Like most folks on GoodReads, I have a never ending list of “to read” books. I’m taking a page post out of Alexandra‘s and Kelly‘s blogs and rattling off a few novels I want to tackle this summer.
Hopefully a few of these fall in line with Erin‘s next challenge, too! That starts July 1st so I have a little break between now and then to tackle as many of these books as I can!
Yes Please (Amy Poehler).
I added this to my bookshelf in July 2015, then I received it as a gift this year for Valentine’s Day. I enjoyed Tina’s and Mindy’s books so I’m looking forward to this one, too.
The Heir & The Crown (Kiera Cass).
Two separate books- numbers 4 and 5 in The Selection series. I’ve made it this far… I might as well finish out the series.
Scarlet (A.C. Gaughen).
I believe Alexandra put this on my radar a few month ago (er, maybe a year ago?). Either way… I’m putting it at the top of the list.
The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well (Meik Wiking).
Everyone’s reading it sooo… I want to, too.
The Wrath & The Dawn (Renee Ahdieh).
I’m going to finally attempt to link-up with Carolann‘s monthly GoodReads book club. This is the May book.
The Sisters Brothers (Patrick deWitt).
Erin sent me this book a few weeks ago and I’m dying to start it! That cover is so intriguing!
Three Dark Crowns (Kendare Blake).
I’ve heard good things about this book and it’s got a nice mix of royalty and fantasy. Those two genres are usually right up my alley.
Either Throne of Glass or A Court of Thorns and Roses (Sarah J. Maas).
Any recommendations on which I should start?
Help me out with the Maas books. And tell me what you’re planning on reading this summer!

I just got The Little Book of Hygge from the library so it’s next on my list!

I can’t decide if I want to read it now or wait until the weather gets colder and I’m in the mood for “cozy.” Lol

I want to finish out the rest of the Selection series soon too. I know I have The Heir somewhere. Just need to find it after our move! Haha.

They read so quickly. I have my cousin’s copy that I need to read and give back, then I’ll have to get the last one from the library. Maybe if I reserve it now it’ll give me that kick I need to start them. Ha.

I have so many books on my to-read list! Current plan is to try and get through some of the ones I already own before Erin’s next challenge starts (and hope the rest can be fit into the categories!). So finish Sophie’s World, read the last two books in the Lying Game series and then I have a book called Silence is Goldfish that I can’t wait to start!

A few of these I own or I have borrowed from family/friends. I think those are probably my priority.

These look like great summer picks! I’ve heard really good things about The Wrath and the Dawn and the A Court of Thorns and Roses trilogy. Happy reading. 🙂

I just finished The Wrath and The Dawn. It was good! Not really my style, but it was super entertaining and I ended up loving the main character. Check it out!

Oh gosh. So many of these books are on my TBR as well. I love the cover to The Sisters and Brothers and put it on my TBR after Erin reviewed it sometime last year. The Wrath of the Dawn, Three Dark Crowns and Scarlett are also on my TBR. Too many great books and too little time! I fully expected to love Throne of Glass but found it rather meh so I’ve been hesitant to read any of Maas’ other books.

Hmm… I’m bummed to hear about your Maas books review 😦 Maybe I’ll start with the other series.
I feel like a few of these have really beautiful or intriguing covers!

I was JUST talking to someone about Yes Please and they said they listened to the audiobook and Amy Poehler reads it herself. It’s definitely on my list too bc Leslie Knope is my girl crush 😉

If I didn’t already own the book I’d probably pick to listen to it. That’s my future plan with Jim Gaffigan’s books!

I really enjoyed Yes, Please. I did it on audio and it was awesome hearing her read the book herself. Haven’t heard of most of the rest of these so I will have to check them out!

If I didn’t already own it, I would listen to it 🙂 That’s my plan for future autobiographies!

I really want to read that Hygge book too, which I say anytime I see someone talk about it, but never look into actually getting a copy of it, haha. The Wrath and the Dawn was sooo good- so far outside of my usual reading preferences, but I loved the writing and the story so much!

I do the same thing with the Hygge book. And I’m still considering putting it off until the weather gets cool. Haha! I just finished The Wrath and The Dawn and I can’t decide how I feel about it… ha.

I loved Bossy Pants 🙂 I wish Tina was my spirit animal (but I feel like she’s too cool for me, hahaha!).
I kind of hate-read The Selection. Hahahahaha. I don’t like love triangles and that’s all it’s been. But they’re quick to read and I’m hopeful the last two books will be a little different since the story line is changing.

It really wasn’t my kind of book and I groaned every time I picked it up… but I don’t know why! It kept me entertained, I loved Shahrzad, and the characters were well throughout. I’m on the fence about it for sure…

This looks like a great summer list! I liked Yes Please better than Tina and Mindy’s books, even though they all have a great sense of humor.

Ooooh, that makes me look forward to it even more! I looooved Tina’s book. I wonder if I should watch more Parks and Rec before I read Amy’s…

The first thing I noticed was how PRETTY all these book covers are. I’ve read Yes Please and it wasn’t my thing, I think I’m just not a person who enjoys reading books written by comedians? I’m sure you’ll like it, since I’m definitely in the minority!

I haven’t read ANY of those yet and they all look really good. I think I started The Selection series ages ago but I’d have to restart, it’s been so long. Scarlet looks interesting. Hygge I definitely want to check out – I think it’s been on my list a while. I’m checking out all the others, too!

I finished The Wrath and The Dawn this week so I’m starting on The Heir now. Maybe Yes Please and Scarlet next. I can’t decide if I want to put off the Hygge book until fall or winter… lol.
