Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the lovely Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new theme is suggested for bloggers to participate in. This week’s prompt is Book Covers That Feel Like Summer (Submitted by Ellie @ Curiosity Killed the Bookworm).
Hello Readers! When I saw this week’s prompt, I realized I hadn’t looked very far ahead when I did my twist three weeks ago, Books That Exude Summer. Oops. But then I noticed this week specifically said “covers”, which made me more excited. I also felt like I’d done something similar before so I did a quick search and discovered we did a Top Ten Tuesday Books That Give Off Summer Vibes in 2020, which is still not specifically covers. Determined NOT to repeat any of the books I shared in either post, I decided to focus on books from my TBR only AND books that involve my favorite summer activity: traveling!
Not too surprising, all my picks are either Romance or Young Adult. Let’s see what I chose!
(Link to Goodreads synopsis through book title.)
- A Thousand Miles by Bridget Morrissey – After a decade of not speaking, two ex friends reunite for a road trip they promised to take in this YA romance.
- Places We’ve Never Been by Kasie West – Two families plan an RV adventure, reuniting childhood friends Norah and Skyler in this YA romance.
- The Summer Seekers by Sarah Morgan – This romance about three different women at three different stages of life driving across the country sounds delightful!
- The Mother Road by Meghan Quinn – Romance about an adult brother and sister road tripping with their father and the brother’s best friend.
- Where the Road Leads Us by Robin Reul – Classmates embark on a road trip adventure the summer before college in this YA romance.
- The Layover by Lacie Waldon – A flight attendant takes one last trip before she hangs up her wings in this romance.
- In the Same Boat by Holly Green – A YA river canoeing adventure set in Texas.
- Sunkissed by Kasie West – A YA romance set at a remote family camp for the summer.
- Golden Boys (Golden Boys, #1) by Phil Stamper – A YA summer friendship story about four queer boys with big plans and dreams.
- Now a Major Motion Picture by Cory McCarthy – A YA romance set in Ireland on a film set.

Happy Wandering!
These covers are BEAUTIFUL. Haven’t read any of them but these covers make me want to.
Thank you Merline! I’m a sucker for a great cover. 😉
Where the Road Leads Us has an amazing cover!
Hope your summer is fantastic and you get a chance to relax, unwind and, of course, read! This is my list of summery covers!
Yes! I have to admit, it was the cover that caught my attention and made me take a closer look. 🙂 Happy summer reading to you, too!
Lovely summery covers. They all sound interesting! I sometimes have to be careful about repeating. The number of times I’ve gone to put a post up and the books from the last week’s prompt also fit into the current one!
Have a great week!

Yes! It gets very tricky to avoid repeats. Sometimes it’s unavoidable, but I try. 😉 Happy reading!
Yeah and also different people see the posts so if they don’t see it on one they will see it on the other 🤣
Great twist in topic, Dedra! These covers give me that perfectly summer wanderlust feeling. I can’t wait to read A Thousand Miles, Places We’ve Never Been and The Mother Road (I love MQ)! 😍
Thanks Dini! Meghan Quinn is a new discovery for me and I’m so happy I finally gave her a try!
The cover of Places We’ve Never Been is so cute. It’s been a long time since I’ve read anything by Kasie West.
Yes! It’s been years since I read a book by her, but I always enjoy them. Plus I can’t resist a road trip romance. 😉
Great choices! The Summer Seekers has such a great, bright cover!
Yes! I’ve never read a book by Morgan, but I’m eager to give her a try!
These are great! I particularly like the cover for The Layover. I would love to be there right now, with a cold fruity drink that has a paper umbrella in it. 😉

Yes! Same! I just recently had a piña colada for the first time in a long time, and it was so yummy. I don’t know why I don’t drink them more often. 😃
I love that your favorite summer activity is traveling! It’s mine too. And I love these traveling book covers.
Yay!! Not traveling the past few years has been so hard. We’ve finally started taking a few trips but staying closer to home, and it’s been so nice to get back out there. It’s so good for the soul. 🥰
I love all these covers. I hope you are traveling for real this summer. and not just armchair. I think Summer Seekers was one of my favourites.
We are! We just returned from a quick beach trip with extended family, the first we’ve been able to take with them since before the pandemic, and it was so nice! Not long enough, but still nice. 😃 I’m pretty sure I added Summer Seekers after seeing your review! It sounds so cute!
Since I read seven of these, I will applaud your list, and the fact that it includes In The Same Boat has me bursting with joy. That book was so good and not talked about enough
Seven!! Yay!! I bet I added In the Same Boat after seeing you share it. 🙂
