As summer comes to an end, it's only natural to take a moment and reflect on the ambitious reading list we set out to conquer. Personally, I opted for a modest summer TBR, fully aware that work commitments and travel plans would shape my sunny months. To my pleasant surprise, not only did I manage to delve into a significant portion of my intended reads, but I also ventured beyond the boundaries of my initial list. In the spirit of sharing my literary journey, I'm excited to present a roundup of seven captivating books that have accompanied me throughout this vibrant season, each one leaving its unique imprint on my summer adventures.

The Spanish Love Deception
The first book I tackled from my summer tbr was "The Spanish Love Deception" by Elena Armas. If I'm being honest, this book failed to leave a lasting impression. While the book's concept intrigued me, I struggled to find something likeable about the female lead character. Plus, it was entirely wayyyyyy too long. I mean no romance book needs to be 482 pages long. It wasn't the worst book I've ever read, but if I were you, I would skip this one.
Heart Bones
Unfortunately, this is one of the books on my tbr that I did not get around to reading. I don't know why I keep putting this book off since I've heard a lot of good things about it. I'm not exactly sure what it's about, but I know at least part of the book takes place in summer which is why it was on my tbr in the first place. I will say that I'm glad that I have the old cover of this book because the new cover is not as cute to me. Someone please convince me to read this in the comments!
The Summer of Broken Rules
This is another book that I have not read yet and I will most likely be saving it to read next summer. I have seen a lot of praise for this book as well and I
think this is the book that has Taylor Swift references? I could be wrong on that but regardless I am determined to read it next summer, mark my words!
Book Lovers
Okay, this is the last one on my summer tbr that I did not read, I promise. Truthfully, I haven't read this one yet because I have heard mixed reviews. Some people love it and some people do not. I love Emily Henry's writing and I've never given one of her books below a 4-star rating, so I'm sure I will be in the group of people that love this book. However, I wanted to read her other books more this summer so I did not get around to this one, but I have a feeling that I will by the end of this year!
