Summer Reads

beachreadingMemorial Day has come and gone, and in the U.S. that means summer is here! It’s my second favorite season (fall always comes first), and a time I just want to read, read, read.

I don’t often create a strict summer to-read list, but there are some books I’m determined to get to in the next few months! They include:

  • How to Love a Jamaican by Alexia Arthurs  (thanks to an ARC from Ballantine Books!)
  • Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
  • Welcome to Lagos by Chibundu Onuzo (thanks to an ARC from Catapult!)
  • The Map of Salt and Stars by Jennifer Zeynab Joukhadar (gotta get my hands on a copy!)
  • Born a Crime by Trevor Noah
  • Puddin’ by Julie Murphy
  • To Kill A Mockingbird (my almost annual reread, going strong for the past 10 years or so)

Those are just some on the list, which is definitely subject to change. I’m hoping to average about four books a month, with a goal of 12 by September.

Do you have any summer reading goals or must-reads!?
