And yes- there is somewhat of a YA adventure/fantasy theme to this list, but there are a few that go outside this genre.
This is the second book in Richelle Mead's Bloodlines series. Her Bloodline's series is a spinoff of The Vampire Academy series which was one of the most fun, most agonizing (in a good way...?) series I have ever read. I really want to get into this spinoff series but I just haven't had the free time that I want to focus on them.
Again, no idea what this is about - but I've seen a lot of people reading this and enjoying it. Actually I wasn't going to buy it at all but I was at Barnes and Noble one day and the cover was just so lovely and pink. So I bought it. (I wish I could insert an emojii here because I would totally add the one of the girl shrugging with her hand up at her side.)
1. Confess by Colleen Hoover
Oh Colleen Hoover. Her stores enthrall me, irritate me, and consume my attention until the moment I finish the last page. The characters and relationships are always relatable, and there's always some major twist that turns the story upside down. I don't really know what this story is about yet but odds are I'll read it in one day.

2. A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby
I watched this movie on Netflix and quite enjoyed it. It's about 4 people who have all hit some sort of low in their life. They meet each other and their stories unravel from there. This is one of the few books on this list that isn't in the YA category.

3. Yes Please by Amy Poehler
Amy Poehler's autobiography! Who wouldn't want to read about such a kickass woman? And yes - my copy is signed. I'm not too sure what to expect with this book but I'm pretty sure I can expect laughs and some great advice.

4. City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare
Now, this is the 6th and final book in The Mortal Instruments series, and I have had this book in my TBR pile since it came out about a year ago. I have a lot of trouble reading the last book in a series that I really enjoy because once you're done the story is OVER. It's too much to handle. But I am determined to overcome this struggle this summer.

5. Burying Water by K.A. Tucker
I don't know much about this book but it kept coming up on my recommended books list whenever I bought a Colleen Hoover book. Also K.A. Tucker is going to be at BookCon which I have tickets to this year! I'm set on reading a few books by authors going to BookCon that I don't know before I get there.

6. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
Another book that I don't know much about! My brother's girlfriend gave me this series to read and we typically have very similar taste in books. I wish I could say more but I really am going into this series without knowing anything.

7. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Fangirl is another book that has been in my TBR pile for a while. I read Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell and really enjoyed how sweet and real it was. I bought Fangirl because the protagonist's situation seemed quite a bit like mine. As soon as I'm in the mood for a contemporary story this summer this is the first one I'll pick up.

9. Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins
Again, no idea what this is about - but I've seen a lot of people reading this and enjoying it. Actually I wasn't going to buy it at all but I was at Barnes and Noble one day and the cover was just so lovely and pink. So I bought it.

10. An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
And last but not least, An Ember in the Ashes! The promotion for this book was on point because I first saw it in an issue of Cosmopolitan, then throughout booktube, and then I found this free preview featured in Barnes and Noble. Of course I bought it because who doesn't love a love story set in a fantasy world reminiscent of ancient Rome?

I really hope I can stick to this summer goal! Some of these books have been on my TBR list for far too long, especially City of Heavenly Fire.
(Also, side note, yes I like fish statues.)
