It’s beach read season in the Northern Hemisphere, and not a moment too soon. Readers everywhere are emerging from their cozy dens, shrugging off warm blankets and tucking away thick socks, ready to take their bookish worlds out of doors and into the sun. Mood readers are frantically adjusting their TBR, looking for something as light and airy as the weather. You might be headed to the ocean, to a far-flung all-inclusive resort, or just to the back deck. No matter the destination, it’s time for vacation reading. If you need help selecting the perfect book to slip into your tote bag, check out Book Riot’s Best Beach Reads!

Of course, you’ll need some beachy bookish goods to outfit yourself for the new season. You might be in the market for a book-themed beach towel, a summery sticker to adorn your emotional support water bottle, or a Kindle charm to protect your USB port from the pesky sand. Maybe a beachy bookish new T-shirt will act as a bathing suit cover-up, or perhaps the theme alone will transport you from your living room to the beach trip of your dreams. Read on below to get booked for the summer with these beachy bookish goods!
