I don't have enough room to include this on my general challenge posting, so am doing it here, if that's okay. :)

K.L. Middleton (theunapologeticbookworm) | 813 comments If anyone is looking for a series that will help them complete multiple Summer Reading Challenge prompts, I highly recommend the Tiki Goddess Mysteries by Jill Marie Landis.

There are five books in the series, and they are fast-paced, hilarious reads. Not only do all of the books have a cocktail of some kind on the cover, but they take place on the island of Kauai (an amazing vacation destination) and could definitely be considered "beach reads." The first book, Mai Tai One On, also has a pair of sunglasses on the cover.

Heather L  (wordtrix) | 780 comments My goal was to do at least half. So far I’ve managed 12/20.

Machell | 8 comments I had not decided if I would do the summer challenge or not, but since I only have 1 book left for the regular 2020 challenge, I'm going to do the summer one too! So many books I've just read fit the prompts, so I don't think I'll be too far behind. I'll give myself until 9-22 like many others...Looking forward to seeing what everyone else had read!
