Fun in the Summer Sun
Summer is the perfect time for outdoor adventures, beach trips, and soaking up the sun. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, enjoying a picnic in the park, or going on a road trip, these books capture the essence of summer escape. From heartwarming romances to thrilling adventures, this booklist has something for everyone looking to make the most of the sunny season.
A River Runs Through It
Now that summer is here, many of us are excitedly heading out into the backcountry to engage in that favorite American pastime: fishing! Never mind the vampiric mosquitoes and questing ticks that diligently patrol our state’s beautiful alpine lakes and rushing rivers—if you’re dripping in insect repellant, you’re good to go. The secret al(lure) of fishing sometimes lies less in catching that “big one” than in spending quiet time in nature while contemplating life’s big questions. So, dust off your fishing pole or fly rod and do just that after checking out some of these titles for inspiration.
I Can’t Believe It’s Not European Fantasy!
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, the fantasy genre is awash with tropes: wise old mentor figures, magic schools, over coming oppression, and of course, the regular person turned Chosen One (who is later revealed to be from a secret royal lineage anyway).
But one of the most common tropes is the vaguely European medieval fantasy, where armored knights bow to lords, wars are conducted on horseback, and slothful monarchs mismanage their kingdoms until the protagonist comes to save the day.
In fact, it’s practically synonymous with the fantasy genre. If you asked a random stranger what “fantasy” is, they’re more likely to describe something like George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) rather than M. L. Wang’s Japan-inspired The Sword of Kaigen, despite both being incredible takes on the fantasy genre.
