Top 10 Tuesday is a book meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Check them out and join us!
Here are the books I hoping to read this summer:
1. The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton: It’s my book club book for last month but involves a garden & fairy tales. I’m so on board for this.
2. Honeymoon with my Brother by Franz Wizner: Also a real life book club pick. I love reading memoirs in the summer. The author’s fiancee calls off the wedding days before so he & his brother go on the honeymoon together and end up travelling around the world. Love the idea of that.
3. The Little Shadows by Marina Endicott: The story revolves around three sisters who are in vaudville.

4. The Last Boyfriend by Nora Roberts: Nothing screams a summer read like Nora. It’s the second book in her latest series which is told from the perspective of three brothers as they restore the local inn to its former glory.
5. Where’s Alice Bliss? by Laura Harrington : See the last Top 10 Tuesday. I’ve been meaning to read this for ages.
6. The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolano: See above.
7. Mrs. Tuesday’s Departure by Suzanne Anderson: I won this on Firstreads by Goodreads! Very exciting! It’s a historical fiction book set in WWII Germany. It’s always a thrill to read something by a writer you’ve never read before. You never know what you might discover.
8. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald: I want to read before the film comes out.
9. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier: I’ve wanted to read this forever. I can’t believe I haven’t read it yet.
10. Through No Fault of My Own: A Girl’s Diary of Life on Summit Avenue in the Jazz Age by Coco Irvine: This was recommended by a friend through Goodreads. I didn’t even know you could do that. It’s now my new favourite function on Goodreads overtaking the barcode scan feature on the app.

That’s it! I think I should remind myself to take a look back on September 1 to see what I accomplished from this list. Challenge accepted! What’s on your summer reading list?
Rebecca has been on my TBR pile for a long time. I want to read it, so I’m not sure why I keep putting it off. My bookclub also did The Forgotten Garden a while ago but I didn’t have the chance to read it. It is also on my TBR pile.
Great List! I just finished the Great Gatsby and my sole motivation was to read it before the film comes out. The Forgotten Garden has been on my TBR list forever. Something about that cover draws me in . . .

I know what you mean!
I feel like I should re-read The Great Gatsby because everyone has it on their list! BAH! I also LOVED The Forgotten Garden, I hope you do too!
Thanks Cassie!
Through No Fault of My Own sounds good. I tried to read The Great Gatsby years ago and couldn’t finish it. I might try again before the movie comes out. Enjoy!
Thanks Linda!
I really want to read Rebecca as well
It’s one of my mom’s favourite books! And I think I should read The Great Gatsby before the movie comes out as well. Great list 
Thank you!
Fun! Love finding out about new books! Definitely going to check these out!

My Top Ten Tuesday: http://booknookgirl.blogspot.com/2012/06/top-ten-tuesday-summer-to-be-read.html
I know! So many people love it.
I so need to read Rebecca. I’ve been meaning to! I almost buy it every time I’m at the book store but then inevitably something else catches my eye!
That’s what happens with me!
