I think many of us like our books served two ways: cozy with a blanket during the Fall and Winter, or outside by the beach and pool in the Summer. I know Summer isn’t technically over until September 21st, but it certainly feels like this year with the Pandemic everyone is craving the coziness of Fall. For one, I will miss the sunny, long days reading by the pool with a cold drink! Here are some great books to check out to finish out the season!
The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager
I mentioned Riley Sager last month with his latest book, Home Before Dark ( ). I’ve definitely gone down the rabbit hole of reading his books! This one is perfect for Summer because it takes place at a camp!
Synopsis: Emma was a first-time camper at Camp Nightengale when three of her bunkmates disappeared. The camp closed, and Emma never received any closure. Years later, as an adult, Emma is invited back to Camp Nightengale as a painting instructor. Torn between wanting to know the truth to receive the long-awaited closure she’s always wanted and the deadly price to pay for it, Emma digs deeper into the clues the girls left behind.

With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo
I absolutely loved this book! I can’t recommend Elizabeth Acevedo’s novels enough. I’ve also read Clap When You Land, which is her latest release, but it’s a bit heavier and written in verse. I think With the Fire on High is a perfect Summer read!

While she dreams of being a chef, she knows she has to make practical decisions. But that doesn’t stop her from dreaming and finding a way to make herself happy too.

Finding Freedom by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand
Continuing with the royal theme is a new release! There’s lots of controversy surrounding this new book, about Harry and Meghan’s departure from the U.K. and the British Royal Family. I’m excited to read it!
