My 2023 Spring/Summer Reading List
I’ve been really trying to get back into a habit of reading more regularly! There are so many wonderful books on my shelf that are patiently waiting to be read. I turn 36 this month and one of the habits I am dying to cultivate for myself is to spend at least 20 minutes reading every day. I know it’s not a lot but I find that I am spending way too much time on my phone in the evenings and 20 minutes a day feels like an achievable goal. So, to get me excited about reading again, I have got a list of books that I want to read over the rest of the Spring and Summer seasons!
My 2023 Spring and Summer Reading List
Looking at this list may seem like a lot to get through but I think with my 20 minutes of reading a day, it is doable and really there isn’t a time limit on when these are to be finished. I just wanted to share with you what books I have coming up on my “to-be-read” list!
Happy Place by Emily Henry
I don’t think I have ever loved an author and their books as much as I love Emily Henry and her books! In my post about Reads that are Great for Your End of Summer Vacation I recommended two Emily Henry books. Her writing is so witty and hilarious and I easily get sucked into her stories and before I know it, the book is done when I want it to continue on forever!
101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think by Brianna Wiest
This was definitely a book that I was influenced to buy. The various topics and ideas in the book are intriguing to me and I am excited to immerse myself into different ways of thinking!
Home Again by Kristin Hannah
I have read three other Kristin Hannah books. The Nightingale, Firefly Lane, and Fly Away. Each one had me ugly crying so I have avoided her books for a little while. But, I think I am ready to pull off the bandaid and dive into the book Home Again. I love her writing and she also lives in the Pacific Northwest and I love supporting writers from this region!
Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed
Ever since I read Wild, I have loved Cheryl Strayed’s writing and her advice on life is unmatched! This book is a compilation of columns from her advice column Dear Sugar and the podcast of the same name. Each podcast episode is like a therapy session and I am so happy that I added this to my list!
A Paris All Your Own compiled by Eleanor Brown
I have always had a fascination with Paris and when I got to go there in September 2017, it was just as magical as I had imagined. Just being in the vicinity of the Eiffel Tower was overwhelming but when my now husband got down on one knee and proposed, I completely lost it and fell in love with the City of Light. I think I was in love with it all along but to be there with my future husband was an experience I will never forget!
I first read The Light of Paris by Eleanor Brown in 2021 and I loved it! So, when I was looking online for some new books to read I came across more of her work! She compiled personal stories from bestselling female writers about their connection to Paris. I can’t wait to get stuck into this!
The Hotel Nantucket by Elin Hilderbrand
Our neighborhood has one of those little community library sheds and I picked this book out because it looked like such a Summertime book! I have never heard of the author before which is crazy because this book is her 25th novel…that is nuts! There’s a ton of drama and a little bit of Roaring 20’s history and I am here for it!
Harry Potter Books 4-7 by J.K. Rowling
I started the year wanting some comfort and the Harry Potter book series has always been that for me. I have all 7 books in audible and of course in hardcover beautiful books. It has been a long time since I read the physical version of the books (mostly because I LOVE how Jim Dale narrates on Audible). I am almost through Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and will be starting Goblet of Fire after! I am really enjoying rereading them again. It is just as magical now as it was the first time!
