Books On My Summer TBR | TTT

Books On My Summer TBR | TTT

December 17, 2019 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 5 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books on my Summer TBR. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

While nearly everyone else is going to winter around the world. It’s becoming Summer here in Australia. And it’s out in full force. It’s going to be hot this week that is for sure. So I thought I would share the books that I want to get through this summer. I’m going on a cruise early January, so I’m hoping to read a whole bunch during that time. There is a combination of new releases and backlist titles here. Like always these are in no order.  

Wilder Girls Cover - Summer TBRWilder Girls by Rory Power: I got this one soon after it was released and still haven’t managed it pick it up. I just haven’t been fully in the mood for it. But I really want to get to it in the next couple of months. It sounds like it’s going to be intense. Plus, I’ve heard all different things about it, so I’m really excited to see where I fall. 

A Heart So Fierce and Broken (Cursebreakers #2) by Brigid Kemmerer: There should be no surprise that this one is on my list. I adored A Curse so Dark and Lonely so much and I can’t wait to see where Brigid takes this world and the characters. But I also don’t think I’m ready for all the heartbreak. It’s going to rip me apart and be so intense.  

The How and the Why by Cynthia Hand: This is a new book on my radar and I can’t wait to read it. It sounds so interesting and I’ve already seen so many amazing reviews. The How and the Why sounds heartbreaking but also beautiful. I think it’s going to be of those books that stay with me forever.  

Only a breath apart cover - Summer TBROnly a Breath Apart by Katie McGarry: I’m not sure why I haven’t read this one yet. I’ve had it for nearly a year, but I just keep on forgetting I own it. But don’t worry, I’ll be reading it this summer for sure. Katie McGarry has never disappointed me, so I’m really looking forward to reading this. I know I’m going to love so much about it, 

The Ones Who Got Away (The Ones Who Got Away #1) by Roni Loren: I’ve been hearing such good things about this series for some time now, and I feel that I can finally pick it up. I think it’s going to tear me apart, but it’s also going to be so beautiful. And I needed to add a romance book to this list. 

The Lady Rogue by Jenn Bennett: Again this one I didn’t really need to think about. I love Jenn Bennett’s YA contemporaries and when I heard she was bringing out this YA historical fiction, fantasy. I knew I needed to add it to my TBR. But I haven’t been in a massive fantasy slump lately, so hoping I can dig into this. 
 
man cuffed cover - Summer TBR
 
Man Cuffed (Man Hands #4) by Sarina Bowen and Tanya Eby:This is one of the only Sarina Bowen books that I haven’t read it. And I can’t wait to get into it. This whole series is just so fun to read and I can’t wait to see more action. 
 
The Burning Shadow (Origin #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout:After the ending of the first book, I cannot wait to see where this story is taken. There is so much that could happen and it’s going to be really exciting to read. I really enjoy the world that Jennifer L. Armentrout has created and it’s going to be interesting seeing what’s going to happen next. 
 
girl out of water cover - Summer TBR
 
 
The Bookworm Crush by Lisa Brown Roberts:I hadn’t heard much about this book when I picked it up, but I think it’s the perfect summer read. This one sounds like it’s going to be fun, moving and just the book that I need to read in a pick me up. 
 
Girl Out of Water by Laura Silverman:I got this book way back in May when I was on my holiday and I just haven’t picked it up it. It’s going to be the perfect summer read and I cannot wait to get stuck into it. I already know that I’m going to love it and just, I’m so ready for something like this. 
 
 
 
And that is it for this week’s TTT. What are some of the books on your summer/winter TBR? Do we share any that’s the same? Let’s Chat!

    She really should change these themes to include both the norther and the southern hemispheres! Nice list.

    Nice list! I enjoyed WILDER GIRLS, but it’s definitely intense. ONLY A BREATH APART wasn’t as much of a hit for me. It just seemed heavy and melodramatic. Compelling, though. I liked it, didn’t love it. I hope you enjoy all these reads if and when you get to them. Enjoy your cruise!

    Happy TTT!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!

I just had a really good start to the year. While February is a little slow so far I’m looking forward to what I can pick up.

What did you read in January? Any 5-star reads? Let’s chat!
