Your Summer Reading Preview

I will be rereading some of my favorite classics including Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, Vanity Fair, Middlemarch, Anna Karenina, The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring. My new to me read will be the Lark Rise to Candleford trilogy.

I am planning on catching up on my to-read shelf at home, it just keeps growing anytime I go to a bookstore, to of the list is Women of the Otherworld by Kelley Armstrong and maybe some Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth books, along with a very random assortment of other books off my shelves. If I can get in about four books a week for the months of July and August I would be very happy, as I would almost finish my reading goal for the year.

I want to read some bigger books that require more attention since I won't be distracted by school or work - I'm thinking FALL OF GIANTS, BELGRAVIA and maybe ANNA KARENINA

My reading current reading project is catching up on all Laurell K. Hamilton 's Anita Blake Series.

But I am super excited for Sabaa Tahir's A Reaper at the Gates coming out next month!! Ahhhhhhhhhh~

I read IT by Stephen King and Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell in the past year. I had to take extended breaks from reading after finishing those books lol

The only thing coming out in the summer months I'll be picking up will be the paperback edition of "A Column of Fire" and "The Fall of Gondolin."

I’ve been reading Proust’s IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME—one volume per summer (or longer as this is not speed reading material). This summer I will tackle Vol 5 in the MODERN CLASSICS version. My schedule this summer is somewhat more busy than usual so this will probably go into Fall or early Winter.

I calculated in order to read all of books listed on "The Great American Read on PPS" in a good about of time for myself (two a month) it would take me a little over four years.



Guess I wont be doing that.

Over the summer, I'm hoping to catch up on The Expanse's second volume Caliban's War and beyond!

Beautiful book.
I wish I had not read it and I experienced that feeling again....

Oh man, I literally just added this to my to-read list. Is it any good so far? I'm really looking forward to reading it!

You have such a fun journey ahead of you! Wish I could read the dark tower series, and indeed many of Stephen King's books, for the first time again.

Just FYI though, you absolutely do not need to read the other books with ties to the dark tower series. It's a nice bonus for sure, but by no means necessary to enjoy it. So you can just make the decision based on how much reading you have the patience and want for. There is so much one would like to read, after all. Not just Stephen King, but lots of other authors as well.

Thanks. You just relieved my fear of this book. I can't wait!

My goal over the summer is to read a large collection of books by Sharon Creech!

My big summer reading project will be Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I have been working on this book for quite some time and this summer is dedicated to just this book.

I read one epic-length book every year starting on the first day of summer. War..."

I love Les Miserables!

My summer reading project is to finish the Popsugar Reading Challenge! This is a great option for people who want a reading challenge with a shorter duration.

Enjoying reading everyone’s comments! Good ideas for Summer Reading! Thanks!

My big summer reading project will be Little Monsters

A friend and I plan to read a children's classic together. Still in the decision stage.

What happened to the website? This is atrocious!

I'll be reading The Columbus Code (Mike Evans), The Empowered (Craig Parshall), and re-reading The Gathering Storm (Bodie Thoene) plus anything new by Joel Rosenberg whenever it comes out! Jessie

I want to start reading the Game of Thrones series. Just received the first five books as a birthday present.

Well.. its actually Winter time in Australia, thanks Goodreads for remembering all the readers below the equator. Haha

It is my first time using

In June, I'll start off with books that got the Stonewall Honor Award, like Pink by Lili Wilkinson, followed by Will Grayson, Will Grayson by David Levithan & John Green; then I'll probably read Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson, and It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini.

July - August, I'll try to read 4 - 7 books that involve student-teacher relationships: DC Trip by Sara Benincasa, One Summer by Karen Robards, Tampa by Alissa Nutting, Innocents by Cathy Coote, Boy Toy by Barry Lyga, Consent by Nancy Ohlin, and Flanders Point by Jacquie Gordon.

My summer project is to finish reading Jane Austen ''Mansfield Park''.

I read it recently and I really liked it. Enjoy.

Peter wrote: "My summer project this year is Silmarillion. It's a heavy one, but it's good, so far."

I've read it a number of time and enjoyed it each time I read it.

I'll be reading the Harry Potter series this summer :D

Christy wrote: "I am going to try Pride and Prejudice. I've never read it and have heard so much about it that I think this will be one that I would like to read. I also need to catch up on my book pledge."

It's one of my favourite books - funny, witty and engaging. Hope you enjoy it :)

Patrick wrote: "I am going to read Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra this summer along with a few other books." I love that one, it's great that you are going to read it.

my summer reading will consist of rereading donna tartt's novels !! i'm currently reading the little friend, and i'll tackle the goldfinch and the secret history during the summer months.

Nichole wrote: "My big summer reading project will be War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy."
Awesome, Nichole! Best decision I ever made. My favorite book.

My book of the summer is Middlemarch by George Eliot. I noticied it was mentioned in other media a TV show, book and movie. I thought I must seek this book out! I have finished part 1 of 3. Wish me luck.

Amanda wrote: "I'm planning on (finally) reading the Hobbit and the LOTR trilogy! I keep telling myself I'll read it and I think now is finally the time." Hobbit's fun, but (personally) Narnia's a better read . . .

Reading the Lemony Snicket series all the way through! (Currently reading The Ersatz Elevator)

Jennifer wrote: "I am going to read Outlander on my kindle while I am on holiday in June."

I've read Outlander but I want to try and get as far through the series as I can. I can only read it during the holidays/when I'm off work as I was up past 1am finishing the first one. Make sure you've got the second book ready to go!

There are so many books that I would like to read that the list would be endless.

However, I would really like to finish reading The Railway Children and then try a bit of Charles Dickens with David Copperfield and Hard Times.

Finishing up my "bookfast", or only reading those books I've never read but had on my shelves for years. Gormenghast. Madonna in a Fur Coat--a Turkish novel, rediscovered only recently, whose author was assassinated shortly after the book was published. Books by Sebastian Barry and Colson Whitehead.
