Top Ten Books On My Summer TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.

Lately I've been using a TBR Jar and drawing from it at the beginning of each month to show what I'll be reading for that month. I'm not sure how accurate any other TBR list I put together will be, but these are the books I hope to read this summer.


Top Ten Books On My Summer TBR




The Maze Runner by James Dashner
I keep hearing such awesome things about this book and I really hope I get to read it this summer.



Sandry's Book by Tamora Pierce
I've been introduced to Pierce's writing and this is the series I'm most interested in starting. I don't know why, other than I love the idea of the titles.



Bewitching Season by Marissa Doyle
I think I've said before that I love Regency or Victorian books with magic in them and this sounds like a really fun one.



Roots of Insight by Breeana Puttroff
After really, really liking the first in the series (and reading it in a day) I am so looking forward to getting ahold of this book.



The Swan Prince by Danielle E. Shipley
This was an author that I was introduced to during Fairy Tale Fortnight and her writing sounds great and the books sound like they'll be a lot of fun.



Vicious by V.E. Schwab
So I've been wanting to read this book for months. I finally bought it (because, seriously, it's impossible to find!) and still haven't been able to read it.



Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
I plan on borrowing this book from my library as an e-book because I'm not at all sure I'll like it - but I still hope to get to it sometime this summer.



These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner
This series sounds like it could be really awesome. However, with me and sci-fi... Majorly hit or miss - usually miss. But I really want to give it a go.



Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb
I think that it is well past time that I read a Hobb book. I am looking forward to finally getting to sit down and read it - but I'm also worried because it seems like the well-loved books are the ones I have problems with.



Encrypted by Lindsay Buroker
This is a 'previous' book for a couple of the supporting characters in Buroker's Emperor's Edge series (that I love) and I've been wanting to read it since before I finished that series.








So, this summer I'm hoping to finally get some sci-fi read - some sci-fi that I like hopefully, because I've been trying to expand into sci-fi without much luck. Beyond that, fantasy (like always) and a bit of historical. And is Vicious contemporary? I keep calling it that. Think any of these books should move to the top of the list? What do you want to read this summer?

Great list. I hope you like Vicious. It’s one of the best books I’ve read so far this year.

Yeah, I have very high hopes for Vicious because it sounds like just my kind of book!
The Maze Runner trilogy is really great! And the movie wasn't half bad either, so you might want to check it out if you read the book. I really hope These Broken Stars will be a hit for you! It was one of my favorite books last year and it's sequel was equally amazing. Can't wait for the third, and last book, Their Fractured Light.
Lovely list. :)

I definitely want to watch the movie after I read The Maze Runner. This was one of those books/movie combinations that I promised myself I'd read the book first. Thank you. Honestly, I hope so too because the whole Starbound series sounds great! The only problem is that I'm not really a sci-fi reader. I want to be though and am hoping this trilogy will help me get started.
The Maze Runner was really good! Unfortunately the rest of the series wasn't as good as the first for me. I've been meaning to read These Broken Stars and Shadow and Bone for a while now, hopefully I can get to them soon! Great Picks, Hope you enjoy them and Happy Reading :)

Ooh, I hate it when the first book is great and the rest of the series kind of...isn't. We'll see what happens for me, I guess. Hope YOU get to both These Broken Stars and Shadow and Bone too and you enjoy.
