This was such a fun and easy prompt to do!
Summer makes me think of ice cream, cookouts, picnics, sand, sunscreen, swimming, beaches, sandals, swimsuits, and more.
I tried to incorporate as many different types of these images and similar images into my response as possible.
No, I have not read these books yet. I tend to read a lot of science fiction that has nothing at all to do with typical summer topics, so I had to get a bit creative in order to participate.
If you have read any of these books, I’d love to hear what you thought of them!
1. Love & Gelato (Love & Gelato, #1) by Jenna Evans Welch
2. Murder Cuts the Mustard by Jessica Ellicott
3. Thank You for Flying Air Zoe by Erik Atwell
4. The Southern Side of Paradise (Peachtree Bluff #3) by Kristy Woodson Harvey
5. Honeymoon for One by Beth Orsoff
6. A Starless Sky by Paige Agnew
7. Tropical Dreams by Kelly Cozzone
8. Seven Fires: Grilling the Argentine Way by Francis Mallmann
9. Shug by Jenny Han
10. We Had a Picnic This Sunday Past by Jacqueline Woodson
Oh, yes, We Had a Picnic This Sunday Past. Perfect for summer!
Very nice!
Some lovely summery books there. I love the “Love & Gelato” cover. And I know “We Had a Picnic This Sunday Past”, we sold them in our school book sales, I believe.
Thanks for visiting my TTT this week.
You’re welcome. And that’s so cool!
Fabulous covers!
Thank you.
Ice creams are definitely a summer essential!
🙂
Great list! I recently watched the movie Love & Gelato on Netflix.
Thank you. I didn’t know that book had been made into a film. Was it good?
Murder Cuts the Mustard looks really sweet!
Agreed.
Those covers with ice cream/popsicles make me want one right now! These are great summer cover picks, Lydia 😍
Thank you very much!
These are such fun, summery covers!! Although, it does make me wish I was on a beach somewhere instead of in West Texas.
🙂
Great post!
Thank you!
Some really great choices for this prompt! Shug is gorgeous!
Thanks. I’m glad you think so.
I like Starless–a different aspect of summer on that cover. Good job!
Thank you!
Love the cover of Honeymoon for One. Makes me wish I was there right now! 🙂
Heh, I hear you there.
These are all great, but Murder Cuts the Mustard and Shug covers look really intriguing.
I hear you there!
I haven’t read any of these. I’ve seen the top one on a few people’s lists this week.
They definitely make me think of summer!
Have a great week!

Thanks. You, too!
Good call on all of these! 😀
Thank you!
I like the look of The Southern Side of Paradise and Murder Cuts the Mustard, which sounds like a fun read.
Agreed. 🙂
I want to be where that Honeymoon for One cover is! That’s my favorite.
I know, right? It looks amazing for sure.
These are perfect summer feels! I don’t know why ice cream didn’t occur to me at ALL until I saw other people’s picks for this week’s topic.

Thanks. I hope I didn’t give you too much of a craving for ice cream. Hehe.
I have not read any of these either but they do look fun and represent summer well!
Thanks!
I knew I could count on you to locate some very summerish covers/titles. Fun covers. Here is my TTT
Aww, thanks. What a nice thing to say.
Love and Gelato made my list too, no summer without ice cream or gelato right? 🙂
Heh, totally!
Nice list! Shug looks so good, that popsicle on the cover definitely says summer to me.
Thanks, Wendy. Yeah, I really should read Shug, too.
Many of your covers make me want to be on the beach again!
Yay!
I just watched the film version of Love and Gelato on Netflix and it was really cute!
My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2022/07/12/top-ten-tuesday-376/
That’s awesome!
You incorporated a lot of iconic summer themes here. Great job!
My aunt and uncle spent a month in Argentina several years ago. One of their friends is originally from Argentina so they visited his family ranch. They still get a faraway look in their eyes when they talk about the Argentinian cookout they had there. Apparently Argentinians are grill wizards 🙂
Thank you.
Argentina sounds amazing!
Love and Gelato! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that one! I LOVE ice cream! (And I liked the book!)
Ice cream is the best. I really should read that book sometime. Glad you liked it so much.
I’ve heard so much about Love and Gelato! I hope you enjoy these.
Thank you. I hope you like Love and Gelato if you read it.
This is such a great list! All of these covers definitely make me think of summer.
Thank you very much!
All these book covers look so summery especially Love and Gelato!
Thanks. 🙂
Perfect! The ice cream and popsicle covers are my favorites — probably because those are such perfect summer treats!
Agreed. And thanks.
You found a great selection of books with summer vibes!

I read so many summery books, but have not read any of these. I will see if my library has that picture book to read to my grandkids. Great choices Lydia.

Thanks for commenting on my post. Sorry it has taken me a little bit to get back to you. I’ve been exhausted from moving and unpacking. I’m sure you understand.
Love & Gelato has been on my TBR for a few years now. I really need to read it. I love its cover so much! Great choices.

THe Southern side of Paradise,is perfect. I wish i was there.
I hear you there. 🙂
I read one of Jenna’s contemporary novels and thought it was quite cute. I don’t think it was the one you featured though. But I do own it and want to give it a read too. 🙂 Hope you enjoy these if you do read them. Thanks for visiting Finding Wonderland on this week, Lydia. Apologies it took so long to visit here.
I hope you like it!
And no worries. Thanks for stopping by.
The cover for Love and Gelato always reminds me of summer!
