Escape With Summer Reads

It's Time To Curl Up And Relax

If you became a bookworm while staying at home, finding picks for your summer reading list might feel like a bit of a challenge. Regardless of whether you've been keeping up with Reece's Book Club picks or keeping an eye out for other book club recommendations, you still might be stumped on choosing the perfect book with which to lay out on the beach. Luckily, Belle Meade Lifestyle is making it easy to start.

This season, there's really no excuse for being without something good to read — whether indoors or on a socially distanced plot of sand somewhere. 

Whether you're able to make it somewhere near the ocean or you're simply lounging around the house in your PJs, we could all use a page-turner now more than ever. From romances to toss in a bag before a sunny walk, funny reads to take on vacation, and great historical fiction, we've rounded up some of the best new summer reads.
