Since yesterday was the summer solstice for the Northern Hemisphere, I just wanted to give you all five summertime recommendations! All five of these books I love with my whole heart, and I think they would be such perfect summertime reads! Like, I immediately want to go to the nearest body of water and reread all of these again! But I hope you all enjoy these recommendations, loves! 🏖
➽ The Hating Game by Sally Thorne 💕
This is one I see all the time on beach reads recommendations! But that’s because it is honestly the perfect summer time read! It’s so sweet, and so swoony, and I think this is also a great doorway book to get into romance!
➽ Wild Beauty by Anna-Marie McLemore 🌺
Family, flowers, and falling in love. This book means the world to me, and I read it at the end of last summer and still can’t stop thinking about it. Lush and beautiful writing, amazing character direction, and a heartwarming story that I totally recommend for you all this summer!
➽ The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw 🌙
The Wicked Deep has a really cool summer aspect, but everything comes to fruition on the summer equinox! And this has hardcore vacation and traveling vibes, too! And I think this book has a lot to offer for so many different types of readers!
➽ Geekerella (Starfield #1) by Ashley Poston 🚀
This is such a fun, summer time book, that focuses on all things geeky! This stars a boy and a girl that are communicating through text messages, in a Cinderella retelling, where they will meet at their favorite fandom’s convention!
➽ The Bird and the Sword by Amy Harmon 🕊
This is probably the best Fantasy Romance I’ve ever read in my entire life. It is such a beautiful blend of the two genres that highlights both. I couldn’t put this down, and I devoured it in one sitting! I hope I get to book two this summer on the beach!
Okay, loves! Let me know if you’ve read any of these! Or if you’re going to! Also, feel free to recommend me beach reads, because I’m always on the hunt! Also, if you’re looking for 2018 summer releases that I’ve already read and loved, check out this post! And I hope you all have such a wonderful summer, filled with all the good stories! 🌻☀💛

Always looking for new books to read, so this list was great! I can never concentrate long enough when at the pool or beach to read. I so admired those that have that attention skill. I see the water and just want to go swimming, LoL.
