I have summer break coming up and that means time for lots and lots of reading. What books do I recommend if you are looking for something fun to read this summer? I made a little list of 10 books that I think make for great summer reads. So let me share with you my whimsical, romance and detective picks because that is what I tend to go for most. These are the best summer books.

I have a nice list of books for you. I tend to be a bit of a mood reader and I normally opt for dark, dreary things. I mean if it doesn’t have a gloomy setting or a haunted house I will not usually read it. But in summer that changes. I go for lighter fare, opt for romance books and cozy mystery stories. Throw in some whimsical things and you have my perfect summer reading list.
