Summer Reading 2026

Posted on by jgalvinwhite

Hello and happy Thursday!

Well, we did it…we finally finished up the school year. Today, is the first official day for the kids…although they’ve been summering off and on the past couple of days thanks to a few early finals in some of their classes. I still have a work day with graduation today and a faculty meeting tomorrow, and then I can officially say hello, summer break.

Speaking of summer break, I always look forward to having a few summer books to read during my couple of months off.

This is one of my favorite posts to write because I just look forward to having some downtime to read and a list to look forward to checking off. That being said, I will sprinkle in some other books that are on my TBR list…like right now, I’m reading Mad Mabel which I’ve been looking forward to reading even though it’s not on my “official” summer list.

This was my summer reading list for 2021:

Here’s my list for this summer…2026:

I hope to read all of these, but most summers, I fall a couple short. We’ll see how it goes this summer, but I’m looking forward to checking as many of these off my TBR summer list as possible:

To me, it’s not summer without reading a new Carly Fortune book, and the same with Kristy Woodson Harvey. I want to watch People We Meet on Vacation, but I want to read the book first! I’ve read a few books by Ali Brady, Brooke Lea Foster, and Meg Mitchell Moore, so I’m looking forward to their books as well. The Sandy Page Bookshop sounds sweet, and I’m currently listening to Our Italian Summer.

I just need school to quit getting in the way of my reading/listening time!

What’s on your summer TBR list?!

    I love these collages and summer reading just makes me happy! Is there anything better?

    I hope you have a pool reading day in your near future.
