It’s almost summer, which means it is time to get out and read (get in and read?), at least in Texas. The summer is too hot to be outdoors for long, which is why I love reading during the hot, summer months.

I’ve collected a list of 11 fun summer reads perfect for moms over at The Koala Bear Writer where you can find selections in a wide variety of genres!

Here’s a sneak-peak of the list:

Of course, being honest, few mothers have time for many “heavy” reads during the summer, which is why all the books on this list are easy and manageable! I’ve divided my recommendations into genres so everyone can select their favorite.

Contemporary Fiction

All of these contemporary novels offer something a little different for the reader, but none of them are too heavy for a summer read.

What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty

This book focuses on the amnesia of the main character. It takes a look at what could happen if you forget a period of your life—for Alice, the 10 years between age 28 and age 38. This story is clean, fun, and ends happily, which is what I like in a summer read.

 Go read the rest at Bonnie’s site!

Happy reading, everyone!
