to get to Long Shot sooner rather than later. I know that there is a content warning for domestic abuse, so I will have to be in the right place to read it, but I trust Kennedy Ryan!
The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels screams summer to me! It is a Regency romance but with vampires and the vibes just sound perfect. There are two more books in the series so I would love to get to those as well if I like book one.
I am lucky enough to have an eARC of Family Lore. This is Elizabeth Acevedo’s adult debut, but I have loved all of her YA novels. It comes out on August 1st, so I hope to get to it in July so I can have a review out for you before then.
I have to mix it up because I know I will get burnt out on contemporary romance, so I think This Delicious Death will be perfect for that. If I am not reading romcoms on the beach, I was to be reading a teen slasher.
I have a physical ARC of The Invisible Hour and I am thrilled about it! You all know how much I adore Alice Hoffman.
What is on your summer TBR?

I hope you enjoy all of these books.
Thank you!
You have a lot here that are on my TBR. I’ve only read Practice Makes Perfect and Long Shot. I think Practice Makes Perfect would make a great beach read. Long Shot was really good, but it’s dealing with some dark, heavy topics. Make sure to check out triggers if you have any.
I am thinking I will read Long Shot first and then I might need Practice Makes Perfect after that. I know Kennedy Ryan’s book cover heavy topics but I have heard that about Long Shot in particular!
Currently reading The Rebel King but Kennedy Ryan. Then Capture the Sun by Jesse Mahilik(sp.), need to finish up Finally Mine, Silver Nitrate, the next book in the Alius Academy ARC and then in blocking off August for TOG until I finish it.
Are you enjoying The Rebel King? I am determined to get through Kennedy Ryan’s backlist eventually. I cannot wait for Silver Nitrate!
I’m loving The Rebel King so far. I can already tell it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
That is good to hear!
Dead Romantics is such a great read! Enjoy your books!
I am so excited to finally get to it!
The Invisible Hour has such a pretty cover.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
It really does!
Hope you enjoy them 🙂
You’re in for some fun! Long Shot was excellent, as were Adams’s, Poston’s and Lea’s books.
These do look like excellent beach reads. Enjoy!
Happy TTT!

Thank you!
I loved Dead Romantics! Great pick for summer. And I’m looking forward to the Alice Hoffman book too.
It looks like the perfect beach read!
And I just love Alice Hoffman!
I have Exes and Os and can’t wait to start it!
It looks so cute!
I recently purchased The Dead Romantics myself, and I can’t wait to read it!
Yay! I hope we both love it!
I just got Practice Makes Perfect on my online library, I’m excited to read it. Enjoy all these books!
Great post!
I still can’t believe I haven’t read The Dead Romantics yet! I literally got the book around the time it came out in stores, lol. I am definitely interested in reading that author’s new book, it sounds so interesting.
I rarely am able to stick to a TBR, but hopefully this summer I get around to reading The Summer of Broken Rules. I’ve heard it’s a really good book, and this summer seems like the perfect time to finally get around to reading it.
These do look very summery! I hope they’re good. Family Lore is one I’m excited to read.
Hope you enjoy these 😍😍
Good luck with your TBR! I loved The Dead Romantics, so I hope you enjoy it as well 😊
Thank you! I am so excited for The Dead Romantics!
