Original caption

Books I’d add to your summer tbr if you wanted something that captures the essence of the season, but isn’t a beachy romcom 🦢📖🌱 (Not bc we don’t love those, just bc sometimes we want something a little more atmospheric, haunting, or nostalgic). Let me know if you’ve read any of this or plan to 💕 #summerbooks #summertbr #summerreading #bookrecs📚 #bookrecommendation
