Top Ten Books On My Summer TBR List

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's topic is:  Top Ten Books on My Summer TBR List

Oh my goodness!  There are so many books on my summer TBR list.  It's a little out of control!  Here are a few that I hope to get through this summer.

1.) The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead-I am so ready to find out what's going on with the Vampire Academy gang!
2.) Insurgent by Veronica Roth-I didn't love Divergent but I am still very curious as to what will happen in this book.
3.) City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare-I can't quit this series even though the last book was pretty meh.
4.) Frankenstein by Mary Shelley-I definitely want to read some classics this summer and for some reason I have never read this.
5.) The Scarlet Pimpernel by Emmuska Orczy-Another classic to read this summer.
6.) Ada or Ardor by Vladimir Nabokov-I have put off reading this for far too long.  It is like a nagging thorn in my side so I am going to finish it this summer.
7.) The Death of Ivan Ilyich and other stories by Lev Tolstoy-I love Tolstoy and this has been on my shelf for a while. 
8.) A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin-Why have I still not read this????
9.) Twilight in Russian-I really need to practice my Russian language skills.  I am hoping to take a class in the Fall and this should help me prepare a bit.
10.) The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett-I am not sure if I will get to this one.  I have a lot of other books to read this summer and it may be ambitious of me to think I will get to this one.

That's a portion of my summer reading list.  What do you really want to read this summer?  Are there any new releases you are excited about?

  1. The Pillars Of The Earth is actually a quick read, like once you start it you won't want to set it down.

    ALSO Game Of Thrones, that book is legit and fantastic.

    AND OOOO The Golden Lily! I loved that book!

  4. I forgot to put "Pillars of the Earth" on my list and I just picked it up from the library so I'll have to get to that one. You have a few I need to add to my list :)

  5. I love that you included a classic on your list! When you're done Frankenstein you should read Kenneth Oppel's This Dark Endeavor if you haven't already--it's Dr. Frankenstein as a teenager and it is fabulous!

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over

Top Ten Books I Recommend The Most

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic:  Top Ten Books I Recommend the Most 1.) The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons   2.) Outlander by Diana Gabaldon           If you read my blog at all, you know I love these two books so much!  I am not afraid to suggest them to anyone who I think might enjoy them. 3.) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - I was definitely recommending this book left and right when the first movie came out. 4.) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green 5.) A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin           These are two books that I just recently started recommending but they are books that can appeal to anyone so they are easy picks when someone asks for a recommendation. 6.) Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead  - I get a little embarrassed when I recommend this book to people but seriously, just because it has vampires does not mean it is like Twilight. 7.) The Giver by Lois

Book Blog Hop (11)

The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books .  It's a way to meet other bloggers and check out some cool new blogs. This week's question is:  "Highlight one book you have received this week that you can't wait to dig into!" Okay, I have a confession to make.  I have been so busy this week that I have not had time to get any new books.  I have several waiting for me at the library but I won't be able to pick them up until this weekend.  : ( Did you all get any exciting new books this week?
