Top Ten Books for Summer 2012


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.


This week's TOP TEN:
Books on my TBR summer list




In High School, my summer reading list included books like Moby Dick, A Farewell to Arms, Grapes of Wrath and 1984. All great books. Probably. I only read about half of them. Shh, don't tell my English teachers, but yes...I used sparknotes. Guilty. That's because summer isn't for heavy reading. It is for fun, lightweight, entertaining and romantic books. Books that make you laugh, cry, and fall in love. 
  1. Rapture by Lauren Kate: Will Daniel and Luce finally get to be together forever or will fate tear them apart, this time for good?
  2. Endlessly by Kiersten White: Will Ellie and Lend workout their immortality issues? And will she get to wear pink to the prom?
  3. Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty: I've heard nothing but good things about this series. Why I haven't I read it? No clue. I'm going to change that this summer.
  4. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas: I just think this book is going to be amazing. 
  5. My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick: From what I've heard about this book, it has an adorable premise that I am pretty sure I will devour in one sitting. 
  6. Game of Thrones by George R.R Martin: Love the show. Have the book. Perhaps I should read it. 
  7. Where She Went by Gayle Foreman: I read If I Stay last summer and spent an hour crying in the pool. I think I am due for another good torrential downpour. 
  8. Flirting in Italian by Lauren Henderson: Italy, flirting, romance. This just screams -- SUMMERTIME READ! 
  9. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green: Confession, I've never read anything by John Green. Just started this one and am already hooked. I'm probably going to have to add all of the rest of his books to my summertime list. 
  10. Ten Things We Did by Sarah Mlynowski: Summer is the season for YA contemp. This is a book I've had waiting on my shelf and intend to finally read.  
My summer list could go on and on. And though I have great intentions of one day reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and Lolita by Tolstoy, they probably won't make the cut until about mid-october. What books made your top ten list? Even though my list is long, I could always add a few more...
