Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's theme is: Top Ten Books In My Beach Bag. I'm still working through my Spring TBR List and a lot of those books were summery, so I don't have too much YA on the list this week.
Summer of Yesterday by Gaby Triana - Disney, time travel, the 80s - sounds like a perfect beach read.
Breathe, Annie, Breathe by Miranda Kenneally - I will read anything by Miranda Kenneally and the plot of this one sounds like it will really showcase her talent. Can't wait to get my hands on it!
The Bridge From Me To You by Lisa Schroeder - I've heard comparisons to Friday Night Lights, which is always a winner, and it was recommended on Clear Eyes, Full Shelves so I'll definitely be reading it this summer.
Wish You Were Italian by Kristin Rae - This has been getting really good reviews and sounds like a lighthearted, fun read.
Nowhere But Home by Liza Palmer - More Friday Night Lights comparisons. Small town, secrets, football...I'm there.
The One & Only by Emily Giffin - I liked Something Borrowed but never got around to reading the next one. However, this one has football in it so I'll give it a try. I like to read 'chick-lit' during the summer months.
The Best of Us by Sarah Pekkanen - I've read three Sarah Pekkanen novels and love her style of writing. For some reason, it's not very easy to get her books over here but I'm going to try and read this one and Catching Air.
The Vacationers by Emma Straub - It makes sense to read holiday novels whilst on holiday. I do like novels that trap extended family members together on an island or something and leave them to simmer.
The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith - I only just read The Cuckoo's Calling a few weeks ago, so I'm intrigued to see what Cormoran does next.
The Opposite of Loneliness by Marina Keegan - I read about Marina's story and this posthumous collection of essays in a magazine (maybe Elle US?) and decided I'd read it. So tragic.
Wish You Were Italian sounds super fun! I'm going to try to squeeze it into my Summer pile too!

I was swayed by all the positive reviews that kept cropping up on my feed!
DeleteThe Silkworm! Yus! I haven't even finished the first one yet, but I will... every Book Geek's famous last words...

Haha! I hope you manage to finish it soon. Even though the plot was a bit up and down, I liked Cormoran and Robyn (Robin?) enough to keep going.
DeleteI really want to read Wish You Were Italian, The Bridge From Me to You and Summer of Yesterday, they look so cute!

ReplyDeleteYes the best holiday reads are about holidays!
DeleteAwesome picks! Breathe Annie Breathe sounds pretty good... I may have to check out the other books in that series!

I would definitely recommend the Hundred Oaks series - especially Things I Can't Forget.
DeleteI keep seeing Wish You Were Italian today and before today I had never heard of it. It sounds so cute, I'm going to have to add it to my list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. Really love yours! :)
Thanks Danielle! I was surprised to see Wish You Were Italian on so many lists too. Judging by my blogger/bloglovin feed it seemed like everyone had read it already!
