I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists. Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much. Last week I found 5 cozy mysteries that are set during summer. This week I'm looking at 5 non-cozy books set during summer!
1. Mansion Beach by Meg Mitchell Moore - This book looks gloriously summer-y and is a retelling of The Great Gatsby
2. One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle - Summer in Italy with a story that touches on some deeper more emotional subjects.
3. A Happier Life by Kristy Woodson Harvey - Two timelines in North Carolina with family drama and a bit of summer.
4. The Edge of Summer by Viola Shipman - Another summer while touching on heavier topics and a heaping helping of family secrets.
5. Summer Romance by Annabel Monaghan - This is an author I haven't read anything from yet but have been wanting to try some of her books. There's some starting over and a dog which are subjects I enjoy!
What summer-y books do you have on your TBR?
I loved Summer Romance! But then I'm a fan of Annabel Monaghan's books. Happy reading all of these. :D
ReplyDeleteI read One Italian Summer and liked it. Her other book In Five Years was very good too, I liked that one. Viola Shipman has been a win for me but have not read that title you mentioned. Wild to me that Viola Shipman is a man as he nails the genre from a woman's perspective.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's always a cool trick to make your books quite tense and dark - and then set them in bright, sunshiny weather:)). Thank you for the list, Katherine.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these but do recognize the covers. All bright and summery.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these authors but I have seen them all. Romances, or more accurately life fiction?
