Fun Summer Reading Challenges and the 2023 Beach Read Hub 22

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know that each year we release an Ultimate Beach Read guide for the summer. Inspired by our annual reading challenge, we’ve also created adult Summer reading challenges!

After 5 years of blogging, we’ve written 5 of those ultimate lists, as well as numerous other summer reading lists.

This is why we wanted to put all the beach read book lists in one place.

Introducing – The 2023 Beach Read Hub!

Below, you will find links and brief descriptions to each of our Ultimate beach reads, pool reads, and beach-set lists. They are laid out in chronological order.

Each time we publish a list that is summer reading-related, we will update the 2023 Beach Read Hub.
