Summer is coming, and you know what that means – beach days (or days spent inside with the AC blasting, no judgment) with your favorite books. Today, Nora and friend of the pod and special guest Kate Baer get together to give you the Ultimate Summer Reading List for 2026, including Lena Dunham’s new memoir, a creepy novel that’s like if the Hunger Games and Love Island had a baby, and many more (seriously, you may not even get through all these recs this summer). If you’ve been craving a library summer reading challenge, look no further – we’ve got it for you. Open up your Libby app or your cart, babe, and get reading! Watch us on YouTube here!
