Somehow it has been six years since I started my Summer Kickoff Feature! It's one of my favorite things to plan each year. Last year I decided to feature my beach read picks all summer long instead of only during the month of May and that worked out well, so I am going to do that again this year. You will know I'll be featuring a beach read if you see my Summer Kickoff header at the top of the review!
Of course, I'll also be hosting some great giveaways and sharing some fun beachy posts, too. I absolutely love this time of the year! For me, there is nothing better than reading at the beach.
Here are some of the books I plan on featuring and/or reviewing during my Summer Kickoff Feature. I always add in some last minute choices as well, but here's a rough idea:

The Forever Summer by Jamie Brenner

If you want to check out the other books that I featured in years past, you can find them here. What are you looking forward to reading this summer?
Happy Reading!
I love this feature! So many books here that I want to read. I am looking forward to reading on the beach for the first time ever later this week and I might pick some of these that I have ARCs for like Purple Hearts or The Names They Gave Us. I have Romancing the Throne as well but some of the reviews I've seen make me worry that I won't like it as much as The Royal We.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read your reviews of all of these!
