Cathy of 746 Books has been running the 20 Books of Summer challenge since 2014, and this will be my fifth year participating. I was going to pick 20 of my oldest Netgalley books to read, but decided to go with 20 physical books I own that remain unread. Sadly, all of them are books I owe Forever Books/Grand Central Publishing for reviews. So you know what that means right Carla? All of these will be ending up in your bag this year, minus any that you have read already!🤗
Visit the host of this challenge, Cathy746books Click here for her announcement post. for all the rules (not many) and how to hook up.
The idea is to read *and review* 10, 15, or 20 books over the summer (June 1 – September 1). Cathy is quite reasonable about swapping out books if needed, adjusting targets etc. but I hope to stick to my list stated below.
So, What do you think of my choices? Have you read any of my 20? Which one do you think I will start with? I’d love to hear what you think and I can’t wait to see your lists.
If you are joining in, grab the image for your blog and don’t forget to tweet along at #20booksofsummer – here’s to a great summer of reading!
Good luck to all of you!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!🌸📚🌸

Nah, not this year. I completed this challenge last year but didn’t read the books I listed and this year isn’t going to be different.

I read and enjoyed The Amish Baby Finds a Home. All of these have a summer vibe, I hope you enjoy them. I think I participated last year (or the year before) but won’t this summer, simply because I don’t want to commit to a certain book. I am even trying to taper down the review requests for the summer. Do more mood reading and catch up on some of the ones on my shelves.

I love all your choices, Susan, they all look so summery. I think I have only read the two Melinda Curtis books. I might have to come visit before December, Susan. 😁 I hope you get them all read and enjoy them all!

What gorgeous covers, so summery and delightful. I remember you listing some of these on last year’s list. It’s okay though because a good chunk of these I still owe as well 😯💖🌞🌻🤔🤗. Have fun reading through your list.

It’s not sad because I’m just as bad if not worse 😞🤔😂 I’m not sure if I will . I don’t like making lists and not completing them. I’ve never participated in this challenge so maybe I should though 😍❤️🌷📚📚📚

These all look wonderful Susan. I haven’t read any of them and have only read 2 or 3 of the authors. Personally, I would start with the Carolyn Brown. You can never go wrong with one of her books. ❤📚🤗
