Top Ten Books on My Summer TBR
HUZZAH FOR SUMMER READING! I always loved summer reading when I was in school, so now you know just what kind of nerd you’re dealing with here. But even though my taste in books has changed from “required reading plus lots of adult books” to mostly YA, I still love reading while I’m sitting outside, or on the beach, or just enjoying the long days and warm weather. I didn’t have a chance to write about these individual books this week–alas! I’ll try and update this post tomorrow–but I’ve got a mix of books coming out this summer and books that are already out. I CAN CONQUER THIS LIST!
What books are you guys looking forward to this summer??
Duh, awesome MG about summer vacations and sisters and family and adventures. I love this series HARD. It’s just so dang adorable. The third book in this series is set at the beach in Maine, so it’s a great choice for beach reading!
Road trip with swoons? I will always sign up for this. I’ve read this book so many times, friends, and it’s always just the perfect book for me, and perfect for the beach!
More swoons! Except in Paris, instead of on US highways. I love the complicated but incredibly lovely relationship between Anna and Etienne. It never loses its appeal, and I never lose my butterflies.
When I’m at the beach, I don’t want to be held down by a heavy book with lots of details to remember. I’m too busy taking dips into the water or walks along the shoreline or people watching. But I also want to be entertained, and this book is just that times infinity.
Historical romances FTW of beach reading! I love lots of books in this genre, but the first one I read was this one and I’ve got a soft spot for it. It’s incredibly fun. Really any of these books would be excellent at the beach.
YAASSSSSSS. I know this book isn’t technically out until September, but I was so lucky to be able to grab a copy at BEA this year and I’m dying to read it. I’d probably get a bad burn reading this book because I wouldn’t be paying attention to anything, like reapplying my sunscreen or the hot sting of sunburn.
Ever since I finished THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE, I’ve been beside myself with anticipation for Jandy Nelson’s next book. Another one that I was able to pick up at BEA that I can barely keep myself from picking up RIGHT THIS INSTANT.
Two Stephanie Perkins books! The lady knows how to do romance, what can I say. I’m salivating for this one. LITERALLY wiping drool from my mouth. I can’t wait for August so that I can clear my calendar, sit out in the sun, and devour it.
