Book Swim is a great service that allows readers to save time and money, but still read all of the best books as fast or as slow as they wish to read them. Think of it like a Netflix, but with a chance to save some much needed brain cells

In conjunction with our Ultimate Summer Buying Guide, we created the following list of excellent Summer Reading options. While we haven’t read most of these (yet) they are all on our Must Read List! Check it out and let us know what you’re going to be reading this summer!

Getting the Pretty Back by Molly Ringwald makes the perfect gift for any female that is more familiar with frump than she should be. Being pretty is a state of mind, not a number, and Ringwald seeks to help you find your pretty! This is a charming read and it comes highly recommended.

Cum Laude by Cecily von Ziegesar ends up feelings like a hollower, slower version of Gossip Girl for an older audience. Fans of GG won’t have much to love about Cum Laude. Fans of the guilty pleasure, college novel will probably feel as if they want a little more, too.

The Prince of Mist by Carlos Ruiz Zafón is missing something that truly would make this book remarkable. This Young Adult novel by Carlos Ruiz Zafón is still a great read, and most people, young and old, will enjoy it, but I can’t help but feel something got lost in the translation into English.

Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi is one of the best books I’ve read all year. Despite being a YA novel, I would highly recommend this to anyone that loves a thrilling read that builds with the turn of every page. Ship Breaker is a fantastic read and one you should definitely check out!

I Love You, Little Pumpkin by Sandra Magsamen is an adorable book that moms will love sharing with their babies. This Halloween themed book includes bright colors and an interactive, lift the flap design that allows kids to get involved when you read.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future By Michael J. Fox proves to be a charming and entertaining read. Littered with stories and lessons from Fox’s life, this book offers something for everyone. It is enjoyable, short, and warm. All that being said, it’s also highly recommended.
