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?
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart
I have romance books for all seasons. Lol! I'd love to check them out.
ReplyDeleteThese all look good and perfect for the summer.
ReplyDeleteAnother great list, Katherine!
ReplyDeleteFive very nice Summery looking books. I do enjoy Annabel Monaghan 's books and have one I haven't read sitting in my wish list at Audible.
