You're listening to all the backlist, a weekly show about books that are not new.

I'm your host, Danick Ellis. This is episode number 475.5, and today I'm recommending a couple of sappic romances to read before the end of the summer.

I can't believe that we're already looking at the end of the summer coming up got a few weeks left, but I feel like

It really got away from me. I wanted to do more summery things. I wanted to go camping. But here you have to book camping in like March so I think I might have missed my chance. People like camping too much where I live and I'm not organized enough to do it. But I am going to go to the beach. That's one of my must-does of the summer and it's a little embarrassing that I haven't had a beach day yet because I live

on an island and really there are beaches in every direction I could walk so I really have no excuse for not getting some good beach time in so far this summer.

Last year I booked a whole day off just to go to the beach and really take it in and I had such a great time.

I looked for sea glass, did a little swimming, obviously did some be reading and just felt like I was really taking advantage of the

beautiful weather and the beautiful place that I live and one of the books that I read on that beach day is one I will be

recommending today because if you too are wanting to make sure that you get the best out of your

summer that you're really making the most of it in these last weeks, I definitely think summer reading is a great way to do that,

especially if you can make it to the beach, but that's not a necessity. I feel like I

really nailed the book selection last time it was such a fun read, light read, romantic,

steamy, just the perfect thing for reading on the beach.

So now I feel like there's a lot of pressure

of what book I'm gonna bring this time, or books,

obviously, I'm not gonna bring just one.

So I've been giving that a lot of thought but I don't know if I can live up to that original pick.

But before we get into it I want to talk about the book write newsletter better living through books.
