As summer vibes roll in, many of us are excited for warm weather filled with lots of sunshine, BBQs, and a less hectic pace.

As we've learned to live with the pandemic, people are getting back to their daily lives, getting out to eat, out to travel, out to do whatever it takes to wash off the past two years — and the publishing industry has gotten the memo. Likewise, readers also stepped up last year, with avid readers significantly increasing their literary intake, according to the article, Eye-Popping Book and Reading Statistics 2022, by Toner Buzz.

Whether you’re relaxing next to the ocean or in a lounge chair on your back porch, your summer reading will be more enjoyable with one of these books in your hand.
