What books are on your summer reading list this year?

So this summer im playing catchup on Sarah Maas's Throne of Glass series. Love heroines in fantasy. Hard to find a good bad ass heroine thats not super anniying.
But my list also includes a new author Allegra Pescatore's Where Shadows Lie. Then on to my curiosity about all the hype: Red, White and Royal Blue. Its not often an LGBT book makes the best seller list and gets so much publicity. Im down! Then next on my list is Coffee-to-Go by Grayson Bell and Winter Rising by Richard Amos. One is a lgbt romance and the second is a action adventure. Excited to finally rest with a good book this summer after I graduate in May. (less)
