Top Ten Tuesday: Ingrid's TBR for Summer

Posted by IngridLola at 5:10 PM

I'm tired. This Top Ten Tuesday is gonna be a quick one. Here's the 10 books on my to-be-read list for summer. And yes, I'm making this post a large font so it fills up more space. Sue me.

1. Ulysses by James Joyce. I just started last Saturday.
2. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Excited to read this again for my book club.
3. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

4. What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank: Stories by Nathan Englander
5. Till We Have Faces by C. S. Lewis. See Christina's beautiful review here.
6. Favorite Wife by Susan Ray Schmidt
7. Once Upon a River by Susan Jo Campbell

8. Canoe Trip: North to Athabaska by David Curran
9. The Midwife's Tale by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
10. Pragmatism by William James

Feel free to click this banner to buy or look at any of these books, because this time I'm too tired to link each title ...

I'll look forward to all of your reviews (like usual) but Favorite Wife looks really interesting.

The Great Gatsby is great. I've read it a couple times and I can't help but love it.

Cool. I hope you like Till We Have Faces as much as I did. I also really enjoyed A Midwife's Tale when I read it years ago.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through now ... it's funny because this is one of those books that I know I have to finish before I can say what I think of it. Did you love it all the way through ?

Yeah, I think so. I think a big part of why I loved it was that it was so different from what I expected from C.S. Lewis. That won't be a surprise for you, since you've read my thoughts.

Fantastic choices. I've added Gatsby to my re-read list for the summer :)

Anyone who tackles Ulysses is a hero in my book. When you read Gatsby, do some research on the original cover art http://www.unc.edu/~wellons/personal/books/gatsby... It may be the only time an author rewrote a section of his book to make the cover art important. (Yes, the art was done before the book was completed.)

I love Till We Have Faces. Obviously, Clive is an excellent writer but I think that one is his most beautiful novel.
I will be (re) reading Gatsby in July! I am doing a year of F. Scott (although some months are more successful than others...).
