I'm building my vacation TBR, and I'm seeming to be gravitated toward sensual, mostly queer, literary fiction, sad romance books. Examples: "Call Me By Your Name," "Giovanni's Room," "Rebecca" (Daphne du Maurier), "Swimming In The Dark" and "Lie With Me."
(i've obviously never read any of these books but am drawn in by their synopsis' and overall vibes)
As well as these novels, I also want a couple trashy-ish but still very interesting thrillers like: The Silent Patient, The House Across The Lake, any Freida McFadden or Lisa Jewell book, etc. They don't necassarily need to be 'good,' just maybe some vacation/summer vibes and a jaw-dropping plot twist.
I understand both of these are pretty different but those are just what I love lol.

The Neapolitan quartet is great for vacation, it’s so gripping (especially when you get past the part where they’re young kids).
Tuesdays in Winter by Lily King is a literary short story collection with some beach vacation settings and a few implied queen romances. Some stories left me thinking long after I closed the book.
