10 Books About Running to Add to Your TBR Pile

"The Break-Up Pact" ($16, originally $18)

Romance books are filled with satisfying tropes, and Emma Lord's novel "The Break-Up Pact" is no different. In this fun read, two childhood best friends, who've been estranged for 10 years, pretend they're a couple after their own humiliating breakups become the talk of the internet.

June and Levi are both struggling to emerge from their respective ruts: June wants to save her beachside tea shop and Levi wants to make his ex jealous. I'm sure you can guess that they catch real feelings for each other. As for why this made the list for books about running? Both June and Levi are dedicated runners (they met on their high school cross country team), and they reconnected while on a jog.
