10 OF THE BOOKS ON MY SUMMER 2026 TBR
Each new season brings with it the task of putting together a seasonal TBR list. This week we look at the Summer 2026 TBR options. Titles that are probably good, but unlikely to actually be read during these summer months. So, let’s see what I can find.
LIST | THE BEST THINGS TO WATCH LIKE ‘VOICEMAILS FOR ISABELLE’
10 OF THE BOOKS ON MY SUMMER 2026 TBR. A look at the #SummerTBR titles I would ideally like to read (but probably won’t). Share on XSome of the titles I’m including are books that are about to be or have been adapted as films and the hope is that by continuing to add them to my TBRs, I will finally read them. Others are just titles that I’m randomly adding just because and also titles that I’ve had for too long and continue to want to read but never do.

Linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl June 23: Books on My Summer 2026 To-Read List
I hope you find time for at least one or two!
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
I plan to at least get The Bodyguard read because a film is supposed to release at some point! And I also remembered that Paris is Always a Good Idea has been adapted, so I should have added that one too! :)
I hope you enjoy reading all of these whenever you get the chance.
Here’s my TTT for this week: https://readbakecreate.com/summer-2026-tbr-ten-books-i-hope-to-read/
Thanks! Hope so too. :)
I hope you love them all, Rissi!
Thanks! I hope so too. :)
A Cute Little Murder sounds good! I hope you enjoy your reads!
I think so too! Love the title. :)
Enjoy Little House on the Prairie. Will you be watching the new TV show, too?
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.. Thank you!
I will for sure be watching (and I’m quite curious about it!). I don’t know that I’ve ever read the book but am hopeful both are good. How about you?
Yes, I think I might! I’ve only seen bits and pieces of the 1970s adaptation, but I liked the books as a kid.
I cannot remember if I’ve read the books or not, but I just ordered the book that S1 is based on. And though many are already saying this 2026 adaptation is straying too much from the source, I’ve seen others say that the 70s version took lots of liberties too. :)
i hope you get to read them all – and that you love them all too :) My TTT
I hope so too, Carrie! :)
I have at least one on my list that I have shared over and over again, and still haven’t read it…maybe this will be the summer I do, LOL! Have a great week!
We bookworms always remain hopeful, right? ;)
100% LOL. I realized last night it was a book I just put on my spring list as well…and the only one I didn’t read.
I don’t even go back (99% of the time) to look at my current seasonal TBRs. I know they’re all epic failures. ;)
Well, IF I remember, then I will check, but here the past few times, nope, can’t seem to remember to do it, LOL. Too much else taking up residence in my brain.
Right? so many other things occupying our time – and the things that don’t take time, well, we’d likely rather read. ;)
The Bodyguard was super cute! I hope you enjoy it! Happy Reading!
It looks and sounds SO cute! Hope I enjoy it too. :)
I hope you enjoy these when you get around to them!

Thanks I hope so too.
One of these days I’m going to have to try Lynn Painter. Thanks for sharing and enjoy!
And sometime I need to read more of hers! :)
I enjoyed A CUTE LITTLE MURDER. I’m also a big Center fan, although I’ve only read a handful of her books so far. I hope you enjoy all these!
Happy TTT!

SO glad to know someone enjoyed A Cute Little Murder! That one does look and sound so fun. And I hope to read more of Center’s novels at some point. :)
I love how we have a few picks in common! Stars, Stripes & Summer Nights looks really cute. I don’t read YA much anymore, but this one sounds really fun! Definitely Maybe Not a Detective is on my wish list. I just received the second book in the series for review, so I need to get on this one soon! My Best French Wedding is on my tbr, too. It looks like a lovely summer read. Hope you enjoy all of these!
I don’t read a lot of YA anymore either. But once in a while I enjoy reading on because it’s mostly “feel good fluff” which I feel like is overall my favorite type of story. :) Hope you enjoy the sequel to ‘Detective’ and we both like Amanda’s too! :)
Good luck and have fun!
Thanks. :)
I’m hoping to read the Katherine Center and Lynn Painter books this summer too! I hope you have a great summer reading season!
Same here! I liked the books I’ve read by these authors. :)
