There’s something about a long weekend that makes me crave a good read. Here are a few of my favorite summer reads for the 4th of July weekend.
A spooky Appalachian roadtrip is the perfect thing for a long weekend.
Memorials: A Novel
A heavy topic set in the summer of 1950. Not your typical summer read but great nonetheless.
The Reformatory: A Novel | Barnes & Noble®
A summer camp thriller fits the vibe.
The God of the Woods: A Novel | Barnes & Noble®
A writer goes back to his Maine summer home to try to restart his writing career but the town has changed and he’s going to get involved. It’s set on and around the 4th of July.
Bag of Bones: A Novel | Barnes & Noble®
For my non-spooky friends Fall of Giants is an excellent read. If you love politics and social movements this will entertain you. But fair warning it’s a beast of a book.
Fall of Giants (The Century Trilogy #1) | Barnes & Noble®
My favorite nostalgic summertime classic. This explains why I am the way I am.
Goosebumps Book Series by R.L. Stine | Barnes & Noble®
Yet another summer camp thriller. This one is still an absolute favorite.
The Last Time I Lied | Barnes & Noble®
This book is like popcorn. Perfect to read by the pool.
The Next Mrs. Parrish | Liv Constantine
This book straddles the line between paranormal and not. I loved it.
The House Across the Lake: A Novel | Barnes & Noble®
The best coming of age/summer adventure short story ever in my humble opinion.
