When I think of summer, books always come to mind. Because if you’re anything like me, then summer is the time when you reexplore your love of reading and invest your time in blooming romances and thrilling murder mysteries.
But often times the hardest part is finding a book that entices you and grabs your attention from the moment you read the description. Which is why I am thrilled to be sharing 12 best-selling summer reads.
Some of these books I have already read, and others have yet to be checked off my list, but all of them share the title of “best seller”. In addition to being best-sellers, I placed a star next to my top picks (some of my favorite books).
A short summary of each book is given thanks to Goodreads.
