Summer Reading List Roundup, Part 1: Fiction

Summer reading!  Hiphiphooray!  Is there anything better than reading on the beach, by the pool, in a hammock, or on a plane on your way to vacay? No, no there is not. 

So, in celebration of my love for books, my love for summer, + my love of lists, I'm doing a 3-part miniseries over the next 3 Tuesdays, focused on summer reading. We'll start with fiction this week, move onto non-fiction next week, and end with yoga books in our final installment. 

Ready? Here are the fiction books that I've got on my list this summer: 

• Etta and Otto and Russel and James: A Novel by Emma Hooper: This book came out in May, and I've already heard about/read about it in multiple places (But definitely couldn't tell you where or when). It sounds really sweet and has a focus on self-exploration + self-discovery, which is one of the things I look for in a good fiction read ;) 
  
  
• The Life and Death of Sophie Stark by Anna North: The [fictional] story of a documentary filmmaker told by those who knew her and loved her when she was alive. Again, it's gotten great reviews.
  
  
• I Take You by Eliza Kennedy: This one just sounds like a super fun beach read all about the ushe--relationships, love, marriage, and infidelity. One reviewer said it had the humor of Bridesmaids. Um, yes please! Sign me up.
  
  
• Louisa Meets Bear by Lisa Gornick: I heard about this book on an NPR Book Review, and although it sounds *pretty* twisted, it also sounds really interesting so I'm going to give it a go.  
  
  
• The Vacationers by Emma Straub: Although this book came out over a year ago, I heard a lot about it back then and somehow never read it. It was around the same time that I heard about Where'd You Go, Bernadette, which I'm finally getting around to reading now (and loving!), so I thought I should add this one to my list. Plus, it just sounds really summery, ya know? 
  
  
• Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll: Called "This summer's Girl on the Train." Enough said? 
  

What's on your summer reading list? You know I love a good book rec, so please do share!

Up next Tuesday: My Non-Fiction Summer Reading List. Can you tell how excited I am to get reading? I've got a plane ride to Peru coming up in July, so I'm starting to gear up...
