Summer Reading List: REAL, GROWN-UP BOOKS!

Well, the time has come.
My baby is one and FINALLY sleeping through the night! (phew!)
I am sleeping through the night (mercifully!)
And I, although working part-time from home, will start reading again this summer. 
Can. Not. Wait!

I have compiled a list of books I can't wait to read over this summer...
and hope to post reviews for each of them.
I've linked up to their Amazon page, if you're interested in reading  an overview of each book (but it's of no financial benefit to me, fyi).
Join me?

The List






Shout Her Lovely Name by Natalie Serber (short story collection)





But my list is certainly not complete. And I'm taking suggestions ...
What is on your MUST READ list this summer?

  1. I read Sara's Key and it was amazing. Also heard a movie is in the works.

    1. I can't wait to read it! Although the movies are generally a letdown for me:(

  2. Are you buying all the books? Borrowing? Ebook? Ebook borrow?
    Just curious. It's expensive to buy, libraries for both ebook and physical can have long wait lists. Wondering your method.

    1. it's a complicated and well thought out method.
      Borrow Sara's Key from my sister.
      Put my name on the wait list at the library for all the others and...as luck would have it, no one in my area goes to the library because I already have Room and should be getting The Night Circus really soon.
      Shout Her Lovely Name is being sent to me by the publicist for the book.

      Told you, complicated:) I stopped buying books because I read them so fast. I have to really really want a book to buy it nowadays.

  3. I've read 3 of the 5, but I would take Cutting for stone off the list...just warning you...I found it dreadfully boring!! My list includes The Marriage Plot and Midwife of Venice...both will be after I finish the Outlander series, because I'm loving it!

    1. That's so funny- my cousin loved Cutting For Stone! Am dying to read it now if only to see where I stand on it:)

  4. I just finished P.D. James' Death Comes to Pemberley - it's a sequel to Pride and Prejudice. If you like Jane Austen, I really enjoyed this book. She managed to copy Austen's style of writing really well. Also on my list - the new Katrina Onstad, Everybody has Everything. One of her other books is on my top 10 list.

    1. Katrina Onstad (I think) wrote an essay that I love about motherhood. I'm going to have to google the name, but her name has always stood out in my head after reading that essay. Will have to look up a synopsis of her book(s)!

    2. Searching For Mommyland (Part II). Was in "Between Interruptions". Fantastic.

  5. I read The Night Circus, and while it was OK, it wasn't anything spectacular for me! Went on way too long! Curious to hear what you think Sarah!
