Top Ten Tuesday - Books Which Would Make Perfect Summer Reads

The top 10 weekly meme used to be hosted by The Broke and the Bookish they  handed over the reins to ThatArtsyReaderGirl who can be found HERE.  Each week she will focus on lists which cover various topics related to books and reading.

This week I'm sharing with you books I've read which I think would maker perfect summer reads.

UNTIL SUMMER COMES AROUND - This was a very recent read and everything about it screams Summer!

NI JUDGMENTS - This book is set in the middle of a hurricane so yep, it has a summer feel.

CAMPFIRE - I had tons of fun with this book and doesn't every summer needs a slasher/camping tale?

SMOTHERED - This was a Goodreads win and it was such a fun read.  The MC has just graduated college and has to enter the real world.  Nothing like that summer after college for a rude awakening.

ABOUT A DOG - Nothing says summer like romance and dogs.

So I'm leaving it at five this week because honestly, for someone who reads a lot of horror/thrillers, I am finding this kind of difficult.

Have you read any of these books or better yet, can you recommend any great summer horror reads?

    1. It was a fun read. I do recommend it but people need to take it for what it is - a fun campy read.

  2. Smothered sounds like fun! And mostly because I can laugh at someone else's rude awakening (that said, it can be a tough time). And of course, summer and dogs are <3

    1. And it's told in different forms - with texts, emails, etc so it's such a quick read.

  3. I love this list, and I knew you would include a book with a dog. Dogs just feel like summer to me anyway, so it works😁

  8. I feel you. I read mostly mystery/thrillers and they usually have dark, cold, foreboding settings. I haven't read any of your books and I'm not huge on horror either, so I'm useless for recommendations. Sorry!

    Happy TTT!

    1. That's okay. I always find great recommendations when I visit your blog :)

  9. Okay, I'm officially excited for Smothered, if only because I can't remember ever seeing a single other book set immediately after graduating from college and focusing on that fact. Reading that it is told via different formatting is just icing. Thanks for another interesting rec!

    1. And the author is actually Michael Chiklis' daughter (Of The Shield) which intrigued me ever more.

  10. Campfire! I think I remember reading a review of that and it sounded freaky! :)

  11. When I think about summer, I imagine cannibals breaking into cabins in the woods, a megalodon attacking a summer boat cruise, a Sasquatch attacking hikers, serial killers attacking campers! I'm not a very fluffy kind of reader!

  12. There's definitely something about dog books that make me associate them with summer!
