I love reading lists! Currently reading Beach Read by Emily Henry on your recommendation. It’s not my usual choice of genre but it’s fun and I could use some fun these days :)

Oh fun! Let me know what you think. I JUST finished "Just for the Summer" this morning and I loved it so so much. Perfect summer read.

You're so welcome! Have you read any of these? Are there any not on the list you recommend?

Yes, I've read so many! I loved all the Emily Henry's (Book Lovers is my favorite), Just for the Summer, Summer Romance and have This Summer Will Be Different on my TBR for this summer. I will check out It Happened One Summer and The Burnout, both sound interesting. I've never read Elin Hilderbrand (I may be the only person who hasn't) but plan to give one a try this summer. I also love your travel lovers recommendations, I haven't read them but they sound right up my alley. I can't think of any to add to your list right now.

Love this list! I loved Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series but haven’t picked up anything of hers in ages. Definitely adding a few of these titles to my list.

Thanks so much for the book you sent to me for my membership welcoming gift. I am new to travel and “The Beginner Traveler’s Guide” by Jason A. Robinson is perfect! I love the way they have the chapters arranged and it looks like a great source of information for me. I am going to Europe in the fall. This will be a 1st trip for me. This book is going to help me so much!

Love this list! My favourite here has been Book Lovers. I also really enjoyed Funny Story, but when it comes to Emily Henry I think Book Lovers stays untouched as my favourite.

Yeah I love Book Lovers. It mostly stays number one but Beach Read is right there with it. Did you read the new one yet?

Oh my goodness- IMMEDIATE book hangover. I don’t think I’ve ever loved two main characters more. I just wanted to keep hanging out with them lol.
