Some romantic reads to enjoy at your destination. Easy, fun, and somewhat sexy.
It’s such a fun and romantic read. It’s a quick read to check off it before the movie comes out on Prime!
The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
A fun, quick, surprisingly emotional read. I loved this even before seeing the movie. It’s so cute!
Red, White & Royal Blue: A Novel
A romantic book if you’re in the mood for some heartbreak. It’s my favorite book of all time for a reason!
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
Couldn’t decide whether to put this in lit fic or romance. It’s so good either way!
Heart the Lover: King, Lily: 9780802165176
The best romance read for the beach… I mean it’s literally in the title!
Beach Read by Emily Henry - 9781984806734
Historical Fiction
Historical fiction to make you think and recontextualize what you’ve been taught.
An emotionally stirring story that might take you longer to get through but it’ll be soooo worth it! Read it before the movie comes out!
The Nightingale: A Novel - Kristin Hannah
I sobbed at this one too. Kristin Hannah is brilliant. It was one of my favorite recent reads.
The Women: A Novel - Hannah, Kristin
I swear I read this book in 24 hours. It’s so dramatic and addicting!
Babylonia by Costanza Casati | Goodreads
Romantasy
Get swept away in a new world of magic and romance.
I know that everyone recommends this series but they do it for a reason!!!! It’ll take up your whole summer.
Throne of Glass - Sarah J. Maas
This book is dark and will devastate you but it was also my fave book of last year. It’s a long but really thrilling read!
Alchemised by SenLinYu - 9780593972700

You’ll be hooked by these until the end and will think about them well afterward.
Everyone’s talking about this one for a reason. Join in on the conversation! It’s also going to be a movie too… 👀
Yesteryear: A GMA Book Club Pick Novel
A really good exploration about relationship dynamics between families and lovers. It is very thought provoking.
Intermezzo: A Novel by Sally Rooney
Had to throw some weird girl lit in there. You won’t like the protagonist and that’s ok!!! I really love this one.
My Year of Rest and Relaxation - Ottessa Moshfegh
