11. Summer Reading Preview including fast-paced classics, classic YA, and epic adventures for every staycation mood

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today Chelsey and Sara are sharing the lineup for Novel Pairings’ summer season. We discuss what makes a great summer read, different readerly tastes in summer books, and then reveal the six classics we’ll be reading and discussing in June, July, and August. The books include a southern literature classic, a class work of young adult fiction, and several epic adventures. All of the books were chosen to suit a variety summer reading moods and to be perfect pairings for the contemporary books we love to read in the summer.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To shop all of the books in the summer lineup visit our Bookshop storefront:</span> <a href= "https://bookshop.org/shop/novelpairings"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://bookshop.org/shop/novelpairings</span></a></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SPOILERS AHEAD</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scroll down for time stamps and links to our six summer classics:</span></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9780312316167"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[6:21]</span></p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9780142437278"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Passing by Nella Larsen</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">[8:06]</span></p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9780393356250"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Odyssey by Homer</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">[9:51]</span></p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9780061120060"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">[11:24]</span></p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9780385420174"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">[13:17]</span></p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9780547928210"><span style= "font-weight:
