Summer Reading | 2018

Summer officially starts on the 21st of June but the weather has already caught up. It's the best time of year where sun, books, and swimming become my priority. I haven't read a book in months and it's time to change that. So here's a list of books I plan to read this summer. Realistically based on my reading habits of late I would like to read at least five but I'm not known to dream small when it comes to books...

__________________________________________________________

Second Chance Summer - My mom read this book first since after I recommended The Unexpected Everything (and loving it) and she thought I would love it too so I have to read it now.

The Secrets We Bury, This Heart of Mine, Herding Cats, and In Her Skin are all ARCs I have yet to read. These are a must this summer.

I decided to give Simon vs. the Home Sapiens Agenda a try after the movie trailers looked so cute. Although they did give away him talking to his mom about everything...

To Kill a Kingdom - Another ARC I am desperate to read.

Save the Date - If it is Morgan Matson I will read it.

Let's Pretend This Never Happened - I've been wanting to read this book for four years!!! It is time.

Orphan Monster Spy - I discovered this book a while back before it was out and I love everything about it.  I do worry about it being set in WWII because I don't need another scene like at the end of The Book Thief.

Horten's Miraculous Mechanisms - This is a challenge read I haven't gotten to yet. It's very different to what I usually read which is a good thing in my book. I haven't read much children/middle grade books in a while plus magic!

The Search for Wondla - This is another challenge read that looks and sounds like a combo of Star Wars and The Golden Compass to me. It sounds like it'll be a great adventure.

Stef Soto, Taco Queen - This is part of my foodie reads challenge. It looks really cute and fun.

The Knife of Never Letting Go - This is a long time book in my tbr. I know people love the series and it is by Patrick Ness whose story writing in A Monster Calls was beautiful.

The Thief - I read this long before the hype. I completely forgot what happened in the story so I was planning on reading it when it was popular again so I can continue the story but never did. It is #1 on my Goodreads tbr list. If I finish this I'll have to throw a party.

The Magic Pudding is a classic Australian children's book which I find interesting. I need more classics in my life.

Pivot Point and What's Left of Me - If it kills me, I will read these books one day. I love the covers, the premises, everything about them! So it is time to read.

Food Wars - I'm actually planning on reading four volumes of the Food Wars since those are the only ones (plus volume eighteen) available in order at the library. Even if I don't eat meat, I still like to read food related books especially if they are fiction. Also, I am missing out on not reading manga.
