No summer vacation is complete without a book to lay on the beach with! From hilarious and swoony rom coms to feel good cozy mysteries, the beach read is as essential as swim gear and sunscreen for a relaxing day spent on the sand.
There’s no wrong answer when it comes to curating a summer TBR list. Staple reads like Kristin Hannah’s Summer Island are great for readers looking for something more than this year’s trends, while the deluxe edition of Emily Henry’s bestselling romance Beach Read–complete with sprayed edges and endpapers in the colors of an ocean sunset–is a great option for fans who want to revisit their five star favorites and add to their bookshelf wealth! For readers plugged into the book buzz, Stuck Up and Stupid and First-Time Caller are set to be the stories of the summer that bookish influencers will be talking about, while new releases from fan-favorite authors like Ali Hazelwood, Lyla Sage, Jojo Moyes, and Annabel Monaghan are sure to reach bestseller status. For folks who like the thrill of mystery more than steamy romances, Murder by Cheesecake is a lighthearted cozy mystery that features the Golden Girls caught up in a scandal in the middle of a Miami summer, and How to Solve Your Own Murder is a New York Times bestselling twist on the classic English murder mystery with clever Agatha Christie vibes.
