Books I Want to Read This Summer ☀️📚

This summer, I set myself a reading goal that feels completely achievable. I chose books that are light, enjoyable, and not too mentally demanding. With my children on vacation, I know I won’t have much time to read, so I’m focusing on simple, comforting reads.

Majnun and Layla

I wanted to begin the summer with a great classic, and Majnun and Layla immediately came to mind. It’s a novel I once started but never finished, and I feel that summer is the perfect moment to return to it.
It’s a tragic love story that follows the fate of Qais and his cousin Layla, two souls bound by an impossible passion.

L’été de la sorciere

It’s a book that an acquaintance once recommended to me, so I’ve decided to finally read it this summer.
It’s the kind of story you can enjoy both as a teenager and as an adult.
Mai is a young girl sent to spend his vacation with his grandmother, a woman who lives alone deep in the forest.

SMALL STEPS BY LOUIS SACHAR

Small Steps by Louis Sachar is a book I’ve been meaning to read, and I finally decided to pick it up this summer. It’s a simple, engaging story that follows the small but meaningful steps taken by its young protagonist as he tries to rebuild his life.

LE LYS DANS LA VALLEE

The Lily of the Valley is one of Balzac’s most delicate novels, a story of pure yet impossible love between Félix and Madame de Mortsauf. A quiet, emotional tale, told with restraint and tenderness.

SiddharthaNovel by Hermann Hess

Siddhartha is a contemplative novel by Hermann Hesse, following a young man’s spiritual journey toward inner peace and self‑understanding. A quiet, luminous story that explores the search for meaning, wisdom, and harmony.It’s a book I’m truly excited to dive into

BARTLEBY THE SCRIVENER

Bartleby, the Scrivener is a short novel I chose for the days when I don’t really feel like reading. Its brevity and quiet, peculiar atmosphere make it perfect for slow, low‑energy moments.

THE BUSINESSES PROPOSAL

It’s a graphic novel, and A Business Proposal is a light, charming romance I picked for days when I want something fun and easy to read. It’s playful, quick, and perfect for a relaxed summer mood.
