My Summer Reading List

 

 

Hey guys!

 

As I have finished all my exams and university work, I have plenty of time to read for pleasure. There are many books I want to read and here are the ones I am planning to read this summer:

 

 

1. The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants

I've actually finished this book (already!) and it's quite good.


2. Stolen

I'm reading this book at the moment and I find it so hard to put down!


3. Bright Young Things

This has been on my list for a while and I'm planning to read it after Stolen. I love the cover. Bright Young Things is by the same author as The Luxe, a book I enjoyed reading a few years ago.

4. The Host

I've read pretty much all of Stephenie Meyer's books except this one. The Host is such a huge book so I keep putting it off! However, it's been on my shelves for quite a while so I'm going to read it this summer.


5. Safe Haven

I loved The Last Song so I've been keen to read another Nicholas Sparks book. Safe Haven looks like quite a good book and I want to see the film.


6. Ash

Ash is a retelling of Cinderella but it's very different since the protagonist falls in love with a huntress rather than the prince. It sounds like an unusual book and I'm looking forward to reading it.

7. The Summer I Turned Pretty

Seems like a good summer book.


8.  Entangled

This is quite a dark book. I was drawn to it by the cover.


9.Ransom My Heart

I've been waiting so long to read Ransom My Heart!

10. Torn

Another book I've wanted to read for a while, and the second book by Cat Clarke I'll be reading this summer.


11. Perfect Chemistry

I guess this is kind of like a modern version of West Side Story. It's about a girl who falls in love with a gang member.


12. The Miniaturist

This book looks so good! It's set in Amsterdam in the late 17th century.

13. The Invention of Wings

The Secret Life of Bees is one of my favourite books. I'm keen to read one of Sue Monk Kidd's other works. I love the cover of The Invention of Wings.


14. Easy

I haven't read many new adult / college books, only Losing It, but it's a genre I want to read more of.


15. Emma

I've read most of Jane Austen's books apart from Emma and Mansfield Park. I want to read Emma first as I quite like the story (and I absolutely love Clueless!).

16. The Scorch Trials

After reading The Maze Runner, I was aching to find out what happens next to Thomas and the other boys (and girl). I'm so glad there's a sequel! Can you believe I still haven't seen the film?!


17. Romiette & Julio

Modern retelling of Romeo and Julio? Yes please!


18. Where She Went

This is a sequel to Gayle Forman's brilliant If I Stay. It's told in Adam's point of view. It would be interesting to see what has happened since the accident.

19. Sister, Missing

I must've read Girl, Missing over seven years ago! I'd definitely like to read the sequel!


20. Before Midnight

This is a retelling of Cinderella and it looks like something I'd enjoy.


21. Solace of the Road

This has been on my to-read list for ages! I was just searching this book on Google to find images and I didn't realise there was a stage production of it! Rebecca Ryan, who played Vicky McDonald in Waterloo Road stars as the main character! I wonder if I could still see it after I've read the book!


22. Every Day

Every Day sounds really unusual. It's about a boy who wakes up in a different body every day. Strange!



I realise that 22 is a lot of books to read in just under four months, but I should get through most of these books :D What books are you planning to read this summer? Have you read any of the ones I have mentioned? What did you think of them?


Hasta luego!
