Top Ten Tuesday - Summer TBR

This weekly frenzy of listing is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
I have a HUGE TBR list. This post could go on for a very long time. So I decided to narrow it down to books I know I will be reading this summer, and the books from my TBR list I am most excited about reading (as long as the library has them available. . .)

Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth (This is my book club book for July, so I know I'll get to this one soon.)
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (This is my book for July for the Birthday Month challenge.)
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion (I've been wanting to read this book since I first heard of it. Hopefully I get the chance to this summer!)
The Cracks in the Kingdom by Jaclyn Moriarty (I absolutely loved the first book in this series. Can't wait to read the second!)
The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen (I have a strange story about this book. Once I get a chance to read it, I'll tell you guys all about it.)

Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman (Again, LOVED the first book. Can't wait for the second!)
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel (There has been so much raving about this book! I just hope it lives up to the hype.)
A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan (I'm game for anything about dragons.)
The Year of Reading Dangerously by Andy Miller (It's a book about books. Need I say more?)
The Island of Dr. Libris by Chris Grabenstein (I loved, loved, LOVED Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library. And this one looks like it'll be just as good!)

I recommend the audiobook version of The Rosie Project. The actor who reads it is amazing. It's such a good book!

Thanks for the suggestion! It's so hard to tell which books will be good on audio. I'll have to check it out!

Once you've read the book of Call the Midwife you've GOT to watch the TV show. I love it! Granted I've only watched the first season so far... ;)

I loved Station Eleven! I really could have used a little less of some things and more of others, but nonetheless I really enjoyed it. :) The Year of Reading Dangerously sounds good! I will have to add it to my own giant TBR. Lol.

Well, that's a cryptic thought about Station Eleven. I'm sure it will be sense once I read it. :) I've heard a lot of people say they love it, so I'm sure I will, too!

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
