What is on your summer reading list?
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. 🙂
