Top Ten Tuesday #19


 
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
 
This week is our Top Ten beach reads! However, I'm not a beach person. Sand gets all over me, I can't swim, and I need to wear SPF 100 sunscreen. When you have glow in the dark, translucent skin like me, sun is the enemy. I've gotten burnt after being outside for 15 minutes. No joke. Because of this I tend to stay inside to prevent getting skin cancer. When I think of beach reads, I just think of books you happen to read at a beach, so my list will be books that I really want to read this summer!
 
10.
These Broken Stars (Starbound, #1)
I've seen some mixed reviews for this book, but it sounds really interesting. Plus the cover is super pretty. I want that dress.
 
9.
Rise of the Arcane Fire (The Secret Order, #2)
I checked this book out a few months ago, but then I got super busy so I didn't have time to read it. I read the first book about two years ago, so I hope I remember enough!
 
8.
The Girl of Fire and Thorns (Fire and Thorns, #1)
I bought this after hearing good things, so maybe I'll finally get around to it this summer!
 
7.
Scarlet (Scarlet, #1)
I liked Robin Hood as a kid, so I really want to read this retelling where Will Scarlet is actually a girl. Sign me up!
 
6.
Deliverance (Defiance, #3)
I read and loved the first two of this trilogy, so I really need to read this one. I've been having trouble getting it from my library, but maybe things will finally work out this summer!
 
5.
Shadow and Bone (The Grisha, #1)
I've heard great things about this book, so I bought it a few months ago. Can't wait to read it!
 
4.
The Cage (The Cage, #1)
I can't wait to read this as I loved The Madman's Daughter trilogy! And it's exciting because it's released today!
 
3.
Stone Cold Touch (The Dark Elements, #2)
The third book is coming out in July, so I want to read this one before it comes out to make sure I remember everything!
 
2.
Origin (Lux, #4)
I bought this book when it first came out, but I haven't read it yet. I'm so excited to read the last two books, but I don't want this series to end!
 
1.
A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1)
People are RAVING about this book! I can't wait to finally get my hands on it! Hopefully it will help distract me from waiting impatiently for Queen of Shadows!

So these are just ten of the books that I would like to read this summer. It's not guaranteed that I'll read these ten, but I hope to use the list as a helpful tool to keep me on track and work on tackling that giant TBR pile!
