Todays topic from The Broke and the Bookish is:
Top Ten
Books At The Top Of Your Summer TBR List
The first
three on my list are ones I’ll be reading with my book club and the rest are a
few that I’m hoping will be nice light summer reading. I probably won't get
away anywhere but I am going to give myself a reading vacation and put off the
more serious stuff till fall.
I'm looking
forward to these:
1. While
The World Watched by Carolyn Maul - our July book club selection
2. The Elegance
of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery - our August book club selection and one
of my all time favourite books
3. Love
Anthony by Lisa Genova - our September book club selection
4. Ireland
by Frank Delaney - I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to dive into this big book
5. The
Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachael Joyce - the reviews sound interesting, waiting for it to
arrive
6. The
Right Attitude To Rain by Alexander McCall Smith - #3 in the Isabelle Dalhousie series,
waiting for this one also
7. Gourmet
Rhapsody by Muriel Barbery - hoping it will be as good as Hedgehog
8. The
Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster - the review said “bookish” - Sold!
9. The
Whole Fromage by Kathe Lison - a tour of the fromageries of France - the first book I've ever pre-ordered, waiting for it to arrive
10. The
Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennet - just for fun!
Check out The Broke and The Bookish to see what others are reading this summer. What are you looking forward to reading?

Great list! I hope to get around to Barbery's Gourmet Rhapsody one of these days as I loved Elegance of a Hedgehog. I also hope to get around to The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, the premise for that novel sounds fascinating...
My TTT
I got The Unlikely Pilgrimage for Christmas and haven't had the chance to read it yet- maybe this summer!
I wanted to like The Elegance of the Hedgehog, but the book and I didn't click. I can definitely see why some people gravitate towards it, though.
I really liked The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. I hope you enjoy your summer reads.
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is a lovely read. I hope you enjoy it!
I can't wait for the cheese book to arrive!
Deb - me too! My 'virtual' vacation will be in France this summer via that book.
