The Perfect Summer Bookmarks for Seasonal Vibes
There’s a meme that goes around periodically that validates for a lot of people why summer as a season is not great. As children, summer was often a period of freedom from responsibilities and for making lists of things that you wanted to do (bomb pops from the ice cream truck! Staying up all night to watch the stars! Marathoning a favorite book series in a hammock! Making a huge sandcastle!) But when you become an adult, work and other grown-up responsibilities make completing such a list difficult, if not impossible. What once felt like long weeks full of possibility and wonder collapse into long weeks of wondering how to handle child care, work, bills, and so forth.
But there’s always one light, whether you’re a summer lover or summer hater. It’s literally that: light. The longer days make for the perfect opportunity to find those pockets of time when you can take a break and sink into a good book. Be it ten minutes before you head to work, ten minutes at lunch, or maybe even a whole hour after the kids go to bed, take the opportunity to find a little bonus reading time in the summer with the seasonal treat that is these longer days.
When reality comes back and you’ve got to leave your reading nest? Then you’ll want to have the perfect bookmark at the ready. Why not just lean into the things that make summer so special with these summer bookmarks? We’ve got fruit, flowers, fauna, and more to help keep your place in your latest read.
Ready. Set. It’s summer bookmarks season.
