					<description><![CDATA[<p>Here is my reading list for the Spring and Summer Seasons! All books are by female authors and the variety of subjects and topics are sure to keep me busy!</p>
<p>The post <a href="https://learningtobloom.com/index.php/2023/05/05/my-2023-spring-summer-reading-list/">My 2023 Spring/Summer Reading List</a> first appeared on <a href="https://learningtobloom.com">Learning to Bloom</a>.</p>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;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&#8217;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!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">My 2023 Spring and Summer Reading List</h2>



<p>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&#8217;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 &#8220;to-be-read&#8221; list!</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Happy Place by Emily Henry</h3>



<p>I don&#8217;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 <a href="https://learningtobloom.com/index.php/2021/08/23/four-reads-that-are-great-for-your-end-of-summer-vacation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="">Reads that are Great for Your End of Summer Vacation</a> 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!</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think by Brianna Wiest</h3>



<p>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!</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Home Again by Kristin Hannah</h3>



<p>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!</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed</h3>



<p>Ever since I read Wild, I have loved Cheryl Strayed&#8217;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!</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Paris All Your Own compiled by Eleanor Brown</h3>



<p>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!</p>



<p>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&#8217;t wait to get stuck into this!</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Hotel Nantucket by Elin Hilderbrand</h3>



<p>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&#8230;that is nuts! There&#8217;s a ton of drama and a little bit of Roaring 20&#8217;s history and I am here for it!</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Harry Potter Books 4-7 by J.K. Rowling</h3>



<p>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!</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>I love a good beach read. There is just something so fun and easy about them and I always feel transported which is what we all want in a good read! I always root for the main character and feel overcome with emotion when things finally work out for them with their love interest! Here are four reads that I highly recommend for your end of Summer vacation! The Newcomer by Mary Kay Andrews I love the way Mary Kay Andrews can tell a love story! This is a new release for her and it did not disappoint. She always writes a strong female leading character and her settings take place down South in quaint beach towns or charming Southern cities! This book comes with a little bit of suspense thrown in too which shakes things up a bit! Beach Read by Emily Henry Emily Henry is a new-to-me author but I quickly fell in love with her style of writing. It is witty and hilarious but also captures true emotion in the small moments that make up a good love story. Emily writes wonderfully complex female lead characters who I personally find so relatable that I feel like they could be a best friend! I loved this book! People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry I liked Beach Read so much, I immediately downloaded this book on Audible. A friends to lovers story is always so much fun to read because the feelings can be so all over the place and the author describes them so perfectly you can&#8217;t help but root for the two main characters to end up together already! Paris is Always a Good Idea by Jenn McKinlay This is kind of a cheat because I read this back in April and technically it doesn&#8217;t take place during the summer but I think this is a great candidate for a vacation read! Books about people who go traveling in search of themselves always appeal to me (I have read Eat, Pray, Love at least 3 times). This book takes the main character to Ireland, France, and Italy and I cannot even describe how much wanderlust I had once I finished this book! WHAT ARE YOUR SUMMER READING RECOMMENDATIONS? SHARE IN THE COMMENTS OR OVER ON INSTAGRAM!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Newcomer by Mary Kay Andrews</h2>



<p>I love the way Mary Kay Andrews can tell a love story! This is a new release for her and it did not disappoint. She always writes a strong female leading character and her settings take place down South in quaint beach towns or charming Southern cities! This book comes with a little bit of suspense thrown in too which shakes things up a bit!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Beach Read by Emily Henry</h2>



<p>Emily Henry is a new-to-me author but I quickly fell in love with her style of writing. It is witty and hilarious but also captures true emotion in the small moments that make up a good love story. Emily writes wonderfully complex female lead characters who I personally find so relatable that I feel like they could be a best friend! I loved this book!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry</h2>



<p>I liked Beach Read so much, I immediately downloaded this book on Audible. A friends to lovers story is always so much fun to read because the feelings can be so all over the place and the author describes them so perfectly you can&#8217;t help but root for the two main characters to end up together already!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Paris is Always a Good Idea by Jenn McKinlay</h2>



<p>This is kind of a cheat because I read this back in April and technically it doesn&#8217;t take place during the summer but I think this is a great candidate for a vacation read! Books about people who go traveling in search of themselves always appeal to me (I have read Eat, Pray, Love at least 3 times). This book takes the main character to Ireland, France, and Italy and I cannot even describe how much wanderlust I had once I finished this book! </p>
