Summer Reading List Roundup, Part 1: Fiction

6/16/2015

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...

I read a lot. I belong to a book club and get two new books a month (and often order more). Currently it's all fiction - I'm not a TV person and reading is my evening escape. I used to read non-fiction but I've been studying intensively for a year and reading a lot for my course so in 'my' time I just read for fun. It's hard to recall all the books I've read but I'm currently reading and enjoying 'The Last Talk With Lola Fay'. It's quite different to most books out there, the characters (two) are interesting and you're given enough detail from the get go to keep you intrigued but not able to guess how it will turn out. I'm only half way through so we shall see. A few on your list are also on mine and I've added a few of your choices, so thanks!
