I’m planning to read a bunch this summer because I tend to find myself with more times on my hands without a school schedule and we travel quite a bit which means I have to pack a ton of books since I get bored easily and also I am so pale that I have to hide indoors from the sun (perfect excuse to read).
So here are some of my summer reading recommendations for y’all, think of it like a summer book club except: I don’t want to meet in real life to discuss these books because 1) what if you hate the books I recommended and then we can’t be friends any more because I will realize you have terrible taste in books, 2) I don’t want to change out of my pajamas and strap on some shape wear let’s be honest and 3) I already have wine here and chocolate covered pretzels so I am ALL GOOD.
Here’s my summer reading list for your enjoyment (or not, but please don’t tell me). I have included the Amazon links but yo check out your local library cause they seriously just let you have that shit for FREEEEEEE!
This oldie but goodie never disappoints. Laugh until you pee a little (if like me you’ve had 4 ginormous human babies through natural childbirth and are too lazy to do kegels all day) and feel not so bad about yourself after. Jen is all of us.
This one is a page turner, I sacrificed sleep to finish it and I LOVE my sleep so you know it’s good. Also I love any book that is about the circus and or circus folk. I hang onto the little bit of heritage I have, where my circus folk at? Holla.
Ok where my cerebrals at? This is SUCH a good read, but bitch you gotta pay attention. You gotta focus your brain cells so no half asleep fluff reading, this is some next level shit. But worth it. If you’re not into paying that much attention, don’t watch the show based on this novel cause you won’t have one fucking clue what’s happening. Just ogle Ricky Whittle then.
I know I talk about this book all the time, but honestly I think Samantha Irby might be my spirit animal. She like truly gets me, my love of trash food, my refusal to put on proper pants, my inability to balance a checkbook, everything.
Before there were whole television networks dedicated to keeping me entertained with murder mysteries and forensic investigations, there was my love of Stephen King and Dean Koontz. I read all of their books when I was young and couldn’t get enough. I haven’t read this one yet, but it’s top of my summer wish list! I love the mysteries better than the supernatural stuff from Mr. King, I will let y’all know what I think.
