This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is: Ten Books I Plan To Have In My Beach Bag This Summer or Ten Books That Make Great Beach Reads. Since I’m not an authority on beach reads (I often end up reading something horribly depressing or re-reading Harry Potter when I’m on vacation), I’m going with the former. Subject to much change, here’s my current summer reading list!
In the Unlikely Event – Judy Blume
Funny Girl – Nick Hornby
All the Bright Places – Jennifer Niven
Girl At War – Sara Nović
So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed – Jon Ronson
The Knockoff – Lucy Sykes and Jo Piazza
Mr. Kiss and Tell – Rob Thomas and Jennifer Graham
Mosquitoland – David Arnold
The Argonauts – Maggie Nelson
And, of course:
To Kill A Mockingbird and Go Set A Watchman – Harper Lee
I think there are a few legit summer reads in there, anyway! What about you guys? Which books are topping your summer reading lists, and which books would you recommend for summer? Share in the comments!
I really want to read Mosquitoland. Great list!
I want to read the new Harper Lee, too! Plus, I loved Veronica Mars the tv show, so I should really get around to reading the book.

Yay for All The Bright Places! 🙂

I did the same thing as you, since I don't really read what most would consider “summer reads”, I just shared my current reading list.

Mosquitoland is one that I am really looking forward to reading this summer! I've only heard a few things about this one, but what I have heard has been great! Also, All the Bright Places is fantastic.

I've heard great things about the Veronica Mars novels — and I'm definitely intrigued by the cover to So You've Been Publicly Shamed. Great list!

Ooohh good list! I've been wanting to get to Mosquitoland for awhile now, and I really think you're going to love Girl At War. And obviously Judy Blume – can't wait for that one!
