Summer 2024 Reading List

Happy summer, guys! I hope you are all enjoying breaks from school and/or warm weather, depending on where you are. I’m certainly having a great time in between school/exams and beginning my job in July. I almost always create a summer reading list of all the books I want to read over the months. This list consists mostly of academic and smart literature, but I’ll also put in quick fantasy or romance books just for fun. Arguably, the summer is my favorite time to read because there’s so much time without school to get invested in many books. So, enjoy my reading list for this summer, follow along if you want, or comment recommendation you have for me!

  • Legendary (Caraval Book 2) by Stephanie Garber
  • Finale (Caraval Book 3) by Stephanie Garber
  • The Atlas Paradox (The Atlas Series Book 2) by Olivie Blake
  • Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows Book 2) by Leigh Bardugo
  • Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari

Summer 2024 TBR!

Hi, all! Summer is officially here for me and I am out of school—thank Taylor! I’ve been reading lots, as I always do in the summer, but I thought I would make an official summer reading list of all the books I’ve been “saving up” to read over the summer, as well as an update whenever I read any of them. This way, you guys can follow along, maybe add a few of these to your own, or suggest more to me. Enjoy and hope you all read a lot over the summer!

  • Moby Dick by Herman Melville
  • Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harrari
  • Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

To Be Read (TBR) List

Hi there! If you’re a reader, you are probably familiar with a To Be Read list or a TBR list. You may also know this little-known fact about TBR lists: they’re never-ending! That’s right, I swear a miracle would have to occur before my TBR list gets below 15 books. Most of the recommendations for my TBR come from TikTok or personal recs, but a few are ones I randomly saw on a friend’s bookshelf or the bookstore. Feel free to search for reviews or summaries for anything that looks interesting. I’ll update each time I read a book and can finally cross it off the list!
