How is it almost summer already? Summer is usually when I get my best reading done, and I can tell that will be true this year as well! I am flying through books this month, and I am loving every second of it.
There are a lot of books I would love to read this summer, both backlist and new releases, and not all of them will be on this list!
Do these covers not scream summer!? I cannot wait to read this cozy mystery series by the pool or one the beach, maybe while eating an ice cream cone. There is something about cozy mysteries that seem like the perfect summer reads. I also love the cat on the covers! I have a feeling I am going to have a lot of fun with these.
The Heart Principle doesn’t come out until August 31st, but that is still summer and it is one of my most anticipated books of the year! It feels as though I have been waiting for it for ages. The Kiss Quotient and The Bride Test are two of my favourite romances and this third book follows one of my favourite characters. I cannot wait for Quan’s love story!
Redemptor is another August release, and one I have countdown on my phone for! I would actually love to read the first book, Raybearer, before the sequel comes out. I know I haven’t been quiet about my love for Raybearer, so don’t be surprised to see me gushing about this one as soon as I get my hand on a copy!
I have had Accidentally Engaged for awhile now but have been saving it for the summer. I just picture myself reading it outside in the sun! I have this feeling I am going to adore it. It has so many of the romance tropes that I love- it is fake dating and there is a food competition! What more could I ask for!?
I recently read The Bone Witch and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The magic is fascinating to me and the first book was really a set up for the rest of the series. It ended in quite a cliffhanger and I cannot wait to see what happens!
I read and loved Jade City earlier this year and I refuse to let years go by before I read the sequel, which is normally my pattern. Especially since the third and final book, Jade Legacy, is supposed to be released at the end of the year! I need to be back in this world and to see what happens to these characters.
I feel as though I have put Blonde on so many of my TBRs! I really do want to read it. Marilyn Monroe and I share a birthday and I have always been drawn to her. Plus there is a movie adaptation and I have wanted to read something by Joyce Carol Oates!
Kazuo Ishiguro wrote two of my favourite books of all time, Never Let Me Go and Klara and the Sun, so of course I want to read everything he has ever written. I do own The Remains of the Day and I have heard incredible things about it!
I recently purchased Uzma Jalaluddin’s newest release, but I would really love to read her debut first! I have owned Ayesha at Last since it came out and it is a Pride and Prejudice retelling set in Toronto. I really should have read this by now! Seems like a perfect book for summer though.
I will actually be reading My Contrary Mary for my monthly buddy read on Instagram! I absolutely loved My Lady Jane, but, typical me, I never continued on with the series. That said, I am so excited to see what this author trio does with famous Marys! This first book follows Mary Queen of Scots, who I adore!
I have plans to read more than this during the next few months, but these are the books I hope to prioritize! What are some books you hope to read this summer?
You can find these books in my Amazon Storefront or my Bookshop.org Shop. I do receive a small commission if you purchase one of these books using my link!

Great TBR!
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
What a fun list! I have My Lady Jane but haven’t read it yet. I also didn’t know it was a series!
It is such a fun book. A perfect summer read! Each of the books follow a different famous Jane!
Ooh that’s a lot of books! Good luck ❤️
Thank you!
I hope you enjoy all of these books!

We can’t wait to read My Contrary Mary.
I was so excited when it was chosen for the buddy read!
Great list! I loved Jade War, and I really need to get to The Bone Witch and Raybearer. Happy reading!
Same to you!
I have been loving fantasy lately!
A great list! I hope to read Harry Quebert’s affair and maybe Notre Dame de Paris, they are waiting on my bookshelf from a long time!
I hope you love Jade War! I enjoyed it even more than Jade City
I love hearing that!
Some great books! Enjoy your reads 📚
Thank you!
Happy reading! I think you’ll enjoy Ayesha!
I think so too! I’ve actually decided to pick it up today!
I hope you will enjoy all of these!
My list!
Thank you!
I am very curious about those cozy mysteries – they seem perfect for summer (I mean, ice cream?!) and I do love cozies.

Aren’t they so fun?!
All of these books look absolutely amazing! I just added a few of them to my TBR
Awesome! I’m so glad!
“Game of Cones”–snort! Love that. I’ve read, enjoyed, and reviewed Remains of the Day and Ayesha at Last. Enjoy!
Isn’t that so clever?! 😂
I just started Ayesha at Last and I’m already enjoying it!
It was good!
I want to read so many of these books. I have Jade City on my list for this summer and hoping to get to it soon! I hope you get to so many of these. 🙂
My TTT!
This looks like a great mix of reading, you’ve got fun, dark, and classic. I loved Ayesha at Last, so I hope you like it. I’ve heard great things about Raybearer and The Bone Witch sounds very good.
I just started Ayesha at Last and I’m already enjoying it so much!
I need to read the Jane books, but the Mary book looks amazing too. I love those ice cream covers — perfect for summer!

My Lady Jane really took me by surprise!
I cannot wait to read the ice cream books by the pool!
The Heart Principle!!! YESSS
Right!? I cannot believe it is almost here!
Happy reading! The Bone Witch series is one of my favorites – I hope you enjoy the rest of it. 🙂
I can completely see why! I have a feeling the second book is going to be even better!
Thank you for the list ❤❤

I completely forgot about The Heart Principle, it’s so hard to keep up with new releases sometimes 😂 great TBR, by the way!
There are so many amazing releases this year! It’s impossible to keep track!
Yes- Summertime is reading time
Exactly!
