Today we’re back with the 2024 installment of our popular summer reading roundup.
Members of our team have paired up to talk about our favorite summer reads, what our summer reading experiences have been like, and the titles we can’t stop talking about. Around here we talk books all year round, but episodes like these always help me add a title or three to my own to-be-read list.
As you’ll hear, we read widely around here, so no matter what you love to read, I imagine you’ll hear a title that catches your attention today. We’d love to hear which of today’s titles are on your TBR, or the titles you can’t stop recommending this summer. Leave a comment below to let us know.
Fall merch is here!
A new season is coming up soon, and we’ve just released a fresh and fun collection of merch that’s perfect for fall. We have fun new buttons, new sticker designs, and favorites like our To Be Read tote and our Book Camp sweatshirts, restocked in lots of sizes for fall. See all our merch at modernmrsdarcy.com/shop.
