Summer 2020 TBR

Top Ten Tuesday

Hello! Another week has snuck by… but it’s Tuesday again, which means Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl). Today we’re talking about our TBRs! I love TBR week, although lately I haven’t been doing quite as well on my TBRs lately, but we’ll see that in a moment.

How did I do on my Spring TBR?

  • Between Burning Worlds – Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell: Read
  • Chosen Ones – Veronica Roth: Read
  • Malediction – Katerina King: Read
  • Conquest – Celeste Harte: Unread
  • The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes – Suzanne Collins: Read
  • 1453 – Roger Crowley: Read
  • Descendent of the Crane – Joan He: Unread
  • Keeper – Kim Chance: Unread
  • 99 Percent Mine – Sally Thorne: Read
  • Tell Me Everything – Sarah Enni: Read

So this quarter I had a 70% success rate. I might have finished a couple more, but I started reading the Twilight series.

So what do I hope to read this summer? There are no new must-read books for me, so the books listed here are: 1) the three I didn’t read in the spring and 2) books I picked from the TBR lottery.

Conquest cover

Celeste Harte is one of the hosts of Character Chaos on Twitter. I’ve been wanting to read Conquest for a while. It was on my spring TBR, after all! I really want to get to this one first. I have a few ARCs to read that I need to get to, but this is probably the first book from my TBR I intend to conquer.

Descendant of the Crane cover

Descendant of the Crane has been on my list for quite a while too. I wanted to read this one since it was an ARC (I wasn’t approved). Let’s hope I can get to this one this summer.

Keeper cover

Kim Chance used to host Chance2Connect on Twitter once a month. Sadly, June’s Chance2Connect was the last one, but I still want to read her book, Keeper. This was on my list of Spring 2020 books, but I didn’t get around to it.

Opposite of Always cover

Opposite of Always by Justin A. Reynolds has been on my radar for quite a while now. It sounds so interesting! He read some of his book at a Zoom event a couple months ago, and I liked what I heard so far!

Mirror Gate cover

Mirror Gate is the second book in The Harbinger series. I read Storm Glass last year, and I bought the rest of the series when it was on sale on Amazon.com (gotta love those $1.99 books) but I haven’t read past the first book yet.

The Bride Test has been on my radar for a while too. I liked The Kiss Quotient, and am looking forward to reading the second book in this series.

Amy and Roger's Epic Detour

I first heard of Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour from my fellow Top Ten Tuesday bloggers. It sounded good, so I added it to my TBR. It won the lottery for this summer, and it seems like such a summery book!

The First Hostage

It’s been a very long time since I read The Third Target, which is the first book in the J.B. Collins series. The First Hostage is the second book, and it won the TBR lottery for this season. It’s definitely different than the other books on this list, but it should be a nice change of pace. I love Joel C. Rosenberg’s books.

A Curse So Dark and Lonely

I got A Curse So Dark and Lonely on sale quite a while ago, but I haven’t read it yet. This is a Beauty and the Beast retelling. Hopefully it will be really good!

Jo & Laurie

I never read Little Women (I have an antique copy and I think I read one page before I lost interest; I was really young at the time I tried to read it though). This was one of the books on Bookish First a month or so ago, and I liked the beginning (sadly, I was too late to use my points to get a copy). I do hope to read Jo & Laurie this summer though.

So these are the books I hope to read this summer! What books do you hope to read? Next week is Top Ten Tuesday’s 10th Anniversary! I don’t know what option I’m going to pick yet.
