After yesterday's long post, I am keeping things short and easy today. I want to point you to LitHub's Summer Reading coverage, and it is for a few reasons.
First, I love that the highly "literary" online magazine prioritizes Summer Reading as a thing. Many literary publications wouldn't touch the whole Summer Reading thing with a ten foot pole because of its "beach reads" stereotype. But in reality, every type of reader has been shown to make more time for reading in the summer, so why not capture your demographic whoever you are. Love it!
Second, they start with "must read" lists for fiction and nonfiction and then will continue to post more content throughout the summer. You can use those links to get the holds and pre-orders ready now and follow the coverage all summer long.
And finally third, because this is my blog where you all know wha I value....resources that make the backlist easy to access. Because a summer read last year, or the year before, or the year before that (you get the idea) is still a great summer read this year. As long as someone hasn't read it already, it's a summer read still. And LitHub's Summer Reading coverage is all available with this one link, newest books first, but an easy scroll for older titles, titles that will 100% be on the shelf.
