I'm linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl for another Top Ten Tuesday.
It's time for another seasonal check-in! I finished all the books on my Spring TBR, and now it's time to think about summer. Here are ten books I'm planning to read this summer.
I started reading this memoir a few months ago, but I wasn't in the right head space to dig into the story, and it went back to the library before I got very far. I'm hoping to give it another go this summer.
I'm trying to learn from last year and not load up on queer romances, but I do want to read something queer in honor of pride, so this middle grade novel about a nonbinary kid and their friends fighting for inclusion at school sounds like a great option.
After devouring the Raven Cycle series and subsequent Dreamer trilogy, I'm looking forward to picking up Stiefvater's latest, which is her first book for adult readers. I subscribe to her newsletter and have enjoyed hearing her reflections about the writing process and writing for a different audience.
I was spellbound by the first two books in this mystery series, and I'm very excited for this third book that was just released.
I feel like I got the basics of attachment theory from Polysecure (and just, like, the corners of the Internet I frequent), but this is one that my partner has read and said was a good basic overview and a quick read, so I figured it would be good to read this and be able to have the same vocabulary.
I was perusing my "books-about-books" tag on my might-want-to-read list, and this one jumped out at me because I've enjoyed some of Bauermeister's previous work. I'm interested to see what this one is about!
The hype on this 2016 book has now died down, but it still has good ratings and reviews, so it seems worth finally picking it up!
I'm hoping to mix in some engaging nonfiction this summer, and this one continues to sound interesting to me!
This was recommended by someone at work, and it looks like a really valuable read. I had some issues with the book Grit, and I wonder if this will address some of those concerns.
This book was featured in an article recommended by a friend of mine whose perspectives I greatly value. As I've been trying to get news in as unbiased a way as possible (primarily through listening to Left, Right, and Center and reading the daily Tangle newsletter), it has helped me better distinguish between what is substantive and actually creating change and what is performative and even counterproductive in the progressive movements I care about. I'm looking forward to seeing how this book tackles hard truths about societal inequities actually being reinforced by social justice movements.
What do you plan to read this summer?
Looking back:
One year ago I was reading: Jessica, Tiny Beautiful Things, The Scarlet Shredder, and To Night Owl from Dogfish
Five years ago I was reading: The Color of Compromise and Women, Race, & Class
Ten years ago I was reading: Jesus Calling, Angle of Repose, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, The Tale of Despereaux, The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace, and Little House on the Prairie
