Booking Trough Thursday: The Books of Summer

July 23, 2026

—

Welcome to Booking Through Thursday, a weekly bookish meme about books and reading for everyone who loves both. Booking Through Thursday was first hosted by Deb and is now hosted by Charity from Writing Wrongs!

This Week’s Prompt:

Those big books of summer, the ones you see everywhere. Have any caught your eye this year? Have you read any of them? If so, did the book live up to the hype? If you have a recommendation, be sure to let us know.

♦♦♦

I have not read a single one of these but they have all caught my eye in some way, shape or form 🙂 If anyone has read any of these, feel free to let me know what you thought of them!

What Summer books have caught YOUR eye?

Oh, these all look great. I haven’t read The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI, but I’ve heard Cory talk about it and I do plan to read it at some point. And I think I have The Heirs on the library waitlist (but I’ll have to double check). Thanks for playing!

  The cover for The Reverse Centaur’s Guide is what initially drew me in lol. I am not one for nonfiction typically, but the whole AI thing I find extremely interesting.
  Thanks for stopping by!

● About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 29 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
