Hello and happy Monday! Mondays just hit different in the summer!
How was your weekend? Ours was great…Friday night, we celebrated my niece’s birthday; Saturday was mostly spent at the state track meet, and yesterday, I was a lazy bum until the afternoon! Then, we attended a grad party and went to my brother’s house for dinner. It was a really great weekend, but I truly feel like I’m hanging on by a thread. The end of the school year was no joke and that coupled with the busyness of Friday and Saturday have me needing a moment to do nothing.
Did you catch my post yesterday? I recapped May in a “Monthly Moments” post. It was such a great month!

Now, it’s time to turn the page to June which means it’s time for summer reading!

Love this thought:

This is one of my favorite posts to put together every year.
Here’s a look back on my lists the past few years:
This was my summer reading list in 2021:

2022:

2023:

2024:

When I make these lists, I try to be reasonable with what I actually think I can read. It seems like eight to nine summer books is attainable. I choose books that are available at the library, but then there are typically books that I know I’ll be on the wait-list for a bit. And, usually, I will purchase one book that’s new and on my list. Anyway, here’s my summer reading list for…
2025:

Is it even summer reading without a book written by Carley Fortune, Nancy Thayer or Kristy Woodson Harvey? I added The Comeback Summer to my list again this summer since I didn’t get to it last summer.
The good news is that I’ve already started listening to All the Summers in Between, and I have One Golden Summer added to my Kindle. I’ve started reading/listening to both, and I have zero regrets putting them on my summer TBR list!
What’s one of the books on your summer reading list?


That sounds like a wonderful summer reading list! We have a few of the same books on our radar. I’m waiting for several of these to come in through our local library but I am thinking about treating myself to a new book when we get to Maine.

I loved the pic of your summer library shelf.
I had a rite of passage moment with Hadley. For years…I’d pull up to the library and she’d run in with my library card and check out whatever book I have on hold that’s waiting for me. Last weekend, she drove me to the library and I hoped out of the car and went in to retrieve my book haha
