Ah, summer.
Bookworms across America are filling tote bags and suitcases with their summer reads. Our new books’ shiny covers are ready to wink in the sunlight on long, lazy Saturdays spent at the beach, at parks, or any other venue that is a bit closer to mother nature.
To celebrate this wonderful time in a reader’s yearly calendar, we collected the most amazing outdoor reading spots on the planet. There’s something here for everyone–mountains, beaches, backyards, and even balconies.
So what are you waiting for? Pack your sunblock and hop to it!
