Summer Books To Read: #20BooksOfSummer

11th June 2018 by Gemma Leave a Comment

20 Books of Summer20 Summer Books to Read

We’ll ignore the fact that I have been an absent blogger (I’m kind of back, and that’s all that matters, right?) and head straight to this fantastic idea by Cathy at 746books.com.

In essence, from the 4th of June ’til the 3rd of September, I will be reading 20 books of my own choosing. That’s 13 weeks, 21 days, and 20 books.

Like Cathy, I may swap one book on the list for another, because life is too short to spend one’s time reading book/s one doesn’t feel like reading at a particular moment.

I’ve mostly chosen books I already have on my shelves, including my e-shelf. The only exception would be the books for the book club I attend monthly which we don’t get to decide on until the month before.

So without further digressing, here’s my #20BooksOfSummer —

  • In The Country, Mia Alves
  • America Is Not The Heart, Elaine Castillo
  • Reaper At The Gates, Sabaa Tahir
  • The Summer Book, Tove Jansson
  • The Bees, Laline Paull
  • Godsgrave, Jay Kristoff
  • Legendary, Stephanie Garber
  • Emma, Jane Austen
  • The Improbability Of Love, Hannah Rothschild
  • One Of Us Is Lying, Karen McManus
  • Rebecca, Daphne du Maurier
  • A Room With A View, E. M. Forster
  • The Surface Breaks, Louise O’Neill
  • How To Stop Time, Matt Haig
  • Exit West, Mohsin Hamid
  • Conversations With Friends, Sally Rooney
  • A Crown Of Wishes, Roshi Chokshi
  • The Light We Lost, Jill Santopolo (July Book Club read)
  • August Book Club read
  • September Book Club read

I am undeniably in a YA mood as evidenced by more than a quarter of the books listed. And if you consider the books by Paull, Austen, and Forster as YA, then that’s almost half of the list! We’ll see where the mood takes me at the end of the season, eh?

And yes, I have already started — a week has gone by already, after all!

How about you? Do you have your own #20BooksofSummer?
