You don’t really want to hear me wax poetic right now about the Summer Reading Guide. You just want to read the Summer Reading Guide and you know what, I get it.
After all, she’s some of my best work yet.
My summer reading is all over the place, and as such, this guide has 60 pages of recs for pretty much every genre and mood. I rounded up June/July/August releases, picked some books for celebs (Stanley Tucci, pls call me), and reviewed plenty of 2024’s buzziest (or soon-to-be buzzy) romances.
I say this quite literally every time I pour my heart and soul into a project like this, but this was one of the most fun and rewarding things I’ve ever made. I’ve been teasing this guide quite a bit over on Instagram and all of your kind messages and excitement made the process of toiling away on InDesign SO worth it. I love nerding out over graphic design or while doodling away on my iPad, and as such, this guide plays with layout and design in a way I’ve never attempted before. I hope y’all love how it turned out as much as I do.
The “Read” button up there will take you to a very fun digital magazine (the page flip NOISE! I almost cried, it’s so good), while the printable PDF version is uploaded to a Google Drive. I still can’t believe some of y’all print these behemoths out, but it’s SO stinking cool that you do.
If you spot any errors, ugh please don’t tell me. I’m sure there are typos, even though I’ve read this thing 400 times.
ANYWAY, all of your support and kindness makes projects like these possible. I talk a lot (especially about books), but I don’t have the words to say how truly grateful I am for each and every one of you.
Ttyl, I’m off to read and lay by the pool and drink rosé and wear cute dresses—we have now reached summer Maddie.
This is truly incredible—I added so many books to my TBR after flipping through this!
Wow, this is incredible. I got lots of ideas for my Summer TBT. Thank you!
