Books to Have In Your Beach Bag

Books to Have In Your Beach BagMay is finally coming to an end, and June is on it’s way. Which means that summer is just around the corner. My idea of a great summer is lounging lazily in a pool chair with some tanning oil, lemon iced tea, a good summer playlist, enjoyable company, and last, but certainly not least, a good book.

So here’s a pretty quick list of books that belong in that beach bag!

Wanderlost by Jen Malone

I love a good coming-of-age YA book. And this one was just sooo good. It’s about a girl who takes her sister’s place as a senior citizens’ tour guide across Europe.

Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick // Book Review

So what do you think about the list? Will you be reading any of those books this summer? Would you add any other book to the beach bag? Let me know!

Reading is my sanctuary, and reviewing a book gives me the closure I need to move on to the next one.

    Shame on me, I’ve read none of these books! It’s a great list!
    Many have been on my TBR for ages though! I am considering reading The Sky is Everywhere during the summer along with some “heavy” classics.
    Can’t wait!

    Ah this is such a good list! I honestly want to read pretty much all of these books. I’ve been trying to find more perfect summer books so this has been very helpful! I think I most want to read ‘since you’ve been gone’ because it’s been on my TBR forever and ‘when we collided’ because I just read the names they gave us and it was amazing so now I want to read everything ever written by emery lord! Great list ❤️
