There will be other books, because I have a bunch that I agreed to review, but these are the books that I really want to read over the summer. Summer is not summer without a King book in there somewhere, and I’m surprised that I haven’t read Duma Key already. It’s a chunkster. If you’ve read it, let me know if you liked it.

I also had to fit Nesbø in there (surprise!). Because I love him so much, I decided to slip a second book into the mix. You know, because I am his #1 fan and all.

For me, summer is a time to delve into the books that I’ve been wanting to read for awhile. Some might be a bit heavy or dark, but I like heavy and dark. I know some people skip the list making, but creating the list gives me something to look forward to.

What are you looking forward to reading this summer?

Every once in a while I find myself completely overwhelmed by my reading list. It’s a “good” bad. I mean, I don’t think I will ever complain that I have too much to read but the timing is sometimes an issue for me. I’m not always in the mood to read the titles when they need to be read. So what I end up doing is reading what I want, and then I can’t post the review because the book won’t be out for months. See? Timing!

Here is what I must read over the next six weeks. Some are review commitments, some are commitments I made to myself and others are here because they are borrowed and I really need to get them back to their owners. If any of them appeal to you, click on the cover for more info.

With Spring Break around the corner, I plan to read at least three of these but these days, my time is spent watching the Otter Pup. She regressed a bit, so I’ve been watching her every move and it’s completely worn me out. At least now that the list is in front of me, it doesn’t look so intimidating. Yes, I think I can do this.

How many books do you have in your immediate TBR (to be read) pile? I say “immediate” because if I counted every book on my virtual list it’s like, 300 or something.
