This week on Underlined & Annotated, I'm sharing my favorite summer reading recommendations - the kind of books that feel perfect for long sunny days, road trips, beach bags, and slow evenings outside. I'm talking everything from light, escapist beach reads to emotional page turners and a few slightly darker or twisty books for readers who don't want to stick strictly to "summery" vibes. 

We'll break down what makes a great summer read, swap personal favorites, and highlight books that are easy to get lost in when you want something addictive but not too heavy. Whether you're in the mood for romance, mystery, contemporary fiction, or something a little unexpected, this episode is your next TBR starter pack for the season.
