Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is about reading plans for summer. What’s on my to-be-read list? As usual, it’s a mix of new releases and books from my shelves…
1) Another Day by David Levithan
2) What You Left Behind by Jessica Verdi
3) Jesse’s Girl by Miranda Kenneally
4) Circling the Sun by Paula McLain
5) A Window Opens by Elizabeth Egan
6) All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr (a book group pick for this summer)
7) The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd (another one for the book group)
8) Ross Poldark by Winston Graham (because I’m dying to watch the BBC version)
9) Depth by Lev AC Rosen
10) Dreams of the Golden Age by Carrie Vaughn (the sequel to After the Golden Age, which I just read and really enjoyed!)

Poldark (TV series) is brilliant. I was absolutely hooked.
Ooh, I can’t wait! It starts in the US next week. I’d hoped to read the book first, but I think I’m going to run out of time…
All The Light I Cannot See has been on my TBR for far too long – I’m hoping to read it this summer too.
I’m so glad my book group picked it for July — finally giving me the motivation I need to make time for it!
I love Sue Monk Kidd, haven’t gotten to read The Invention of Wings yet, but my bet is that it will be a great read! Happy Reading!
I picked up a copy of The Invention of Wings last year, but I still haven’t read it. Hurray for book group pressure! I’m really looking forward to it.
I recently finished Another Day… it’s FANTASTIC. Tugged at my heart strings just as much as Every Day, in completely different ways.
That’s so great to hear! I really loved Every Day (even ended up giving it as a gift to a few people), and I’m really looking forward to Another Day. I have the ARC, but I’m trying to be good and pace myself with my review books for the summer… it’s hard!
Awesome list. All the light we cannot see is such a great book!
Everyone I know who has read it, loved it! I’ve had the Kindle version for a while, but it always seemed so daunting to actually start. I’m saving it up for a vacation read in early July, and then I’ll be all set for my book group too!
I really want to read The Invention of Wings, I just love that author. Great list!
Thanks! I’ve only read one book by Sue Monk Kidd, but I thought it was wonderful, and I’ve heard such great things about this one too.
I just got my copy of All The Light so I hope to get to that sometime soon although it didn’t make my list this week.
If you read it this summer, maybe we can compare notes! 🙂
I Love your list, since it has quite a few of the books that i plan to read as well but i didn’t include in my own but for one reason or another didn’t land on my own.
i can’t wait for “Jesse’s girl” and “Circling the Sun”. I am happy to see those on someone else list. 🙂
I also have “All the light we can not see” and “The Invention of Wings” on my TBR list, but i am unsure if i can manage them this summer. But i heard so much fantastic things about those two books and i own them so i should finally get around to read them.
Nice to hear that we have books in common! To be honest, even though I really want to read All the Light and The Invention of Wings, I’m not sure that I’d get to them any time soon without knowing I have book group commitments! Sometimes peer pressure is a good thing. 🙂 I’m really looking forward to Jesse’s Girl. So far, I’ve read two of Miranda Kenneally’s books, but I’d like to go back and read more. Thanks for commenting!
I hope you enjoy All the Light We Cannot See! I really want to read Poldark too…
Great list, happy reading this summer 🙂 My TTT
Thanks, Lianne! Happy summer reading to you too! I can’t wait to start watching Poldark this weekend. For once, I may break my “read the book first” rule, since I don’t think I’ll have time for it for a while yet…
I keep meaning to read All The Light We Cannot See. It looks so good! 🙂 I hope you get to read all of these books.
Thanks! I’m really excited about all of these. Now the challenge is to stick to my list!
Oooh these all look so Summery!
There’s something so fun about summer reading, isn’t there?
You have some interesting reads here! Hope you enjoy them 🙂
Thanks so much! I’m really excited about all my summer picks. 🙂
That’s awesome that your book club is reading All The Light. I’ve been meaning to for the longest while now (it’s even an arm-stretch away too) but I just haven’t. I hope you cultivate some wonderful discussions with this read!
Cheers,
Joey via. thoughts and afterthoughts.
Thank you! A couple of my book group friends have finished it already and have been raving about it. I’m so glad to finally have the kick in the pants I need to start it!
Great list! I keep meaning to read The Invention of Wings, I’ve heard some wonderful things about it. I hope you get to read everything you want to this summer! 🙂
Thank you! I hope you have a great summer of reading too! 🙂
I’m reading All the Light We Cannot See at the moment – it is extraordinary!
I’m so excited to hear that! I have it all queued up to read during a trip in July, and I can’t wait!
Great list! What You Left Behind and All the Light We Cannot See are two that I’ve wanted to read for a while. I hope you enjoy them!

Thanks so much! I’m really looking forward to reading those two in particular (although I hope to be able to stick to a list for once and read all of these!)
Love your list haven’t heard of most of them but Wil definitely have to look into some of these reads.
Thanks! I hope you have some great reading lined up for the summer too!
