96. Must-read books of the summer paired with beach-worthy backlist titles

<p>It’s that time of year, readers! Pull out your favorite book tote and get thee to pre-ordering (or library requesting) because we’ve got an episode full of our most anticipated reads for summer 2022. Since we can’t help ourselves, we’ve paired each buzzy new title with a backlist pick. We’re also talking about summer reading hopes (not goals), our favorite summertime genres, and what’s happening in Classics Club this season. </p> <p>If you’re enjoying our content, please write a review on Apple Podcasts, share an episode with a friend, or shout us out on social media.
