My Summer Reads


Oh the joy of books. If you know me in person, you know how much I love reading and buying books. I could gush about a current read for hours on end while trying desperately to get the other person to match my level of enthusiasm. 

Over the course of quarantine, I have had a ton of time to read. I mean what else am I going to do while stuck indoors? Now I know this list looks long, but I am including all of my recent reads from back in March til now. As a college student who had to switch all of her classes online after spring break, my summer reading started very early.

I will not pretend to be a book reviewer, so I just put a few basic things under each book to give you some insight into how I felt about them. I didn't go into great detail because there are some great booktubers who do a much better job at book reviewing then I ever could.

For booktube recommendations, I highly encourage you to check out these channels:

  • A Clockwork Reader
  • Books with Chole
  • Hailey in Bookland
  • Irish Reader

I love those channels so much!

Anyways, I will stop my rambling nonsense and get straight to the books that I have devoured during my quarantine summer!
