Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish where we make lists of bookish things!
These aren't "beachy" books. I just got into contemporary this year so honestly I haven't read a lot of light, summer reads. And it still isn't my favorite genre so I didn't have enough to compile a list of true "summery" reads. So I'm just going to share some books that I'm planning on reading this summer than I'm super excited about. And hopefully I'll be reading lots of these on the beach!
There you have it! I'm going to attempt to catch up a bit on my TBR this summer...
What books are you bringing to the beach with you? What are some great summer reads that I should be reading?
You have quite a few promising and swoony books ahead of you! I can personally vouch for My Life Next Door (Jase!), Obsidian (Daemon! But, warning: the good stuff doesn't come until book 2), and Pushing the Limits (Noah! But my favorite is Ryan, book #2). :)
ReplyDeleteI know! I'm super excited about all of them! :) I've heard some very swoony things about Daemon. And Noah. and Jase. I am so ready to meet these swoony boys! Lol
Delete*claps hands excitedly* JLA, JLA, JLA! Lol. I am going to binge read the Covenant series myself this summer! I loved Lux, so I hope you do too. I've got MLND coming with me to the beach today. I'm really excited to meet Jase. I really want to read Morgan's Second Chance Summer too! I'm bringing Since You've Been Gone with me. And finally McGarry boys! I'm with Danielle, Ryan is my favorite too! Great list Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteLol I am very excited to binge read her books. So far so good with her! :) I can't wait to meet these amazing boys everyone keeps talking about! Between JLA and McGarry boys, I am in for one swoony summer. :)
DeleteYay, so glad you're going to read the Lux series and the Covenant series!!!! They are sooooo good (not to set your expectations too high or anything). Game of Thrones, I still need to read that. I've heard the first book follows the TV show, but after that, the books and the show diverge. And yes, My Life Next Door…Jase! Shadow and Bone…love that series too. I may reread the first two before the second one comes out so let me know if you're going to read it in the next couple of weeks and maybe we can read it together! Let's Get Lost…I need to add that one to my TBR list, I love road trip books. So many great books to read! ~Pam
ReplyDeleteWe definitely have to read GOT together. I may be starting it soon so I'll shoot you an email. I am waiting to read Shadow and Bone until the third one comes out so I can just binge read the series. So. Many. Books. After BEA I'm quite overwhelmed.
DeleteI love Shadow and Bone! I hope you like Game of Thrones. I love the TV show but I definitely feel the books are better.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I've heard. The books are always better aren't they. ;)
DeleteGreat list! I love A Game of Thrones and Shadow in Bone, enjoy! I'm reading Hexed right now. The main character is definitely different than your usual MC, though I'm not sure I would call her snarky. Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCassi @ My Thoughts Literally
Oooh I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Hexed!
DeleteYAY ALL THE JLA READS! Seriously, I know we had to yell "I love seth" buuuuut I never ever liked Seth in the covenant series. (until later, so yes, I still am super excited for the return) (also don't tell betty because seth is her cuddle bunny) AIDEN was my love. god. i need to reread that series sometime. and daemon. oh my god. there are no words. you'll love him. Jase is amazing too! I also want to read second chance summer!! Noah was actually prob my fave out of the mcgarry boys. I think. it's so hard to choose! and umm shadow and bone?? i didn't know you hadn't read it! you'll love it!!!
ReplyDeleteLol I was all "I don't even know who Seth is...." Also, I still need to go on her FB page and watch the video. We should totally read Second Chance Summer together. For moral support. Yeah, I'm a failure and haven't read S&B. Lol. I'm going to wait for the third one now and just binge read the whole series.
DeleteAwesome picks! I absolutely loved Obsidian though I still have to read the rest of the series. Hopefully I'll be able to buy the books soon and finally binge read them all. Let's Get Lost sounds so good and I absolutely love the cover!
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Hooray for binge reading! I know, the cover of Let's Get Lost is fabulous! Were you at BEA? They had an awesome car there that was all decked out in a Let's Get Lost theme! It was awesome. I'll post a picture soon.
DeleteA Song of Ice and Fire is fantastic!! Be careful not to get burned trying to read the whole chunky thing outside :D
ReplyDeletehahahaha thanks for the warning. I'll put sunscreen on. :)
DeleteYou as fantasy lover are going to devour Shadow and bone. I'm eagerly waiting for Ruin & Rising :D Game of thrones is a fantastic TV show, but the books are great too! I'm currently reading part 3 and it's all so detailed and amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I will! Can't wait to binge read the whole series! And GOT should be really good. I've heard great things about the books. :)
