This list is just a part of a great conversation that we are excited for y’all to join. Summer reading can be a great escape it can also be a great point of entry to broaden our worlds and perspectives. But damn if it doesn’t have some of the best writers, who’ll make you want to stay rooted in and rooting for this place we call home. Some of the books on the list, which include novels, essay collections, nonfiction, short stories, and YA fantasy, are set in the South, while others are by writers who were born in or forever formed by this region.Īlthough we’ve got some delightful and inspiring books on this list, the South isn’t always an easy breezy place. It was hard to whittle down all the amazing suggestions we got! Thanks so much to everyone who wrote in, and to all the writers and creators of books. We wanted to know the books from 2020 and early 2021 that they would urge their friends and family to read. What books should every Bitter Southerner read? This year we tossed this question to our Bitter Southerner members and to some of our editorial staff and contributors.
