Why Not Read About Summer?

If you've been following our blog, you've seen Gabrielle's great suggestions for summer reading. But that made me wonder: Do we have many novels that deal with summer as a topic or setting?

A subject search for 'summer fiction' in Catalyst yields a few books, but we find more with the subject term summer resorts fiction. There may be other books about summer that don't have the word 'summer' in the subject. A search for 'summertime' in the title gives us novels, short stories, poetry, and a few titles about staying safe in the summer. (I didn't narrow the search to just fiction.)

Play around with other words that remind you of summer. I also tried the following subject searches:

I'm always surprised at what I can find in Catalyst.

Enjoy what remains of your summer!
