The 2025 All Things Summer Reading Guide
A guide to 40+ summer reading recommendations plus some bookish extras
Hello, readers! Today is the day. I'm excited to share my annual All Things Summer Reading guide with you!
If you're reading this, there's a good chance you, too, have fond memories of the joys of summer reading as a kid. Leaving the library with a giant stack of books, uninterrupted reading time, and little prizes when you complete your list.
Summer reading looks different in adulthood, with more responsibilities taking up our time, but I still believe we can tap into the same spirit of summer reading we did as kids.
The days are longer and a little lazier. There are more opportunities to be outside. We step out of our routines to go on vacation. And what better way to spend this bit of extra time than by digging into a great book?
This is my third year curating this guide for you, and as I put the final touches on it over the past few weeks and started to dive into my own anticipated summer reads, I've gotten so excited about this season of reading ahead. I hope this guide gives you the same feeling!
In it, you'll find 40+ curated recommendations—mostly books I've read and loved, plus a few new releases I have on my own TBR. No buzzy listicles or algorithm-driven hype here. Just thoughtful picks from one reader to another. Plus a few bookish extras ◡̈
My hope is that you'll find something in these pages that matches your summer—whether you're traveling, staying home, or just chasing moments of quiet in a busy season.
The full guide is available below to paid subscribers. When you upgrade, you’ll unlock this year’s edition, past summer guides, and my full archive. If you’ve found value in my recommendations, I think you’ll love what’s inside.
