Top 5 Tuesday Summer Reads

Hello! I know this post is two days late, but I really wanted to get it up even if it was late. Our host for this meme is Shanah @bionicbookworm. I have fun with this meme so I thought I would post this today. In the summer I read whatever I want usually, but I enjoy keeping it light as the weather is warmer.

1- Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

I needed to put my favorite YA Contemporary on the list. I discuss this book a lot, but I really love it and I think it is the perfect book for summer.  This light read about a woman named Cather Avery is about finding love and accepting yourself for who you are. The bonus for us readers is that Cath is a reader and a writer. 

2- Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli

I could have also out Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda here, but I wanted to highlight this one as I have highlighted the other one in the past. While I have opinions on this book, overall, I enjoyed it and I think it's the perfect read for the summer. As a bonus, Leah is Bi, so it makes the perfect read for Pride Month! The novel is a pretty fast read and follows Leah Burke, a teen who is finding her identity and starting to accept herself for who she is. The rest of the gang from the first book is present in this book making it extra fun.

3- Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbee

This is another read for Pride Month as the lead is Ace. When I read this a few years ago, I feel in love with it because it was about a Web Series and I adore Literary Web Series, this one is about Anna Karenina. I loved following along with the cast of characters on the journey to fame when they were nominated for a Golden Tuba.

4- What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera

A final recommendation for Pride Month! I loved this Meet Cute with a twist when Ben and Arthur met at the post office, and then Arthur turns to Craigslist for a missed connection! What unravels is a sweet story about two men finding love. Also, this book has some deep cut Musical Theater references!

5- Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie

I wanted to put a classic on this list to give a break from YA Contemporary. While I could have put any classic here, I picked Peter Pan because something about Never Land just screams Summer and warmer weather to me.
