What should our SUMMER books be?


Fight Club (Movie is epic but who has read the book?)


I'll Give You the Sun is a cute contemporary book that I have wanted to read for a long time, and so is Eleanor and Park, Since You've Been Gone and any of Sarah Dessen's books :)
I've read two of Sarah's books before, and they just give me such summer feelings

Note: Be sure to look through the suggestions above yours and to second any that look interesting!
I second Pride and Prejudice, Speak, and The Outsiders.

Other books that came to mind:
Anything but Typical by Nota Raliegh Baskin,
The History of Love by Nicole Krauss,
Say Goodnight Gracie by Julia Reece Denver. :)

The Peculiar Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery
I'm a fan of hefty tomes, obviously.

Also An Abundance of Katherines







I'd also like to add The Cuckoos Calling, The Book Thief, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
That was so hard to narrow down, there are SO many books I really should have read by now xD

And I second:
The Handmaid's Tale
The Goldfinch
The 5th Wave
The Bell Jar
I'll Give You the Sun
Fight Club


What about "To Kill a Mockingbird" since the sequel comes out this summer?


And I would like to add City of Bones, Outlander and The Cider House Rules.

I've also had "Just Listen" by Sarah Dessen on my shelf for far too long.

Other books I'd like to read are "The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer" and "The Bone Season". I have had both of them for way too long without reading them!


Suggesting Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel (as other BookTubers love this book) and We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson


I second these ones:
The Knife of Never Letting Go
The Fifth Wave
The Bone Season
Sarah Dessen
and would also like to suggest Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children because dang I need to read that!

The Maze Runner
I'd love to read The Giver or To Kill A Mockingbird because I haven't read them since high school (this would also give me an excuse to buy tkamb to have in my "teacher library")

We're already going to read Stardust together, and I'd like to pick 2-3 more to read together in JUNE, JULY and AUGUST. Then we'll pick a new selection of books for Fall.
Everyone suggest a few books (for a category let's go with "books we should have read by now") and I'll pick the most popular ones to be our summer group reads.
My other suggestions with be:
-The 5th Wave
-The Knife of Never Letting Go
