My TTT .
Isn’t it? I love that cover!
OMG You’d Be Mine makes such a great summer book! And I just loved the Whiskey Creek series, but my favorite is When Snow Falls – just LOVED Cheyenne & Dylan SO GOOD!!
The Brown Eyed Bookworm
That WAS a good one!
I haven’t read a single one of these so now obviously I’m questioning what I’ve been doing with my life. LOL That J. Daniels series has been on my TBR for so long. Maybe one of these days… ?
LOL. READ THE J DANIELS SERIES! It’s soooo good!
All of these scream summer! I love that cover of Unexpected Everything. It’s also one of my favorite Matson!
It’s just so fun! I’m also a fan of Since You’ve Been Gone. Those two are probably tied for my favorites of hers.
I haven’t read any of these books, but heard great things about You’d be mine, and The Unexpected Everything. I haven’t read Open Road Summer but loved the author’s other work The Start Of You And Me. It’s one of my favorites.
I think you would LOVE You’d Be Mine. You would probably like Open Road Summer, too. It’s not quite up to her other, but it is related.
Kasie West’s books definitely feel summery to me, although I think it’s mostly because they’re light and breezy, no matter what time of the year they take place.
Happy TTT!

Yes, they do for sure!
I put You’d Be Mine on my list too. I mean summer is all about music tours for me
It’s such a great fit for the topic!
Those are very summery covers. I still haven’t read a Morgan Matson book. And have only read one Sarah Dessen book so far. I need to work on those. Great list!
Really? That surprises me! I really liked Since You’ve Been Gone by Matson. And I’m even more shocked about Dessen!
Thanks!
I’ve gotten several of their books from the library, but it always ends up being one of those situations where by the time the hold is ready, I’m not in the right mood for them.
Totally get that.
You’d be mine is on my TBR it looks so cute! Love all these recs 🙂
It’s so, so good. It would be perfect to read this summer…just saying. 😉
Sarah Dessen and Morgan Matson’s books always seem to have that summery vibe. 🙂
Yes, they do!
Great list!! I unfortunately haven’t read any of them yet, but several are on my TBR.
One of my favourite themes!! I live for summer and beach themed books. Sarah Dessen will make this list for me every time! Great picks! 🙂
This is her area of expertise for sure!
I LOVED Summer Rental!!!!
It might be my favorite of hers. 😉
Loved The Unexpected Everything! They definitely all scream summer. 🙂
I feel like Sarah Dessen is the perfect summer author haha
She is!
Love the YA selections! I’ve been meaning to read Kasie West’s books, actually, and I enjoy Morgan Matson’s stories!
If you like Matson, you will probably like West. She’s a little lighter.
Great list! Love all the summer vibe books. I really need to read the Morgan Matson and Kasie West books you mentioned. I own them and have yet to read them.
I have done that with their books before, buying them and then not reading right away. I hope you love them!
When Summer Comes is my favorite cover!! You nailed this prompt!
Thank you!
All of these fun and sunny covers almost make me forget about the ridiculous heat and humidity that are starting to roll in … almost. But seriously, a lot of great picks this week! Summer Rental has been sitting on my bookshelf for a lot longer than I care to admit. Maybe this is finally the season for it.
I hope you read it! Maybe the beach vibes will cool you down.
Susan Mallery books are the perfect summer reads! I can’t wait for her upcoming one. Great list!
My TTT
Thank you!
I love Morgan Matson covers, they always are so fun and summery!
Yes, they are!
Great list. They are definitely all great covers. Funny most seem to be romance, which is often the topic of summer reads.
