Summer Book Club

Over 50 Reads! As Voted By You...

I think we’re all book lovers in this Seedling community. Whether faithful to paperbacks, listening to audio in the car or on walks, or the kindle on commute or on holiday - there a few better feelings than escaping our busy lives with a good book. Even better reading with toes in the water and sun on your back while on a summer holiday…

I have a stack of books by my bed that I haven’t started or have begun but not yet had the headspace to fully get into. It takes me a few days on holiday to unwind and be able to focus on a good book so the first on my holiday beach read list either need to be utterly un-put-down-able or light and funny. Then I can get into the flow of reading as much as I can.

Here we’ve rounded up a mega list - over 50 titles in fact, brilliant new releases and old faves - and all have been suggested by this community, so thank you! Some older classics, some new releases, from crime to romance, thrillers to fantasy, and so many I can’t wait to read.

For me? I love all sorts of genres - novels, wellness, biographies, crime, romance, the lot but I cannot not mention a recent book discovery that I know some of you may know and for those that don’t, it’s time to get on it! A series of books by global sensation Sarah J. Maas. You can read them separately but for the best experience, read in the order of each series and preferably: Throne of Glass series, A Court of Thorns and Roses series, and then Crescent City series. You’ll be hook, line and sinker into them all I promise. A little steamy, proper escapism and utterly un-put-down-able! I also adored Darling and The Paper Palace from the list below in recent years.

This big bumper summer book club includes novels and fiction plus a couple of-the-moment biographies. We’ll run a separate book club for non-fiction, wellness and self-improvement in September. I can’t wait for your recommends on that!

I hope you enjoy our list below, thank you again for those that offered their recommendations and please, please add in the comments below your recent or all-time favourite reads so we can all keep reading through the summer and beyond.

Happy hols wherever you are.
