Another Summer Is Over.....


And another Summer Kickoff Feature has come to an end.  Guys, I had a blast sharing some of the best beach reads with you all this summer. This year it was an especially challenging and different summer, so I truly relished the opportunity to armchair travel to some beautiful places through all the fantastic beach reads. While I didn't read as many as I had hoped (do I ever???), now that fall is upon us, I am officially concluding this feature.

But that doesn't mean I won't be enjoying a few beach reads from time to time.  2020 pretty much requires it, right? I can always use a good feel-good read with a coastal setting!

So, what were your favorite beach reads of the summer? Here are my favorites:

Favorite Beach Reads:


 

28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand
Beach Read by Emily Henry




Runner-up: Summer Longing by Jamie Brenner




 Favorite Feel-Good Beach Reads:

    1. Me too! I agree. There was a time when she was hit-or-miss for me, but that time is definitely over! Thanks for visiting, Michele.
