This week's theme was a freebie. So, after much deliberation, here's what I came up with...
📚The 11 Books I Most Want to Read This Summer:
(I actually had my list narrowed down to ten, but then I added one more at the last minute.)
1. Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
2. The Burning Girls by C.J. Tudor
3. The Black Echo by Michael Connelly
4. For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten
5. Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs
6. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
7. How to Mars by David Ebenbach
8. Suddenly Psychic by Elizabeth Hunter
9. The Rains by Gregg Hurwitz
10. Courage Under Fire by Lindsay McKenna
11. The Darkness by Ragnar Jonasson
Of course, there are many more books on my summer TBR list...too many!...but these 11 books are at the top, and the ones I hope to read first. Stay tuned to see what other books summer brings.
Happy Reading!
Well, I highly recommend Tarzan of the Apes! :-) I really liked the movie with Alexander Skarsgård too, though that's more of a sequel. And For the Wolf is on my TBR too: what a gorgeous cover, how can you not want to read it~
ReplyDeleteI loved the Tarzan movie with Alexander Skarsgard! And I'm very excited to read For the Wolf. :D
DeleteProject Hail Mary was amazing! I have a review of it coming out on my blog in two days, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

I have Project Hail Mary on hold...it'll just take a few weeks for my number to come up at the library. But it does look really good.
DeleteThat's a nice variety of choices...something for every mood you find yourself in over the summer. I just reviewed Project Hail Mary this morning. Andy Weir writes one heck of a complicated SF novel, that's for sure. If you like the science in science fiction, you'll love it. Oh, and it's hard to go wrong with Michael Connelly, IMO.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind a lot of science in my science fiction. And I really loved Weir's The Martian, so I'm looking forward to reading Project Hail Mary. And I've already got The Black Echo checked out of the library! :)
DeleteGreat variety of books you've here, Lark! And I can't wait to read The Burning Girls for our next read! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading The Burning Girls, too! :D
DeleteEclectic assortment. Loved The Hail Mary Project and enjoyed Suddenly Psychic. The one that most interest me is For the Wolf!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't For the Wolf sound good? I have it on hold at my library, but it's still "on order", so hopefully it'll come in soon.
DeleteFun list! I'm really looking forward to Project Hail Mary too, and now you've gotten me curious about How To Mars.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT this week
Doesn't How To Mars look like fun? Thanks for commenting!
DeleteNice list of books! Andy Weir's new book seems so popular.
ReplyDeleteEveryone seems to be reading it...or putting it on hold to read! I'm like #61 out of 84 on my library's hold list for it.
DeleteLooks like you've got some great reading material for the summer. :)
ReplyDeleteHaving a summer reading list is the easy part...finding time to read all the books on it is another. ;D
DeleteJust one more book! I think I know that feeling...
ReplyDeleteRight? Happens to me all the time. ;D
DeleteAndy Weir's type of sci-fi would not normally be my think, but after loving The Martian more than I'd have thought, I've got Project Hail Mary coming up on my TBR too.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
I loved The Martian, too! :D Thanks for commenting.
DeleteOoh I liked the Rains! And Tarzan is such a classic- haven't read it in years. Back in the 80's (or maybe 70's) Ballantine had the entire series in these awesome editions with Neal adams and Boris Vallejo art (I ws more into Adams). I had some as a kid, they looked so good on the shelf... :)
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to read Tarzan for a couple of years now and this is the summer! :D
DeleteI've only read INTO THE WILD from your list. The book is interesting, but it's also super sad and depressing. Hopefully, you'll like it better than I did.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I've just always been curious about Chris McCandless and his story. But I do know it's not a happy ending.
DeleteProject Hail Mary was so awesome! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI hear such good things about it, I'm hoping my hold will come in soon. Thanks for commenting!
DeleteI hope you'll enjoy all of these. Project Hail Mary is one of my favorites of the year so far.
ReplyDeleteI'm so looking forward to reading that one! :)
DeleteThis reminds me that I've been wanting to read Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer for years! For the Wolf also sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI have For the Wolf on hold already, and am hoping to read Into the Wild next month. They do both look good, don't they? Thanks for commenting!
Delete'All' of those sound so good. I daren't go and look them all up or my tbr pile will increase by 11 books I just 'know' it. LOL!
ReplyDelete:D That's always the danger in visiting other bookish blogs, isn't it?
DeleteFor the Wolf is on mine too!! I hope you get to all of these and have a brilliant summer! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leslie! I hope you have a good summer of reading, too. :D
DeleteI love that cover for The Burning Girls and that is one book I want to read. I also want to finally read something by Ragnar Jonsson! Hope you get to these this summer!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Iliana! It's always nice to have a lot of good books to look forward to reading. :)
DeleteIs Into the Wild the book they made into a movie a few years back with Kristen Stewart? I just read in the comments you know it doesn't have a happy ending. Yep, that movie was depressing. I loved The Martian so I'm interested in Hail Mary. I think I read Black Echo years ago. I read the first 3 (maybe?) in that series. Never heard of Courage Under Fire or The Darkness, but they look good. I have a copy of For the Wolf and I'm looking forward to it! Hope you get your copy soon. I look forward to your thoughts on all of these, Lark! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie, but they are the same story. And I loved The Martian, too. Such a fun read. (And movie.) I have For the Wolf on hold at my library and am hoping it comes in soon. :)
DeleteThese form a great list. I still haven't read The Martian (nor have I seen the movie), but I've heard such great things about the author that I'm sure the new book will be good.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping! A lot of people seem to really like it.
DeleteHail Mary is on my summer list as well! I've always wanted to read Into the Wild and Tarzan.
ReplyDeleteI think Project Hail Mary is on everyone's list this summer judging by how many people have it on hold at my library. :)
DeleteI've been wanting to read Into the Wild for year now--maybe if I read your review, I'll be inspired to take it off the shelf and open it!
ReplyDeleteWill be curious regarding the Edgar Rice Burroughs book. I've never read anything by him, but I'm curious.
Happy summer!
I'm curious about the Tarzan book, too. It'll be my classic with an animal in the title, so hopefully it'll be fun. And I'll let you know what I think of Into the Wild. :)
DeleteI hope you enjoy all of these when you get to them. I remember seeing For the Wolf around a lot awhile ago. I think people enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThat's good to hear. :)
DeleteInto the Wild is a great (though sad-ish) read .... have you seen the movie? liked it as well ...
ReplyDeleteI have not seen the movie yet; I thought I'd read the book first. :)
DeleteGood pick for a freebie. I haven't read any of these but most of them sound quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteI chose Eastern Europe for my TTT.
Thanks for commenting! I'm off to check out yours. :)
