Four 2026 Beach Reads

Well hello there, happy Tuesday!

When I was planning and packing for our spring break trip, I thought long and hard about the books I wanted to prioritize on vacation. I do this for most trips because vacation reading is some of my favorite and most memorable reading, and book choice is super important.

I knew I wanted to focus on the following:

  • Summery / beachy reads

  • NEW releases

  • Kindle titles

Those three things meant I dug into my massive pre-release library on my Kindle (with my trusty book notebook as a guide) to make a dedicated folder (aka collection) for the trip. I love using Kindle folders to reduce overwhelm and decision-fatigue ~ during the trip I ONLY saw the titles I had pre-selected!

I also originally added my spring titles to the folder but quickly realized I would save those for home and just focus on BEACHY / SUMMERY.

First up, the summery books in the folder I didn’t get to read this trip, but am excited to read soon!
