This week I'm combining two weekly Tuesday memes:
Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Artsy Reader where each week they post a new top ten list and ask fellow bookish folk to share their lists on that topic.
This week the theme is: Books on My Summer 2025 to-Read List:
I read all the books from my Spring 2025 TBR, so yay!
Most on my list here will be releasing over the summer, but two are ones that have already released: The Widowmaker (Black Harbor #2) by Hannay Morrissey released in 2022 and One Fell Sweep by Ilona Andrews released in 2016, a re-read for a read-along hosted by Anne @Books of My Heart. I'm excited for each and every one of them!

And now for Tell Me Something Tuesday:
Tell Me Something Tuesday is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general. For info on TMST click HERE.
This week's topic:
How do you choose what to read next?
I make a list for each month where I note all the ARCs due and I try and keep up with that. I also try to squeeze in whatever library lends become available in between. I try not to accept/request too many ARCs so that I can read what I want, when I want. I do pretty well with not requesting books, however invites are harder to resist, but still, I'm pretty restrained for the most part.
What's on your Summer 2025 TBR and How do you choose what to read next?
I hope you enjoy reading all of these when you get the chance! As to how do I pick my next read. It depends if I have any ARCs I need to read. If not, I'll ask either my husband or my daughter to pick a book from my seasonal TBR.

Sounds like a fun way to pick you next read in between ARCs!
DeleteOhhhh a new Nalini Singh
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm excited for it!
DeleteI have lists for my Blog Tour books and Netgalley books too. I try to leave space, but then end up helping out on Blog Tours 🤣
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

DeleteWe read many of the same books. I'll be reading the Borgos, Singh, Ashley, and of course, Ilona Andrews. I've also got the next in series by Mur Lafferty, Jess Lourey, Ruth Ware, Charlie Donlea, Karen Rose, Karin Slaughter and Lisa Gardner.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart
We do! I want to check out the Charlie Donlea, Lisa Gardner and Karin Slaughter. I'm behind with the Gardner and Slaughter series so I need to read them first.
DeleteOh, you are so right about the invites being such a huge temptation. Nice summer reading plans. I'm reading The Blue Horse right now and its kicking off good.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for The Blue Horse! I wish I could drop everything and read it now!
