Summer New Releases

[close] Each month a theme will be set with a suggested book for each age group (adult, young adult, 8-12 years, young children). You do not have to stick to your age group, it's just to provide a little something for everyone. Some months adult themes may be included, there will be a warning given prior if this is the case. If you add a book to the tbr please let a moderator know the key themes, genres and age range that it falls under.

[close] I'd like some advice on a good summer read but I'm quite specific. I'm from Corsica and live in North London for 5 years. I'm going back to Corsica for a month or two and would like to read books following those three categories. 1 - Something quite like Fitzgerald's Tender is the night - Pre-WW2 foreigners spending time in elegant and luxurious surroundings by the sea. 1 - Something quite like Brideshead Revisited. I'm too hot in Corsica and misses the UK. Books set during summer spent in Victorian houses, in parks and ponds more than by the sea, in which everyone dresses in white and enjoys drinking before dinner. 3 - Something quite like Rum Diary. A much warmer summer with heavy drinking. The characters are so hot they drink to forget and go swimming. You can feel inspired to do the same.
