Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, join in the fun by answering the posted prompt.
This week our prompt is the Top Ten Books on Our Summer TBR List. I have to say, I have not thought terribly hard about what I am going to be reading this summer honestly. I used to whenever I was wrapping up a semester of grad school, college, high school and younger but now as an adult, I guess summer is for the most part like any other time of the year for me. The exception being that I get to spend more time with my daughter as we do let her stay up a little later during the summer than during the school year. :)
To me, summer reading is the optimum time for lighthearted reads usually. I think this summer though, I will be looking towards catching up on books I have purchased that I have not read. With that in mind, here is the list I believe I will be reading this summer:
2) Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins
3) The Elite by Kiera Cass
I read the first one years ago but never finished the series. So I am looking forward to reading all three of them this summer.
6) Of Poseidon and Of Triton by Anna Banks
8) Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan
10) Dark Mirror series by M. J. Putney
Speaking of summer reading lists--have you thought about joining the Summer Lovin' Read-a-Thon I am co-hosting coming up the week of July 1st? We have some FABULOUS prizes to give out!!
I will have to do a follow up post come September to see if I managed to read all of these titles or if I was enticed by something else entirely. What is on your summer TBR list? Do you view summer reading differently than other times of the year?
The Elite is on my list too!

:) I have been waiting to relax into it and with Summer Reading Program at the library kicking off, there has been a lot more to do. Thanks for stopping by today and commenting. I popped over to your spot--thanks for leaving the link! Happy Reading.
DeleteCan't go wrong with The Hunger Games!
ReplyDelete:) Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Happy Reading!
DeleteI loved Dark Triumph! Those are probably my favorite historical fiction novels ever. Excellent choices!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Grave Mercy so much--I gushed all over that book during my review. I agree--they are so well done!! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Happy Reading!
DeleteI work in a school, so I see summer as a great opportunity to catch up with what I've bought over the year! Great list. I hope you get round to reading them!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you get to catch up on what you have bought too. Happy Reading!
DeleteGood list, I love the Heroes of Olympus and if you love the Percy Jackson series you should love Heroes of Olympus series as well.
ReplyDeletePercy Jackson I really enjoyed so I am looking forward to continuing on with the series. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Happy Reading! :)
DeleteGreat top ten! Of Triton is on my TBR list too:) The Hunger Games series is amazing!

:) Happy Reading!
DeleteDARK TRIUMPH!!!! Yay! It's probably my newest favorite book! Darker Still looks beautiful, as do the Dark Mirror series books! I'll have to check these out!
ReplyDeleteI have been itching to read it--it may make the journey with me to ALA honestly. I am getting impatient with trying to find the time to snuggle in with it so the train ride to Chicago, may just be the right time. Happy Reading!
DeleteYou still haven't read The Hunger Games? Whoa. I thought everyone has read at least one of them. :P
ReplyDeleteGreat list Stephanie, I wonder what you'll think about Requiem. o:
My TTT
I have actually read the first one--but I need to re-read it as my Teen Lock In this fall is Hunger Games themed. :) Then, I will catch up on the last two as well.
DeleteHmm...that is very ominous about Requiem. Should I be nervous?
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Reading!
You have a good list going! I'm start the Percy Jackson series soon, so eventually I'll make it to the Heroes of Olympus. And I've been meaning to start the Delirium series too! Great books. :D

I really like Percy Jackson--I hope you do as well. I like Delirium but I admit I am nervous about Requiem as I have heard mixed reviews about it. Happy Reading!
DeleteGreat list! I love The Hunger Games and the Percy Jackson series, I hope you will too :)
ReplyDeleteMy (first!) TTT :)
Thanks! Welcome to TTT and thanks for stopping by today. Happy Reading!
DeleteI haven't seen any of the ones you've listed except for The Hunger Games (which I really hope you've read before). I was debating whether or not to read the trilogy again this summer, but decided to wait until November before the movie comes out.
ReplyDeleteI have read Hunger Games before but not since I bought the books. I am doing a Hunger Games themed lock in this fall at my library so I need to read them again to plan the event--or at least that is the excuse I am using. :-D Happy Reading!
DeleteI am just about to finish The Hunger Games Trilogy - I read book one years ago and never got around to reading the rest. I now read book one again and then went on with the series - these books are so GOOD! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
I'm the same--it has been awhile so it will be good to go back through and read the first one again and finish the series in time for the lock in this fall. Happy Reading!
DeleteI want to read so many on your list!! I'd love to do a reread of the entire Hunger Games series! :) And I really need to get started on the Heroes of Olympus series, I loved Percy Jackson!
ReplyDeleteSo did I, which is why I really need to get moving on the Heroes series. You should re-read Hunger Games with me this summer. :) Thanks for stopping by and Happy Reading!
DeleteHunger Games+Awesome!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy

Oh I will! LOL :) Thanks!! Happy Reading
DeleteThe Hunger Games series is awesome! :D I just took The Elite out of the library so I'll definitely be reading it soon. The Dark Mirror series looks really interesting, I'll have to check it out in the future.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten
:) Yay for The Elite. I have not seen it back on my library's shelf since I put it there-which is a great thing! I love sharing great books with my library users. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Reading!
DeleteOooh, some great series to read this summer! Read Delirium first!
ReplyDeleteOh, and here's my list: http://suchanovelidea.wordpress.com/2013/06/18/top-ten-tuesday-3/
I am not sure which I will get to--It may be Dark Triumph on the train to Chicago. :) I liked Delirium but I admit, I am nervous to read Requiem. I hope it enjoy it as much. Happy Reading!
DeleteThe Heroes of Olympus series are some I need to read someday. Have fun with the Hunger Games books. The first 2 are really good! Have a great Summer!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Tuesday Post.
Thanks Jay! Happy Reading to you.
