A RAD Summer Reading Guide for 2023
I’m thrilled about this (it truly became something SO MUCH MORE than I set out to make!). I had a blast reading in preparation, designing the guide, and bringing it all to life for you.
Whether you want to read one book this summer or all 89 included here (IMPRESSIVE!), I hope you find books that are intriguing, interesting, fun, and enjoyable for the long days ahead.
I’ve arranged books mostly by genre, and also included a handful of duologies and series I’ve loved. I noted (as best I could!) BIPOC + LGBTQ+ authors, as I highly value reading widely, deeply, and diversely.
These pages are designed to fit in an A5 journal, so feel free to print, cut on the dotted lines, and paste in your bujo if that’s your style, or just add books to your library list and shopping carts straight from the PDF. If you’re feeling ambitious, or just want to see all the covers in one place, the full array of all 89 picks is at the end, along with a sheet for you to make your game plan.
The full reading guide is available for $5!

highly recommend checking out your local library to see what you can find there, or shopping local and supporting a fave indie bookstore if you’re wanting to buy a copy. if you’re an audiobook fan, here’s a shameless plug for libro.fm, where i’m an affiliate, and get my audiobooks every month (alongside the free libby app connected to my library card!).
