It may sometimes be hard to feel summery here in ‘old blighty’ what with a near constant grey overcast. But, as ever, we can rely on books to transport us. Without further ado, and in no particular order, here are my top ten summer reads for 2017.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the beyond amazing The Broke and Bookish. If you don’t already you should head over there and check out the list of all the amazing book bloggers who take part, it’s a great way to find other bloggers who might read the same books as you!










So there you have it. 10 Books that to me say ‘read me over the summer’ either due to theme or length or just a gut feeling.
What do you guys think of my list? Anything I should add? Link me to your TTT posts below or on twitter (@judithcmoore). Can’t wait to hear from you!
I really enjoyed Strange the Dreamer. It’s beautiful and dreamy and a perfect fit for a long, lazy summer day.
The cover for Breakwater is stunning!

Loved Harold Fry and I’m re-reading Brideshead after re-watching the superb 80s tv version with very young Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews. I haven’t read Thief Lord, but loved Ink Heart

I listened to Inkheart–super! I couldn’t do the sequel because I tried too soon after the first book and the reader changed. I need to go back and do it.

Breakwater has such a great cover. While I wasn’t a fan of Laini Taylors other series, Strange the Dreamer has been catching my eye a lot lately.
