Summer Reading List 2025

 

🔥 Campfire Conversations

As the sun sets and stories come to life beneath the stars, let the books you read spark something more: connection. Each tale—from forest creature fables to interplanetary adventures and dragon-led revolutions—offers a starting point for conversations that can ignite wonder, reflection, and laughter across generations.

Pull up a log, pass the marshmallows, and dive into questions like:

Which character surprised you the most—and why?

What choice would you have made in their place?

Where did the story touch your own life?

What does it mean to stand up for something, or someone?

This summer, let reading be more than a solo journey. Let it become a shared adventure—one that spans ages, perspectives, and the space between hearts. Around the fire, with one author’s voice as your guide, discover how stories can bring families together in ways that last long after the last page is turned.
