Growing up, you couldn’t wait to make a dent in your summer reading for school. It was a fun challenge to check off every book, and now, you're in charge of your own reading list. Showcase your choices by posting some pics paired with these Instagram captions for summer reading. By sharing a cute reading selfie or artsy snap of your book and iced matcha, you may even inspire your friends to join you on your very own summer reading adventure.

After all, the first thing you want to do after reading a good book is spill the tea with someone else who has read it. By posting what you’re reading, you’re inviting a conversation to happen. Start a book exchange within your crew. Let your friends know that you're willing to trade whatever you're reading for something off of their shelf. That way, a cute selfie of you hanging out in the backyard and reading will not only get you a ton of likes on the 'Gram, but also more books on your summer reading list.

Plan a day of lounging on your favorite pool float or make a super cozy reading nook inside, and dive headfirst into some books. Since you'll be lost in the stories, use these 45 summer reading captions to make posting easier.
