Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
Today’s prompt is: Books on My Summer 2025 to-Read List
I have already posted about 15 books I hope to read this summer so I’ve narrowed it down to the top ten I hope to finish by the end of the summer. I’ve also swapped some books out after doing some research on them and deciding they most likely aren’t really my thang, ya’ know.
As always, these are subject to change, and other books may catch my attention and take precedence.
1. The Inimitable Jeeves by P.G. Woodhouse
I’ve already started this one and I am enjoying it, so I am sure I’ll finish it in the next couple of months at least.
2. The Pale Horse by Agatha Christie
I’ve also started this one, but just a few pages. I need a good mystery right now.
3. The Clue in the Diary by Carolyn Keene
I’ll probably read a couple Nancy Drews this summer. I usually do.
4. Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis
Children’s books are apparently my thing this summer.
5. But First Murder by Bee Littlefield
Because I like Betti and want to see what’s going on with her. Plus…more mystery, which I like.
6. Spill the Jackpot by Erle Stanley Gardner
Cool and Lamb. Yes. I need some more of their wicked bluntness and mystery.
7. The 100-Year-Old-Man Who Climbed Out The Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonassen
I have no idea if I will like this or not, but I am going to give it a try anyhow.
8. The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley By Courtney Walsh
I swapped this one out with Summer of Yes because it has better ratings.
9. Dave Barry is Not Taking This Sitting Down by Dave Barry
I need some humor. Like bad. That is all.
10. The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady by Sharon J. Mondragon
What books are you looking forward to this summer?

Anything written by Dave Barry should add some much needed humor into one’s day. Thanks Lisa.

I’m hoping to read a few Agatha Christie books this summer. Nancy Drew mysteries are also perfect for summer! I hope you enjoy all these.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

I don’t have a list as I already said on your 15 books post, but books get added or taken off quite randomly in my OpenLibrary account.
At the moment I’m reading a children’s book to the cats before we go to sleep and an Allingham for myself.

I do the same thing with books…rotating them off or on. I’ll probably end up scrapping half of these this summer.

Looks like you are focusing on humor. Good for you. The 100-year-old man is fun. It is also ridiculous. Everything turns out okay when it really shouldn’t. A real mood booster.

I’ve read that it is ridiculous and I’m here for that! lol! My husband enjoyed it and he doesn’t usually enjoy things that are too silly so it has that going for it.

That Dave Barry book looks great. I love his sense of humour but haven’t read anything from him in ages.
