Submit your summer reading list recs

Every year, I put together a list of books that have appeared in the newsletter or that have been discussed within our community— and it’s that time again! But first, I need your recommendations.

What are you reading, or what have you read since last summer that you can’t stop thinking about? We’re down for any genre, new or old books, not just the stuff our algorithms are serving us. What should we all have on our list and in our overflowing TBR piles this summer?

I’ll be adding your suggestions to my own list over at Bookshop. Once the list is up, I’ll send it out so you can all use the Bookshop link to order any books on the list you’d like.

All affiliate proceeds from purchases made through our summer reading list link will be donated. In the past, we’ve donated to abortion funds and PCRF. Feel free to nominate an org below alongside your book title shares. When I share the final list, I’ll also share where we’ll be donating.
