I recently shared a post about a book I have returned to again and again. It’s Still Life by Sarah Winman. It’s a story that covers it all; family, love, art, Florence, food, grief, you name it. I was also recommended the audio book version of this, read by Sarah Winman herself, where she really brings the characters to life…as if you couldn’t love them anymore.

Described on Good Reads as “a sweeping portrait of unforgettable individuals who come together to make a family, and a richly drawn celebration of beauty and love in all its forms.” It’s a book that will stick with you forever.

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect summer read lately, and wow, the response has been incredible! My inbox, DMs, and conversations have been absolutely flooded with book recommendations from friends, family, and fellow book lovers. I’m so grateful to everyone who shared their favourites, thank you, thank you!

Whether you’re heading to the beach, relaxing in the garden, or just looking for something to get lost in during warm, lazy afternoons, I’ve got you covered. I’ve pulled together 100 incredible book recommendations that will really move you.

So if you’re searching for your next great read this summer, this list is for you!
