Summer TBR

I already feel like summer is beginning it’s wind-down, but I have wanted to share my summer TBR for awhile, just in case it gives anyone else some ideas to add to their own TBR.

In the summer, I tend to read more contemporary fiction and new releases because that just seems to fit the mood better. It’s when I fit in all those books that I’ve been wanting to read but just haven’t gotten around to yet!

I LOVE to browse summer reading guides, especially when they include backlist books. My two favorites have been the summer reading guide from Modern Mrs. Darcy as well as the summer reading guide from Everyday Reading.

There is no doubt in my mind that I will NOT be able to read even half of the books on my list, but it’s always fun to have high goals, right? I get all of my books from the library, so sometimes I am waiting in a hold list for a long time and can read a bunch of other books while I wait. The problem with that is that usually all my hold books come available at the same time ha!

Keep in mind that these are not personal book reviews from me, this is just a list of books that I plan to read. All books linked are Amazon, and I will make a tiny commission if you buy a book through that link. However, I highly recommend getting the books from the library and saving yourself a bunch of money.

Have you read any of these? Do you plan to read any of these? Where do you get your best book recommendations?

    I just got Love Lettering from the library but haven’t read it yet. I have Lessons in Chemistry on my hold list. I have read Where the Crawdads Sing, but need to read it again as a refresher before I watch the new movie. And I am 90% sure that I have read Verity, but the storyline sounds so unfamiliar that I’m going to have to read it, either again, or finally.

    I read a grand total of one book in the whole of June, but decided to gift myself a month of deleted social apps for my birthday this month, and already I’m starting my sixth book for July.

    My possibly weird favorite genre is murder mysteries, preferably cozyish ones, if that is even a thing. I collect Agatha Christie books. Right now I am working my way through the Hannah Swensen Mysteries by Joann Fluke. Hannah is a baker and the owner of a coffee/cookie shop called The Cookie Jar. She seems to have a magnet for arriving on murder scenes before anyone else and solving them as well. The books also contain a bunch of cookie and cake recipes that are really very good. I take a lot of pictures of recipes to try out. My favorite so far has been the Chocolate Chip Crunch cookies, they have corn flakes in them and are absolutely divine!

    Anyway, since I’ve deleted my social apps for the month, I’m delighted to see your blog pop up in my email. You are one of the two bloggers I actually follow, and I enjoy getting a peek into your life!
