Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve made a list of books to read every summer. This list often includes all the books I’ve been too busy to read all year, some upcoming releases, some nonfiction on topics that interest me, and lots of fluffy novels to read in the sun.

This year, my list is 32 books long and includes many titles I’ve been absolutely dying to get into from a variety of genres and authors. I’ll be updating this list on the 1st of each month with the titles I’ve read and what I thought of them. Stay tuned!
