Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Books on My Summer 2025 to-Read List.
It’s impossible to keep up with all the books I have my eyes on! Here are the top 10 I most want to make time for… preferably for reading outdoors, in the sun, with warm breezes and a big iced coffee to go with them!










- Writing Mr. Wrong by Kelley Armstrong
- Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
- Sounds Like Love by Ashley Poston
- Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab
- The Poppy Fields by Nikki Erlick
- Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
- The Last Wizards’ Ball by Charlaine Harris
- Totally and Completely Fine by Elissa Sussman
- Swordheart by T. Kingfisher
- The Fair Folk by Su Bristow
What are you planning to read this summer? Please share your TTT links!

I love the cover of Great Big Beautiful Life.
Here is our <a href=”https://www.longandshortreviews.com/miscellaneous-musings/top-ten-tuesday-books-on-my-summer-2025-to-read-list/“>Top Ten Tuesday.</a>
Me too! And I’ve loved all her books so far, so I’m really looking forward to this one.
I love the cover of The Poppy Fields.
It’s so pretty! I’m just starting it today, and it’s off to a really good start.
I love the cover of The Poppy Fields.
This is a great TBR! We have some overlapping. I hope you enjoy them all!
Thanks! So many books that look amazing to choose from!
So many great picks! I really need to get to Swordheart, Great Big Beautiful Life, and Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, too. I hope you enjoy all of these!
Thanks! I just wish I had more time to read… I want to read them all right now!
I’m on the long waiting list for Great Big Beautiful Life!
I finally broke down and bought myself a copy after a very long hold at the library… but still haven’t started it (but I think it’ll be up next!)
I’m always excited for a new Emily Henry book! Now I need to go look up Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. 😀
Emily Henry’s books are such great summer reads! i’ve always enjoyed them.
So many possibilities for a happy reading summer! enjoy!
Thank you! Wishing you great summer reading too!
Fab list! Great Big Beautiful Life was such a great read!
Can’t wait to start it!
The new VESchwab book didn’t make my summer reading list, but I’d like to read it at some point. Most of my summer reading material is fantasy, and I don’t know how it happened but most of them are duologies so now I’ll be locked in to buying more books if i like them because i’ll need to pick up the sequels.
Top Ten Books on My Summer 2025 to-Read List
Haha, I’m always a little nervous about starting a book that’s first in a duology or series — because if I love it, I just know I’ll need to continue!
Atmosphere keeps catching my attention!
Her books are always so good! I may save Atmosphere for an upcoming trip when I expect to have big chunks of time to just curl up and read.
That sounds lovely!
Schwab is on today’s list, Jenkins Reid is one I will read but never put on this week’s list, and Henry is one I just finished. Review still needs to be written.

Awesome to know we have so many books in common!!
Hi Lisa, this is a great selection for outside summer reading! How I long for a stretch of time where I can just laze around and read – isn’t it a fantasy for us all? I’ll have the summer off from required reading for the library, so I will find more time. Last night at work I helped someone find Great Big Beautiful Life – she was so excited! Hope you are doing well 🙂
Thanks, Barbara! Wishing you a great summer with plenty of (non-required) reading time!
Yes!
I just finished Sounds Like Love and it was really good! I’ve been hearing really good things about Atmosphere and The Poppy Fields. Enjoy your books, it looks like you have a very strong summer reading pile!
I just started The Poppy Fields, and can’t wait to figure out where it’s all going! I think Sounds Like Love will be one of my next books after that. So glad you liked it!
Looks like you have some fun reading ahead of you. Enjoy!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Thank you! I’m excited for all of these!
Bury Our Bones is on my list – so many good ones out there just waiting to be read!
I’ve seen a lot of lists include Bury Our Bones this week! I can ‘t wait to start it!
I’m going to have to look The Fair Folk up. It looks like you have some fantastic books on your TBR. I loved Bury Our Bones and can’t wait to finally start that Charlaine Harris series. I hope you enjoy all of these and have a lovely summer 🥰
So glad that you loved Bury Our Bones! I plan to start it within the next week or so, and can’t wait!
Thank you. I hope you enjoy it too.
Such a great list! I’m probably most excited for the new V.E. Schwab, Ashley Poston, Taylor Jenkins Reid and Emily Henry. I hope you will enjoy them all!
Thanks! Sounds like we’re excited for may of the same books!
Writing Mr. Wrong was pretty great and I have the Emily Henry book on hold at the library.
I’m excited for Writing Mr. Wrong!
