What are some books I should add to my summer reading list?

The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah(or anything by this author), The Woman in the Window (suspense), The Giver of Stars or Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

I’ve read Me Before You. Loved it! I have the sequel on my list. Have you read the sequel?

I’ll add the other two as well. I’ve heard good things about the The Woman in the Window.

These suggestions are not the lightest summer reading but so riveting and good!
The Nightingale - Kristen Hannah - super intense, but I could not put it down
The Great Alone - Kristen Hannah
City of Girls - Elizabeth Gilbert
Where the Crawdads Sing - Delia Owens
The Flatshare - Beth O'Leary - this one is very much a summer read - light and fun!!

Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad by John Eldredge

The Last Blue, by Isla Morely

Sara- yes! There are two sequels, and they are both great!

OH wow! Didn't know that Stacy.

BIG thanks everyone. Feel free to keep the recommendations coming everyone. I'm sure I'm not the only one benefiting from this smorgasbord of reads.

Captivating - Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman’s Soul, by John Eldridge.

I love all kinds of books, this is a few of my favorites
Veronica Speedwell Mysteries by Deanna Raybourn
Allie and Bea -
Women's Murder Club series by James Patterson
Maximum Ride by James Patterson
The Great Library series

If you haven't read The Power by Naomi Alderman, that's a bit of a brain-melter while also being an easy read. I'm hot and cold on Neal Stephenson but I thought his latest, Reamde, was a lot of fun. NK Jemison's Broken Earth trilogy, the Dublin Murder Squad by Tana French, the Wolf Hall trilogy by Hilary Mantel--none of these are "light reads" but they're all super engrossing. I can also recommend the NPR book concierge (apps.npr.org/best-books/ind...)as a resource when you run out of the books listed here!

I second NK Jemison's Broken Earth series! Lurrrved it! I'm also a lover of speculative fiction, especially series of multiple books that can keep me engaged for a while, and my recent favorite series are the Murderbot series by Martha Wells (series of novellas followed by a full length novel). The Wormwood Trilogy by Tade Thompson (scifi), and the Ancillary Justice series by Ann Leckie. (Some of these led me to other works by Wells and Leckie which are also fun!) If you want some heavier speculative fiction, Octavia Butler is amazing.

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothess

Eva- me too! I love series 📚

Read Meridith Masony and Tiffany Jenkins each wrote a book and they are fantastic!

I loved Gideon the Ninth. Akata Witch and Akata Warrior were both great fun to read. Both Vicious and Vengeful by V. S. Schwab were page turners, and I am excited to read her new book, The Invisible Life of Addie Larue. I am also really excited to read the Murder Bot stories. Aah! So many great books! I am loving seeing everyone’s book recs in this thread!
