Summer Reading List

June 2, 2025

Wow, I have so many fun summer books that I am so excited for! This summer will be much more relaxed than last summer, and I am really hoping it is filled with camping and reading and enjoying the season. Other plans we have are, lots of swimming, moving ( yes, again ) and because of this, some interior design and nesting. I am so excited to read all these and more and maybe find my new favorite book!

• Brownstone by Samuel Teer and Mar Julia

• Persuasion by Jane Austen

• Delivery Girl by Sophia Rowe

• The People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry

• Happy Place by Emily Henry

• Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

• Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez

• The Match Breaker Summer by Annie Rains

• You Have a Match by Emma Lord

• The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Keller

• Sandwich by Catherine Newman

• The Wedding People by Alison Espach

I have been wanting to keep this list a little shorter because, like I said in my spring reading list, I never end up sticking to this list and then I get frustrated with myself. So, using this as a launching board, I will be referencing this list when I am not sure what book to grab next. Another thing I have mentioned in the past and I am sure you can see based on this list, is that I want to be reading seasonally and really feeling like the books I am reading are part of the season that I am in, and I feel like this list is perfect for that. All of these are very summer friendly reads! I am excited to sit next to the pool, or find a seat mid hike, and enjoy these books.

As always, if there is a book you would like me to read and review, please send the recommendation to me over at aly@alydevine.com or on my contact page on this website.
