Top Ten Books On My Summer TBR List

I've been away from this blog for a while, but I'm home from school for the summer and have a little extra time to do some reading again. One of my favorite book blogs, The Broke and the Bookish, hosts a weekly feature called Top Ten Tuesday, and this week's theme is books on our summer to-be-read lists. I thought this would be a great way to get back into blogging and see what other people are reading for the summer too.


1. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard: I've been itching to read this one for a few months and finally picked it up at a bookstore last week.

2. P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han: To All The Boys I've Loved Before was one of my favorite books I read last year, and I've been eagerly awaiting its sequel ever since. I'm planning on reading the first book again to refresh my memory before I start this one.

3. When We Were Animals by Joshua Gaylord: This one is a coming-of-age story set in the Midwest with some spooky and thrilling elements.


4. The Heir by Kiera Cass: I had no idea this was even a thing until recently! I loved The Selection series, and I can't wait to see where Kiera Cass goes with this new installment. 

5. A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin: This has been on my TBR list for years. I want to start watching the show, but I want to read the books first.

6. A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab: Her book Vicious is one of my favorites. I can't wait to see what she does with this book, set in various different Londons.


7. The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh: This one is inspired by A Thousand and One Nights and sounds absolutely enchanting.

8. Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas: I love the Throne of Glass series and I'm not sure why I haven't gotten around to reading this one yet.


9. It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life of Love and War by Lynsey Addario: I took a class on media and foreign policy this past semester, and one of the case studies we looked at was about Lynsey Addario's work in Libya. I'm interested to learn more about her work concerning women and human rights.

10. Female Chauvinist Pigs by Ariel Levy: Another book about women and the effects media plays on culture.

What books are you planning on reading this summer?
