This post may contain affiliate links that earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. This summer, all I am in the mood for is engaging storylines and buzzy titles from authors I know and love. Ugly dogs. Husband hustles. Librarians. GUP-isms. If you are looking for something to read – full of romance, suspense, and humor – these are my favorite summer books of 2024 (published in 2024!) so far.
