23 Curated Book Lists For Summer 2023
Summer reading will never get old. And each summer many people look forward to the ‘best of summer books’ reading lists online and in print. As with?last year and many prior years, I’ve curated a collection of these lists from a variety of publications, libraries, universities, and elsewhere.
The lists cover fiction and nonfiction; some are business and science oriented, but most represent a wide variety of subject matter. Some of the lists contain books published before this year, but most of the titles are recently published. As always, I strive for eclectic lists, including some originally intended for specific audiences, but which I believe have a wider appeal, such as those below from Behavioral Scientist, HR Exchange Network, J.P. Morgan, The Harvard Gazette, University of California, Berkeley, and University of Maryland School of Public Health.
It’s great to see that Literary Hub continues its ‘ultimate summer reading list.’ (They have also published a companion list,?The 28 Novels You Need to Read This Summer.) Once again, Emily Temple, managing editor and author of the 2020 novel?The Lightness, dug deep into best of lists to glean insights about their recommendations. She notes that she examined 35 lists, with 548 books; and presents a list of the most featured authors/books. The top rankings are held by Colson Whitehead,?Crook Manifesto?(14 lists), Ann Patchett,?Tom Lake?(12), and Emma Cline,?The Guest?(11).
The level of creativity in these books (and in many of their magnificent cover designs) is awe-inspiring. The enthusiasm of the recommendations is persuasive, and the lists are an exciting way to discover new books, new authors, and new subjects.
