Hello friends! Happy Summer Solstice! 🙂 It’s officially time for my summer TBR–I’ll hopefully be reading a lot more in the coming months than I was able to during the school year. There are so many books that I’m excited to get to, but I’ve picked out a selection of ones that are very high on my list for this summer to publicly committing myself to reading (I’m really hoping that makes me stick to them ahh). Let me know if you’re planning to read any of these, or have read any of them already, and without further ado, here they are!
