Are you planning a summer vacation and don’t know what book to pack? Check out a new summer read from Cole Public Library to take on travels.

In search of a classic beach-read romance? Then stow away the sun-soaked, lakeside love of Carley Fortune’s Our Perfect Storm or the heart-wrenching slow burn of The Night We Met by Abby Jimenez.

If something funny is more your speed, you can’t go wrong with Emma Straub bighearted ‘90s nostalgic romp American Fantasy or Courtney Maum’s back-tonature satire Alan Opts Out.

Perhaps you’re hoping to travel back in time? Look no further than The Island Club by Nicola Harrison set in 1956 on an island off California or Liar’s Dice by Juliet Faithfull set in 1970s Brazil. Both historical fictions feature warm weather, harmful societal expectations, and the bonds of female friendship.

Or maybe you’ve booked a cabin in the woods or a haunted hotel and need something spooky to set the mood? Check out Melissa Albert’s haunting gothic fantasy, The Children, or the dark and gruesome crime horror Headlights by C.J. Leede.

Regardless of what you’re looking for, Cole Public Library has the perfect novel for your carry-on.
