Top Ten Tuesday: Books on My Summer 2023 to-Read List

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. For more info please check out Jana’s blog.

Hello!

I haven’t taken part in Top Ten Tuesday for quite a while so I thought it was high time to take part again. This weeks topic is also an excellent choice for me as I have now booked my summer holiday so I am planning what books to take with me to read.

So in no particular order here are my ten books:

These are a mix of books off my 20 Books of Summer Challenge and my Classics Club Challenge and some random extras. I have no idea if I will manage all of these but I plan on giving it a good go.

1. The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway – I recently bought this whilst book shopping because I had always wanted to read it. Fingers crossed I will get around it as it will be a nice short read.
2. Yellowface by R. F. Kuang – This was my latest purchase whilst book shopping and one that I bought because of all the good things I have seen about it on instagram.
3. Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors – This is another book I have read so many good things about.
4. Babel by R. F. Kuang – I really hope I like Kuang’s writing as she is a new author for me and I plan to read two of her books in the summer.
5. The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas – I have very nearly finished The Count of Monte Cristo and I am not nearly ready to finish reading books by Dumas. It will be my next nighttime read.
6. The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski – I have the full set of these books in paperback but I might pop the first on my kindle so I can read it on holiday and if I want to continue with the series I can just download the next one on my Kindle.
7. Clytemnestra by Costanza Casati – This has been sat on my TBR for way to long so hopefully I will read it soon.
8. The Greek Plays – I can’t wait to get reading these.
9. Silas Marner by George Eliot – This is one of my favourite books and I fancied a reread for the summer.
10. The Taxidermist’s Daughter by Kate Mosse – Again another book that has been sat on my TBR for way too long.

Fingers crossed I can read these books and many more over the summer.

If you have taken part in Top Ten Tuesday this week please drop me your link and I will head over for a visit.

Happy Reading
