I can’t believe it is June and that summer is officially right around the corner!!! This is the perfect time to decide what books you want on your TBR (to be read) list for the months of June and July. I want to help you out by giving you my personal summer book recommendations!

I tend to be what people call a “mood reader”, meaning instead of just being able to pick up the next book on my shelf and reading it, I have to be in the mood for a book. That could mean being in the mood for the genre or the setting…or anything really. I also like to read books during the season they are set in if possible, especially during the summer. Give me alllllll the books that take place at the beach or during a summer vacation!
