10 Books on My Summer To Be Read List

June 18, 2013 by Wifeeclectic 17 Comments

There is nothing I love more than laying outside in the summer on a blanket, reading a book. Here are a few books I am looking forward to reading this summer. Linking up with The Broke and the Bookish.

  • Glitch by Heather Anastasiu- As soon as I read the synopsis of this book, I was hooked. It almost sounds like it has a borg community type feeling to it. I am excited for this read. (Finished 6/19/13)
  • Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan (Finished 6/17/13)
  • Shatter Me by Taherh Mafi- I have heard great things about this dystopian book. It is one of my absolute must reads of the summer. (Finished 6/17/13)
  • Unravel Me– by Taherh Mafi- Knowing me, if I read the first one, Shatter Me, I am going to be dying to get my hands on the second one. 
  • Spellcaster by Claudia Gray- I keep seeing this book everywhere, so I am adding to my list! 
  • Entwined by Heather Dixon- I bought this book on a whim earlier this year. I have hear it is an enchanting retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses and I am excited to read it. 
  • Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins – After finally giving in and reading Anna and the French Kiss and absolutely LOVING it. I know that I have to get my hands on Lola this summer. (Finished 6/18/13)
  • Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini – I spent all of my Christmas money in one day at a book store this year and this book was one of the ones I picked up. 
  • Legend by Marie Lu- I swear everyone has read this one but me. I am going to fix that this summer. 
  • Reached by Ally Condie- I have a mental block on this book, the last in the Matched Trilogy, for some reason I just haven’t been able to bring myself to finish the series. I will finish it!

    Shatter Me is INCREDIBLE. I received Starcrossed as a gift back in April, but haven't gotten to it yet. I hope to read that this summer as well. Great list – so many good books!

    Ha, I have been meaning to read Entwined for maybe two years (since it was released anyway). I even bought a copy more than a year ago, but still haven't read it. It's definitely something I hope to read this year. I should really get on that 🙂
