The month of June marks the end of the school year and the beginning of yet another summer vacation for many of us. While I believe that I have a strong passion for reading, I have not found enough time for this hobby. In fact, throughout the course of the school year, I have spent more time reading my science textbooks than the novels I used to spend hours immersed in. As a result, I have accumulated a far larger list of books for my TBR (To Be Read List). In today’s blog, I wanted to share a few notable books on this list with all of you and inspire you to read a little more this summer!
1. Circe by Madeline Miller
While I started this novel more than 8 months ago, I haven’t found the time to fully enjoy all that it has to offer. This summer break, I plan on restarting it while annotating. Hopefully, annotating and truly taking the time to enjoy it will allow me to reflect and enjoy it further.
2. Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas (Books 1 & 2)
Recommended by a close friend, I was instructed to go into the series with no knowledge of its premise. Therefore, this summer, I plan on reading the first two books that this series and truly understanding if it truly worth the hype.
3. An array of Colleen Hoover books including, November 9, Reminders of Him, Ugly Love and Confess
After reading It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover late last year, I fell in love with Hoover’s writing style. While I love reading YA fantasy, I had not experimented with contemporary. However, after reading her novel, I truly felt motivated to read some of her other books and broaden my range.
4. Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber
After reading her Caraval Series, I truly fell in love with her character and world building. Since it was my favorite series for a number of years, I was elated to hear that she had come out with a new series. Since this is the first installment in a new fantasy years, I am eager to read this book over the summer.
5. Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
This is a book that will truly allow me to broaden my range and step out of my comfort zone. While I mainly focus on YA fantasy, this book is a collection of poetry and prose. While it is unlike anything I have ever read, I truly believe that this will allow me to experiment and truly find another genre that I love!
That’s it! These were 5 of the top books on my Summer 2022 TBR! I truly hope that this blog helped inspire you to read and gave you additions that you can make to your own TBR lists!
