A book in a suitcase takes up space, it’s heavy. For the summer, count on at least two books—one less cute outfit, but... We take two books and pack them in our suitcase! Because we don’t go anywhere without our handpicked selection of stories to devour at our own pace, whether by the sea or the mountains, lounging on a deck chair, a glass of fresh, icy juice within reach...



Summer is, alongside winter, autumn, and spring, THE season for adventures, mysteries, and extraordinary tales that capture your imagination for just a little longer.
Summer gives us the time to truly immerse ourselves in reading.



Just like our spring top list, we’ve crafted a perfect top list for your holiday reads.
Enjoy without moderation—just like everything else on vacation. Don’t be cautious this summer; dive headfirst into the unknown, do amazing things, and most importantly, read at least one of these books!
We wish you amazing readings under the sun!
