#20BooksOfSummer20 TBR

I’m hoping that 746Books, the host of this reading challenge, doesn’t mind me taking liberties and making my own graphic for it. I wanted to make reference to the fact that it… is really not summer here right now. 😁 I am writing this in front of the heater, wearing woolly socks and with a blanket over my lap.

But why should that preclude me from a challenge?! Sure, I could start my own Southern Hemisphere version and run it December – February, but… eh. That sounds like work!

The 20 Books of Summer challenge is exactly what it sounds like. Between June 1 and September 1, participants can choose to read 10, 15 or 20 books.

I’m going to continue my 2020 challenge of reading all the Australian books that I own.

My Australian fiction bookshelf, showing a number of the books on my 20 Books of Summer list, as well as some I’ve already read, and some I’ll get to a bit later.

I find that even when I only do month-long reading challenges, my final result is always a little different from my intitial TBR, but these are the ones I’m going to try for:

The Beast’s Heart by Lief Shallcross (fantasy)
The Iron Line by L. M. Merrington (historical fiction)
Rheia by Cassandra Page (fantasy)
Where Shadows Rise by Amy Laurens (YA fantasy)
Through Roads Between by Amy Laurens (YA fantasy)
Mud and Glass by Laura E Goodin (fantasy)
Harlequin’s Riddle by Rachel Nightingale (YA fantasy)
The Grief Hole by Kaaron Warren (horror)
No Limits by Ellie Marney (YA crime/contemporary)
A Pocketful of Eyes by Lili Wilkinson (YA contemporary)
The Grinding House by Kaaron Warren (horror/short stories)
Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta (YA fantasy)
The Dry by Jane Harper (Crime)
She’s Having a Laugh ed. George McInroe (non-fiction)
Maternal Instinct by Rebecca Bowyer (sci-fi)
Beauty in Thorns by Kate Forsyth (historical fiction)
One Summer in Santorini by Sandy Barker (romance)
The Blood Countess by Tara Moss (YA fantasy)
Angel Mage by Garth Nix (YA fantasy)
Euphoria Kids by Alison Evans (YA fantasy)

This might be ambitious because I also have a couple of ARC reviews due in June, and a couple of books from the library still to get through. And book club! But I do have the first week of June off work. So we’ll see. See you on the other side! Or at least, at a June 30 check-in.
