Cozy Summer Reads

These page-turning cozy summer reads are just what you need for your beach bag. Try these summer books that embrace cozy love stories, small-town fun, and even light family drama.  This is the episode you need for your beach bag! I know I am LIKELY not your go-to for COZY reading choices, so I thought I would bring on a guest who would be. When I read something that gives me warm fuzzies, you know it is a rare gem that deserves to be talked about.  We have the stack for you if you love a good happily ever after, beach house settings, magical realism, and stories about falling in love. Today’s books have fun twists and turn that will keep you turning the pages until past bedtime. These plotlines are light enough for beaching read while still delivering on stories that would be perfect for a summer book club. In this discussion we share our mutual adoration for Emily Henry (a featured author in this year’s summer reading guide) and Steven Rowley.  We also embrace a few farfetched mysteries, food-themed literature, lighter family dysfunction, and bookish-themed talesMentioned in this episode:Limelight by Amy PoeppelMomAdvice on PatreonThe Couch Podcast: Reading About Books & Reading with Amy Allen ClarkBook Gang: This Will Be Funny Later with Jenny PentlandVeronica MarsThe Lincoln Lawyer on NetflixThe Lincoln Lawyer by Michael ConnellyThe Lincoln Lawyer movieBook Gang: Cozy Up With These Winter ReadsBetter Homes & Gardens Ventura Outdoor Rocking ChairFre Sparkling RoséMr. Wrong Number by Lynn PainterThank You for Listening for Julia WhelanThe Kindred Spirts Supper Club by Amy E.
