As I do each year, I have listed here my favorites for the first six months of the year so you can easily find them to take to the beach. Like last year, 2023 was light on 5-star books, but there are more 4.5-star choice to enjoy.

I will post another list of those I am reading this summer – who knows if they are going to be good or not…happy summer, everyone!

4.5-star
My Oxford Year
The Golden Spoon
