Wordery for the best Summer reads 2024.
I think we can safely say Summer is here with all the hot weather in London.
Many of us will be preparing for our holidays and gathering up the best Summer read recommendations.
For this post, I decided to ask my husband for his recommendations, as he is an avid reader and has likely gone through some of the best literary fiction around.
He orders most of his books online from Wordery, and I am pleased to say you can get Wordery discount vouchers at Latest Deals.
I must admit, I tend to go for light hearted easier reads, different to the books my husband selects that explores themes of history, relationships, race and emotions.
In fact, you can find books of all genres and themes at Wordery.
Below are 8 of his recommended fiction books in my new modular shelving. I’ve tried to summarise briefly in my own words what he has told me about each book.
