It's HERE! 2025 Backlist Summery Reads

61 titles perfect for transporting you directly to summer!

The day has finally come!! Backlist Summery Reads Day!!

Some of my readers here have been with me for quite a long time ~ since my bookstagram days, or even just the past two years of my newsletter ~ and are well aware of my seasonal mood shifts. Suffice to say, I come ALIVE in the summer. Being away from my strict school year work schedule definitely helps, but also SO MUCH DAYLIGHT! SUN! WARMTH! GREEN GRASS! WATER, ALL THE WATER! TRAVEL!

Not to mention all of the absolutely delicious summery books that I devour this time of year. This is why this project is one of my absolute favorite to present to you every year ~ it’s 100% FULL of books celebrating my favorite time of year!

This is the third year of my Backlist Summery Reads collection, and I am so excited to get to present to you 61 titles that will deliver you directly to summer (or at least a warm climate!), no matter what your actual life or climate may be. Each year I have been adding to this collection, expanding and updating it to make sure that you not only get the summery titles I discovered the year before, but ALL of the backlist goodies that I loved in years past that you will be able to find easily at the library or used bookshops.

This PDF download and accompanying Bookshop collection are available below for all of my premium subscribers, as just one of your perks for helping support the work I do here all year long ~ THANK YOU!
