Summer TBR

Hey, everyone! Summer started for me at the beginning of May, but I decided that I wanted to make a 40 book TBR. I sat down and wrote down lists which made me so happy. My TBRs are incredibly tentative because I'm a mood reader, but these are the books that I'm attracted to the most/have the most interest in. I don't expect to read all of these books and it's important to keep in mind that that I also have ARCs to read, but these are 20 physical books that I own and 20 audiobooks that I am really excited for.
PHYSICAL TBR:
1729374 12977531 34932165 30983474 11567 10644930 36590103 7723 762103 23437156 5485  17899351 411321 2896442 20821614 18490533 29236299 24388326 21853636 21469098
I wrote out this list mid-May and so far I've only made progress with two novels on this list. I'm about halfway through Child of the Prophecy and I'm loving it! I can't believe it took me two years to pick up the sequels to the Sevenwaters trilogy. I'm also listening to the audiobook for The Diviners and I'm loving it so much! I feel as if I'm in 1920s New York.

AUDIOBOOK TBR:
35890397 40389527 25489061 7095420 19547856 7806720 1812457 22552026 18879761 33385229 16331 29875363 22840421 18594594 19486412 19549841 33230889 17851885 5096865 35959740
I've finished rereading It. I gave it 5 stars. The audiobook was a wild ride and it enhanced my second reading experience. I listened to The Woman in the Window and gave it 4.25 stars. When I got to chapter 75 this went from 3 star to a 4 star reading and the ending sealed the deal for me. It's a well-done thriller. I listened to Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and it was a cute story, but I couldn't be bothered with it if I'm being honest. The writing is simple and the story is important, but I didn't like the characters very much. I rated it 3 stars. I listened to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and gave it 5 stars. I've never read the Chronicles of Narnia series, but this was so much fun and I loved it so much. Long Way Down is narrated by Jason Reynolds and it is only 2 hours long. It was an amazing experience and the story touched my heart. I gave it 5 stars. I've read In Cold Blood before and it's one of my favorite novels.

What books are you planning to read this summer? Have you read any of these novels? Which ones do I need to read ASAP? Let me know down below in the comments!

  1. I want to read some of these too! But then, I've been saying I want to read them for a long time and still haven't gotten to them because I'm also a mood reader lol. But I really do want to read Six of Crows and The Diviners. (I love 1920s setting!)

    1. Same! Being a mood reader is so much fun, but also it sucks because it takes forever to get to the books I've been meaning to read for years. I just finished The Diviners and I 100% give it my seal of approval! I highly recommend the audiobook and I know that you were looking for good ones in the genre and this one was fantastic!
