Summer Reading Guide

UNBOXING

Our Summer Reading Guide Unboxing is an annual tradition here in the Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club. This is a member favorite so come share in the excitement with people who love books as much as you do!

Join me as I unveil the 2022
Summer Reading Guide selections

It’s about to be the most wonderful time of the year! Around here we look forward to summer reading season with great anticipation—and we kick off the season with a big book party to celebrate the release of our annual Summer Reading Guide. 

I’ve read dozens of books to vet splashy new releases and uncover hidden gems, and I can’t wait to share this year’s titles with you at our one-of-a-kind live event. 

In this ninety-minute live video session, I reveal every title in the guide one by one, sharing why I chose it and why it might be perfect for YOU. Our conversation is casual and unscripted, filled with real talk about great books, in the presence of people who love books and reading.

Unboxing day is like the best parts of a surprise party and your book club meeting. Our members count down the days, clear their calendars, and sharpen pencils. (Some even take the day off work so they can both enjoy the fun and know they’ll be the first to put in their library requests!)

Join now for our Unboxing event—and then spend your summer with us reading, discussing, learning, and enjoying the company of avid readers just like you.

"Finding the Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club community has revitalized the love of reading that I was afraid I had lost. It feels so great to be back to soaking up that reading life!"

"There’s something a little magic about Anne’s format and emceeing."

Author chats are a Book Club highlight!

Each month we read one title together in Book Club, and I couldn’t be more excited about our summer selections. We’ll discuss these conversation-starting books this season—and chat with each author at the end of the month. 

  • May: So Many Beginnings (chat with Bethany Morrow on May 24)
  • June: Bomb Shelter (chat with Mary Laura Philpott on June 29)
  • July: Lessons in Chemistry (chat with Bonnie Garmus on July 29)
  • August: The Cartographers (chat with Peng Shepherd on August 25) 

"I love the intimate-chat feeling of our author talks."

WE LOVE READING AS MUCH AS YOU DO.
