I have finally got around to making my summer reading list! Now that I have my beloved Kindle I am making it a point to read everyday, always making sure I have it in my bag. I have curated a list of recommendations from friends, or authors that I already love and want to read more off. It’s a mixture of novels, and non fiction so I hope there is something for everyone. So grab a spot in the park, slap on some sunscreen, and let’s dive into these literary gems together!
This is actually the first book I have started from this list. It’s a memoir by the founder of Patagonia, blending his love for surfing with lessons on sustainable business practices. I am already loving this book and his perspective on business.
Let My People Go Surfing by Yvon Chouinard
This is my kind of book, a perfect read for anyone who cherishes their cozy, introverted side. A collection of essays that celebrates the joys of staying in and finding comfort in our own spaces. Exploring the pleasures of solitude, self-care, and creating a sanctuary that feels like home.

My friend told me that this book had her laughing out loud so I had to get it.

Set in 1950s America, it follows the lives of a diverse group of characters as they navigate relationships, desires, and societal pressures.

I always love to throw a few non fiction books in the mix and I’ve heard amazing things about Bell Hooks. This book challenges conventional ideas about love and offers a vision of love as a radical force for social change.
