Today I am sharing the books I have checked out from the library and hope to dig through for my summer reading. I am also taking part in Sue Jackson’s Big Book Summer Reading Challenge. which is basically reading a book that is 400 pages or more during the summer months. I have a few contenders for this challenge the first one being “A Discovery of Witches” by Deborah Harkness This book was recommended to me by one of my local librarians and I am excited to finally dig in. It’s a pretty hefty book-over 500 pages and I have run out of renewals so I plan on starting off with this book on June 20th!

Next up is “The Prince of the Skies” by Antonio Iturbe which is also a candidate for Big Book Summer. I love the little prince and this book caught my eye when I was browsing the local libraries one evening. It’s the story of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of “The Little Prince” and his work as a pilot. It sounds like a really fascinating read.

The same night I also found “The Miniaturist” by Jessie Burton As you know I am a beginning miniaturist so this book really called to me and sounds like a unique story.

During the same wander I found “Royal” by Danielle Steel novel which is not a normal pick for me but this one sounded like an interesting read. It takes place during WWII with a princess in hiding and I had to pick it up.

I always have a large stack of books both in my own collection and checked out from the library that I never have a problem DNFing a book if it doesn’t grip me in the first few pages. I love to read books I enjoy and, as you can see, books of varying genres so there is always something new to pique my interest.

Are you taking part in Big Book Summer or do you have any reading plans for the summer? I would love to hear what you are reading. I will be back next with my Summer TBR Kindle edition. Wishing you a lovely week!

Until next time…
