Ooh, some of these look really good. Definitely worth looking into for summer reading.
These all look so great. The last two weeks I’ve been reading non stop! I could add a couple of these to my list!
I miss reading. I think once I became a blogger I stopped and that is sad. I really want to start again.
Great picks! I picked up a few books for our road trip this week. Can’t wait to dive into them.
What a great list! I especially want to read Dietland and The Wonder Garden.
An Ember in the Ashes is recommended all the time to me. It sounds like a great book.
I really want to get my hands on James Patterson’s last few books. I haven’t had a lot of reading time lately, so I missed them.
I don’t have a summer reading list yet. You’ve given me good food for thought. 🙂
This is a great list. I am putting Dietland on my list for this summer. Hadn’t seen that one before.
This is a great selection of books. I love to curl up with a great book and relax. I will have to check out a few of these.
I was looking at the this list and trying to pick a favorite. I have to say that they all sound interesting! I don’t know that I can pick a favorite!
Those look interesting to read. I would love to try the Struggle book as I like the theme
I’m going to check some of these out. I have a book that I’m getting ready to read now. I’m so busy it may take a while.
These are all really a great selection of books for summer read. I love to curl up with a great book and relax. I like ‘Dietland’, ‘Hold still’ and ‘The wonder Garden’. Will have to check out few books of this list for sure.
I don’t have a summer reading list yet! I definitely need to pick out one great book for my beach trip in July though. 🙂
