Summer TBR

Well, this was supposed to be a Top Ten Tuesday topic but I didn’t get this out on time so it’s just going to be a separate post otherwise half the summer will be gone! In summer, I reach for contemporaries, as most people do I’m sure, but I also reach for mysteries and thrillers. Agatha Christie is a go-to for me, but I have a few books I picked up to get to.

There’s going to be ten books on this TBR because it’s a sensible number for a three month TBR for me… no, it’s not. I like the numbers five and ten and that’s the only reason.

 

 

 

 

• Liar – this is set in summer and look at that cover. Is there a more perfect book for my summer TBR?
• Social Creatures – glitzy cover and the summary sort of reminds me of The Thousandth Floor, which I had mixed feelings about so we’ll see.
• The Dry – a mystery set in summer in Australia. Small town and lots of talk about the hot weather.
• Rivals on the Republic – a thriller set in Ancient Rome is definitely something on my radar and I’ve had this book for ages.
• Never Let Me Go – how long have I wanted to read this book? I’ve read previous Ishiguro books, loved one and was fairly indifferent to the others. We’ll see how this one turns out.

 

 

 

 

• Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – another reread! I just got the audiobook for this out of my library and want to take the chance to reread it, especially since I enjoyed my reread of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets so much.
• Cut to the Chaise – I have so many ARCs still to read and what better time to get those cosy mysteries read than summer?
• The Last Pilot – a literary novel about spacemen? Alright then, let’s give it a go.
• Ponti – in a completely shallow way, the cover is the main draw of this book. The summary has several things which attract me to a book and several things which put me off. So I’m wary.
• The City of Brass – I’m pretty sure the second one is out now but this is still on my shelf. It’s so big, I’m intimidated!
