Summer Reading List

Hey there, book lovers! 🌟 If you’re looking for your next read, I’ve got you covered with some honest reviews of recent page-turners from my summer reading list. Let’s dive in!

1. Happy Place by Emily Henry (3/5)

Emily Henry’s Happy Place is like a cozy sweater that’s slightly too big. It’s charming and relatable, with a sprinkle of wit, but it might not have you swooning. Perfect for a chill weekend read, but don’t expect fireworks.

2. The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown (4/5)

The Book of Doors is a wild ride through mystical realms and secretive plots. With its imaginative and thought-provoking storyline, it’s a great pick if you love unraveling complex mysteries. Just buckle up for a mind-bending journey!

3. The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley (4/5)

If you’re into suspense with a side of shady characters, The Paris Apartment is your jam. The intricate and unsettling plot keeps you guessing, while the characters are delightfully deceptive. A solid choice for fans of gripping thrillers.

4. The Guest List by Lucy Foley (5/5)

Lucy Foley nails it with The Guest List. It’s intense, wild, and filled with mind-bending twists. This one’s a must-read if you love suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Highly recommend for those who like their thrillers with a hefty dose of drama!

5. Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt (3/5)

This might be a hot take- Remarkably Bright Creatures is an endearing tale with a touch of whimsy, but it’s not exactly groundbreaking. It’s like a comforting cup of tea—pleasant but not particularly memorable. Perfect if you’re looking for something light and heartfelt. I highly recommend listening to it via audiobook if nothing more to hear Marcellous the octopus narrated 💕

6. The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner (3/5)

The Lost Apothecary offers a mix of historical intrigue and modern-day mystery. While it’s engaging, it doesn’t quite leave a lasting impression. A good read if you enjoy historical fiction with a hint of the mysterious.

7. How to Solve Your Own Murder by V.M. Burns (3.5/5)

A bit of a quirky gem, How to Solve Your Own Murder combines humor with mystery. It’s a fun ride, though it may not blow you away. Ideal for a light-hearted whodunit with a unique twist.

8. The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune (4.5/5)

The House in the Cerulean Sea is pure magic. Heartwarming, whimsical, and uplifting, it’s a beautifully crafted story that tugs at the heartstrings. If you’re looking for a book that makes you believe in the goodness of people and the magic of found families, this one’s for you.

That’s a wrap on this batch of reads! Whether you’re in the mood for suspense, magic, or a cozy escape, there’s something here for every kind of reader. Happy reading! 📚✨
