Summer Reads

So as most of you are aware of, summer is officially here after the summer solstice a couple of days ago. This means that I have at least 3 months of free time to read before I start my second year of university. Except updating the blog, watching Netflix and getting a part time job, I have a lot of time to read books. This being said I do not read the fluffy, light, contemporary books that most people read instead I try to read the dense, high fantasy books. So without further ado, let's get started...

 1. Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien 

 The Lord of the Rings (The Lord of the Rings, #1-3)After trying to read this one two times before I really, really want to read this one although I am sure that I just do not like Tolkien and his writing. If I do not finish it this summer it might just be going to the charity shop...







2. A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin 

 A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1)OK, so I just need to read this one. I have not read these books and I have not watched the TV show so I just need to be immersed into this world. I don't know if I will like this one but I have to read this one... 







3. The Iron Traitor by Julie Kagawa

 The Iron Traitor (The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten, #2)This is the last book in the Iron Fey series and it came out in November and I have not read it yet. This is one of my favourite series so I really want to read it soon.








4. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

 Ready Player OneThis is a book that I have had for nearly a year, everyone really loves this book and the film is coming out so I really need to get to this one soon. 








5. The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin 

 The Retribution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #3)This is another series that I want to finish as it has been ages since I read the second book in this series. I think one of the reasons that I have not read it is the negative reviews but I should just look past them. 







6. Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi

 Ignite Me (Shatter Me, #3)Although I don't really love this series, I do just want to finish this series and see how it ends.









7. Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

 Amy & Roger's Epic DetourSo this is one of the actual summer reads on my list so I think the perfect time to read is summer. I have also never read a Morgan Matson book so this is the right time. 








8. Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas

 Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass, #3)I read Crown of Midnight last month so I really want to continue the series so I will probably read this when I have access to it. 








9. Wonder by R.J. Palacio

 WonderThis one has also been on my shelf for the longest time and with it being made into a film this is the perfect time to read this book. I have also heard nothing but good things. 








10. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

 To Kill a MockingbirdThis is a book that I am kind of ashamed that I had not read yet but hopefully it is one that I finally get to. 









11. Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen 

 Pride and PrejudiceI fell like summer is the time when I try and read the most classics and this is one that I really want to read since I have already started it anyway. 








12. Undivided by Neal Shusterman

 UnDivided (Unwind, #4)I love this series and I really, really want to finish it and to see where it goes. I have heard that it is on the emotional side, though... 








13. Fire Study by Maria V. Snyder 

 Fire Study (Study, #3)I have been reading the Poison Study series for the longest time so this summer is finally the time to read it.









14. Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

 Carry OnI love Rainbow Rowell and I enjoyed Fangirl so I don't know why I have not read this one yet, however, I am going to get to this one this summer. Hopefully...








15. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

 Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1)I enjoyed the Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo and actually preordered this one before it's release. I have loads of good things about this book and have lots of time, so I hope to get to this one. 







16. Gemina by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff 

 Gemina (The Illuminae Files, #2)I received an ARC of this book, so I really want to read this one but I want to reread Illuminae first. Just know you will see a review closer to the release...








So they are the books that I want to read in the summer. 

 What do you want to read in summer? Leave them in the comments below.

 See you soon, 

 Amy

Reviewing All Of The Books

Earlier this year, I decided that I would review all of the books that I read. For the most part, I definitely have but over the last couple of months it has definitely gone to the wayside but that is because I have been so busy. I wanted to do it because I annoyed myself that I reviewed books years after I read them and I often couldn't remember the plot. Trust me this is still the case, but I have kind of run out of books that I need to review this year which is weird for me. My backlog is getting lower and as I am not reading as much, I genuinely think I might run out. This has never happened before. This is of course quite nice because I think that it creates feelings that are much better than remembering a book from two years ago. Thinking about it at the moment does definitely make it easier as it goes into my head on a computer screen and less memory space is always a good idea. I also do think that sometimes it does take the fun out of it though but there are a lot of benef...

Over the course of the last year, I would like to think that I have done this and looking at did a good job considering I have been so busy over the last year. Even though I did actually have a plan of a book to read for almost all of the prompts, I did just wing it for the latter half of the year. This was because I was just reading what I wanted to and because I was not really reading at all.  So let's see what I read this year... A book that’s published in 2021    Book I Want To Read: Gut Feelings by C. G. Moore Book I Actually Read: Gut Feelings by C.G. Moore An Afrofuturist book Book I Want To Read: The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin  Book I Actually Read:  The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin A book that has a heart, diamond, club, or spade on the cover  Book I Want To Read: Heartbreak Boys by Simon James Green Book I Actually Read: Ace of Spades by Faridah À...
