Mysteries
1. Anything by Agatha Christie- I love reading mysteries in the sun, and Christie is the Queen of Mystery. I've loved all the Christie I have read so far so I am eager to read more.
2. Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor by Stephanie Barron I'm really excited to start this mystery series where Jane Austen solves mysteries.
3. The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde- This literary based mystery looks like a lot of fun; I have heard lots of great things about Fforde.
Nonfiction
4. A Walk in the Woods by Bill Byrson- Nonfiction is another of my favorite pool-side reads, particularly outdoorsy and nature inspire non-fiction like Bryson's novels. This will be my first Byrson and I'm excited to see what all the hype is about.
5. Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer- This nonfiction classic has been on my TBR forever, I would love to cross it off by the pool this summer.
6. Memoirs of a Beatnik by Diane Di Prima- I will be starting this one really soon. It's on my Classics Club Women's Literature Event TBR and I love the Beatnik movement. I'm eager to learn more about women in the movement as they were somewhat of a rarity and faced discrimination.
Young Adult
7. Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas- I have heard that this YA thriller is supper addtictive, perfect for a pool read.
8. The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski- I need to finsih this trilogy and the other two books were fast paced and sucked me in so I expect this one to as well.
9. These Vicious Masks by Tarun Shanker and Kelley Zekas- I think this one will be a fast and light read.
Graphic Novels
10. Comics!- I am on a comic book kick this summer; I plan to read as many as I can. Right now I have tons of Robin and Wonder Woman to read.
Side note: does anyone else miss Mad Men as much as I do?
The Jane Austen mystery series is one of my favorites and it is totally a fun breezy summer read! I hope you enjoy it! Also the Eyre Affair is really great AND A Walk in the Woods AND Dame Agatha - so really GREAT LIST! Mysteries are perfect for beach reading because they they can be such engrossing page turners. Happy reading and hope you do get to them all and enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteAh! So glad to hear you like the Austen series, I haven't heard anyone talk about it yet.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
For some reason summer does seem to be a good time to read mysteries, not sure why! And Dangerous Girls does sound good, I've seen a some good reviews too. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about it too, the reviews convinced me to pick it up.

Dangerous Girls is a fantastic choice. It's so gripping. I do love to be gripped by a book at the beach/in summer!
ReplyDeleteYes me too!

DeleteI should have added Dangerous Girls to my list too! I always realize I left something good out too late, but I will read that this summer.

DeleteI love the way you split this up into categories! I'm usually reading a contemporary by the pool, but I have been known to be swayed by an agatha christie mystery as well :) great list!
ReplyDeletehere's my TTT!
I love both those genres in the summer too. Perfect poolside reading.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Do you have any Agatha Christie recommendations?? As I mentioned on my blog post, I have only read And Then There Were None so far.
ReplyDeleteI also want to read The Eyre Affair and Into the Wild. I love, love the film Into the Wild, so I am almost hesitant to read the book because it may not live up to such high expectations.
I also really enjoyed the Secret Adversaries by Christie. My next read of hers will probably be The Body in the Library.
DeleteI haven't seen the film yet actually, I've always wanted to read the book first!
Thanks for stopping by!
I really want to read Dangerous girls and These Vicious Masks, but I probably won't be able to get to them this summer. I hope you enjoy them! Thanks for visiting my blog! Happy summer and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Kim!
DeleteI like how you separated your list, Mallory. Fun idea. :) 'The Winner' series is one I've been curious about for a while now. One of these days I simply must read them.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland.
It's a great series; lots of political intrigue!
