Welcome to Our Summer Reading Series ☀️📚
Summer reading season is officially here.
Whether you're headed to the beach, lounging by the pool, traveling somewhere new, or simply enjoying a quiet moment on the porch with a cold drink and a good book, we're sharing some of our favorite recommendations all summer long.
Rather than giving you one giant list, we're breaking our summer TBR into a series of themed reading guides—because not every reader is looking for the same kind of escape.
Some of us want romance. Some want suspense. Some want stories that make us think, dream, travel, or see the world a little differently.
So grab your favorite bookmark and join us as we explore a different corner of the reading world each week.

For Readers Who Love "Just One More Chapter"
We've all been there.
You promise yourself you'll read for thirty minutes, and suddenly it's midnight and you're still trying to figure out who did it.
If your ideal beach read includes twists, secrets, unreliable narrators, and stories you simply can't put down, these books belong in your summer reading stack.
Perhaps your ideal beach read comes with a side of suspense.

If you love staying up past bedtime because you simply have to know what happens next, these belong on your list:
- The Storm by Rachel Hawkins (a past Craft'n Pages box experience!)
-
Seven Reasons to Murder Your Dinner Guests by KJ Whittle (a past Craft'n Pages box experience!)
