Summer 2021 Reading Bucket List // April 10 Things

Blanket: Chappywrap // Bracelet Stack: Bowood Lane Jewelry

To me, summer means endless days by bodies of water, fresh fruit on the front porch, and a stack of good books to help pass the time! Getting a head start on this summer by pulling together a list of the most anticipated books of the year. So for this month’s 10 things, I’m sharing the books I hope I’ll finish before the end of Daylight Savings Time and the crisp air of fall sneaks up on us all.

Leave me a comment if you end up reading one of these books this summer. Would love to know what you think!

No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood

Nadia Owusu grew up all over the world—from Rome and London to Dar-es-Salaam and Kampala.
