I read The Magicians by Lev Grossman last summer and it felt very much like a summer book. Bright, upbeat vibes.

For the covers, I've put pictures here: https://ljbookbingo.livejournal.com/15509.html

I don't really think of anything that would make a read feel "summery"... When I was younger and we went abroad for the summer holidays, my parents would read SAS books for my father and Agatha Christie for my mother. I was reading comics magazines. But now, I don't feel like my reading change with the seasons.

I don't think I have a favorite cover, but one of my recent faves was this one.

That’s a great cover!

There's too many gorgeous covers out there for me to choose just one favorite, but...pretty much any book from this series definitely qualifies.

As far as summer reading, I pretty much read whatever, whenever, lol. The only time I try to make my reads match the season is during the two months of Halloween Bingo.

Like the comment above, my favorite cover is a series of covers. It's from The Realms of the Elderlings series by Robin Hobb. Specifically the Rain Wild Chronicles (https://www.goodreads.com/series/49413-rain-wild-chronicles). This is the first cover:


The covers just get more gorgeous as the series progresses.

My favorite reading spot is our front porch. In the summer I sit in a rocking chair there and read for hours on end. I even have a category for what I consider to be "Porch Books" - They are fun, easy reads. This summer I plan to read the Easy Rawlins Series (https://www.goodreads.com/series/53392-easy-rawlins) by Walter Mosley. It's going to be fun. I read the first book years ago, loved it and finishing the series is one of my bucket-list tasks. Mosley is an awesome detective/noir genre writer.

The Heavenly Horse From the Outermost West by Mary Stanton. Middle school me saw this book at the library and that was it. :D



I don't really have any 'summer' reads, just working on challenges and getting through the TBR stack.

I don't have a particular cover that comes to mind, but I love covers that intrigue and catch my attention but don't give away too much of the story. The last cover I can really remember doing so is Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend. If you ignore the hype, it's a good book.


I don't have any summer books..I've never considered reading seasonally other than, I used to read Harry Potter every winter near Christmas. ;p
