Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature/meme now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. The meme was originally the brainchild of The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is Books on My Summer 2025 to-Read List.

I have a lot of ARCs to read this summer, as well as a smattering of other books I want to read for their own sake. I’m pretty sure I won’t get to all of these, but if I can manage more than half, I’ll be happy.

It was hard to keep the list down, tbh. But I know I probably won’t even get to all of these before the official end of summer, so I couldn’t justify adding more.

Several of these are on my TBR also! (Though maybe not my official summer TBR list.) Though I suppose a few of them will take a while since I need to read book on in their series before I can move on… 😉

My overall TBR list has a lot of books and series like that, too, where I need to read one or more of the earlier books first. I’m caught up on most of the series in my Summer TBR list, with the exception of the Mur Lafferty series; I do need to read book 2.

The Library Game looks so fun! And I also really want to read the new Ally Carter and the new Sangu Mandanna. So many good books out there to read, so little time. Good luck with your list! 😀

I really enjoyed The Library Game and I’m so excited about the Sangu Mandanna. I loved the first book. This is a good selection and I see several that I have on my shelves (or my Kindle). Happy reading!
