Summer is just around the corner, and for many of us, it’s a time for vacations or a break from school. For others, it’s a great time to read!!! Summer reading was what ignited my passion for writing, and as many of you know, my novel Starganauts is coming out June 19th! You can pre-order it here. While I’ve enjoyed sharing updates and highlights with you, today’s post will be focusing on others’ works.
Below are eight novels by fellow Christian authors that make fantastic summer reading! Not only are all of them highly-rated, but I’ve met most of these authors through social media and had the pleasure of learning about their wonderful books. There’s sci-fi, historical fantasy, and everything in-between. So, without further ado, here are 8 great summer reads!
