I'm Yearning For Summer and Those Beach Reads, Please!

 

I want those lazy, crazy, hazy days of Summer... sooner than later! Late Winter and Spring have been pretty horrid weather here and I'm thinking about beaches, lakes, grassy backyards, nature walks with shimmering green leaves overhead. Add in tall glasses of iced tea, the scent of coconut oil in the air, and ball caps and sunglasses. Is it too much to ask, or am I rushing it?

 

I read in season as a mood reader, meaning I won't read Christmas stories in June or even Halloween horror stories (I don't even like horror, but whatever). It can be set in Spring or Autumn if it's not about a holiday, I guess. I like to have either fluffy romances, historical fiction, women's fiction, or chunky thrillers, in my "beach bag TBR".  Distant points on the reading radar... but these will fit the purpose. Here are some  so many of the titles I'm hoping to read this Summer. I'm sure I'll get to at least some of them. Where there's a will, there's a way!

Authors I've read before, have an * next to their name.

What is the name of a title you are looking forward to this Summer?
