THE ELEVEN BOOKS ON MY SUMMER TBR LIST I’D LIKE TO ENJOY

---

We are here, back at it with another seasonal TBR list. This go round it’s our Summer 2023 TBR.

LIST | SOME OF THE STORIES THAT LOOK LIKE SUMMERTIME IN A BOOK

🌴⛵☀️THE ELEVEN BOOKS ON MY SUMMER TBR LIST I’D LIKE TO ENJOY🌴⛵☀️ Talking some #SummerReading options! What's on your #TBR? #TopTenList #TopTen #Books #BookList #TopTenTuesday #SummerReads #SummerRead Share on X

The same “rules” apply to this years TBR as any year. The chances of me reading all or any of these is probably slim. But what I did with this list is include a selection of books I started to read and never finished in the hopes perhaps this will inspire me to at least finish these books. And I like to think maybe I’ll read one (or two) even if only as a kind of “make” myself read one. Plus, I genuinely think many of these sound really good, while others seem like they could be fun and quick reads to enjoy during those hazy humid summer days. Let’s meet the lineup.

SUMMER 2023 TBR

---

JULIETA AND THE ROMEOS, MARIA E. ANDREU

This one just looks cute. I’m not sure where I first saw it but am assuming it was through Goodreads when I was collecting book options for giveaway features. Or something of the sort. Goodreads

PICTURE PERFECT BOYFRIEND, BECKY DEAN

Yes this one was on my list two weeks ago (as is another one or two) but I mean, come on?? It looks super cute and someone on Instagram told me they liked Becky’s novel from last year, so… yeah. I’m curious. Goodreads

ALONG FOR THE RIDE, SARAH DESSEN

I mean this is an oldie release, but it’s one I started to read. I don’t know when exactly I started this one but I know I was reading it last summer because I had it with me on a trip. Here’s hoping I finally finish this. Update: Between writing this/formatting it and it publishing, I did finish this one. I’m leaving it on the list though to show I made an inch of progress. Goodreads

AN IMPROBABLE SEASON, ROSALYN EVES

This one follows a London season for a series of characters in Regency England. Goodreads

FAMOUS FOR A LIVING, MELISSA FERGUSON

Though I’ve seen more than one reader of Melissa’s books say her cover art (which is lighter and rom-com) and the story don’t really match (she writes more women’s fiction), I’m still curious. Her plots sound really interesting and her books are super popular in many ways. Plus I think it’s cool she’s grown her social medias so much. The cover looks very summer 2023 TBR fitting, too. Goodreads

DEAR HENRY, LOVE EDITH, BECCA KINZER

I’ve had this one a little while and it sounds really charming. Goodreads

QUEEN BEE, AMALIE HOWARD

Know almost nothing about this one outside of its synopsis of course. But it does sound like an interesting read and one that perhaps could be enjoyable. It has revenge as part of its plot which I don’t always like, but we’ll see how it shakes out – at least if I read the book. Goodreads

ONE TRUE LOVES, TAYLOR JENKINS REID

Adding this one because it’s been adapted into a feature film, and if I don’t first read the book (which has been on my shelf for eons), I probably won’t ever. Goodreads

THE HEART SHOT, EMILY SCHEIDER

Just saw this one, or recently, on Instagram and after some reading I thought it sounded good. Plus that cover is awfully cute, and it looks summer reading appropriate, too. Goodreads

AFTER SHE FALLS, CARMEN SCHOBER

When I started to read this I cannot say, but it’s been a long time. What I read I really like and I admire that it’s a different direction from the typical Christian fiction novel. Now I just have to get back into reading it. Update: Same as I mention about Sarah’s, I also finished this one. Got to leave it because even small progress is progress!! Goodreads

THE HAPPY LIFE OF ISADORA BENTLEY, COURTNEY WALSH

Courtney’s book looks like it would be a fun and cute read, so we’re hopeful it will be just this! Plus I think she describes the book as a happy read which is my cup of tea. Plus I had the book on preorder and recently got it so that’s a sign to read it, too, right? Goodreads
