From Beach Reads to Literary Prizes: Summer 2024 in Books

This summer I read 22 books, and I'm giving them tiny quick book reviews for you in my seasonal reading wrap up. I read The Booker Prize Long List, some romance, some fantasy, and possibly even some romantasy, if i can work out what that is. Enjoy!
