Summer Reading List

Here are some books I am hoping to read this Summer. Of course, there is a good chance I won't get to read so many, and I will probably read some not on this list, especially considering that a lot of those I own as ebooks, but have to read on my computer, I would much prefer sitting outside! (I guess this should be called a list of books I am hoping to read in the near future)

This list is also only of books that I have access to right now, whether I own them as hardcover, digital copies, galleys, or from the library. It does not take into account books I might buy, and new releases. So basically it is a VERY non-official list!


  1. The Penderwicks at Point Mouette (The Penderwicks #3), by Jeanne Birdsall
  2. The Dark and Hollow Places (Forest of Hands and Teeth #3), by Carrie Ryan
  3. Ascendant (Killer Unicorns #2), by Diana Peterfreund
  4. Welcome to Bordertown, ed. by Holly Black & Ellen Kushner (short stories)
  5. Geektastic, ed. by Holly Black & Cecil Castellucci (short stories)
  6. Finnikin of the Rock, by Melina Marchetta
  7. My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me, ed, Kate Bernheimer (short stories)
  8. Stories, ed. by Neil Gaiman (short stories)
  9. The Bird Sisters, by Rebecca Rasmussen
  10. Enchanted Ivy, by Sarah Beth Durst

  2. Steel, by Carrie Vaughn
  3. The Iron Thorn, by Caitlin Kittredge
  4. Willful Creatures, by Aimee Bender (short stories)

  6. The Collector, by John Fowles
  7. Playing With the Grown-Ups, by Sophie Dahl
  8. The Girl With Glass Feet, by Ali Shaw
  9. Black Juice, by Margo Lanagan (short stories)
  10. The Secret Circle series, by L. J. Smith


  1. The Book of Three, by Lloyd Alexander
  2. Clarity, by Kim Harrington
  3. Stanger Things Happen, by Kelly Link (short stories)
  4. The Near Witch, by Victoria Schwab
  5. The Mysterious Benedict Society, by Trenton Lee Stewart
  6. Unwind, by Neal Shusterman

    I actually have not read many of these! But I did love secret circle - it is a nice easy read to escape into after a crazy day.

    This summer I am planning to read all of the books on my bookshelf that I bought who knows how long ago and have yet to read.. before I buy a single book or go to the library I will finish all of them.

    Hehe I have only read two of these books: The Graveyard Book and The Mysterious Benedict Society. Both of them were WONDERFUL and I'm certain you will enjoy them. I am also hoping to read Geektastic some time in the near future. Happy reading! x

    I love The Mysterious Benedict Society! I need to re-read those books.

    Since I read so much anyway, I don't have much of an official summer reading list. I am planning on reading Little Dorrit and The Woman in White because those are two classics I haven't gotten around to reading. Also, other books in my sister's library that I haven't read yet.

    I read the Penderwicks at Point Mouette recently. It was sweet. :) The only other book I've read on here is the Mysterious Benedict Society. That's a great series.
    Some of these others look good, just from their covers, so I'll have to see about that the next time I go to the library. I already have a few I need to read first, though. :)
