My Ultimate Summer Reading List

Need help sorting through the many summer books? I did, too.

So, I didn’t know what to do with the mountains of books I was getting sent. They all looked so good! And then I started reading and they all were so good! How to separate the wheat from the chaff? (What does that even mean, btw?!)

I decided to dig deep and curate tons of short, sweet lists based on topic, emotion, destination, and even title. Why not have some fun with summer reads?!

Here’s my list of the many books coming out sorted for you by category to make it more digestible. Of course, there are TONS more — and I just walked into my office to a new stack and was like, “Oh no! I didn’t include any of these!” — but it’s a good start!

I hope you find the book for you on this list. Print it out. Put it on your bulletin board. Pack it in your library bag. Listen to the accompanying podcasts out now or the new ones as they come out all summer long on Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books. (I’ll update the links!) All of them will be for sale at Zibby’s Bookshop on 11th and Montana Ave in Santa Monica and on my website.

So what are you waiting for? Dig in! Click here for the list, including an option to download it as a PDF! I hope this gets you even more excited for summer. And if you end up reading a book because of the list, tag the author and me (zibbyowens). Enjoy!!
