TTT: The most summerish books on my summer reading list

Top Ten Tuesday: The Most Summerish Books on My Summer Reading List

Ordinarily I print lists of books I've read, this time I am listing books I hope to read this summer, ones with a summerish vibe.

I printed my summer reading list here and already need to make a few corrections, since I finished a few books before summer started. So I will add a few other possibles here on TTT.

1. How to Read a Book by Monica Wood -- Not sure how summerish this book will be but it is for a summertime book club meeting at the end of June, plus it is short.
2. The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel -- Ditto for this book. Another summer book club selection. This one has a fairly serious topic, so maybe a bit less summerish than the first.
3. Three Days in June by Anne Tyler -- Actually I just finished this book. It is a perfect summer selection. Even the title is helpful on that score: Three Days in June. It involves a summer wedding.
4. Catch-22 by Joseph Heller -- Actually I don't associate this book with any season, since it is a "war book." Why am I adding it to my list of summerish books? Because I purchased the audiobook and plan on listening to it with my husband when we are taking a long car trip for my husband's class reunion in a few weeks. What is more summerish than a class reunion?
5. Water, Water: Poems by Billy Collins -- I love this poet and Water, Water is Collins' most recent publication. The title makes me think of summer play at the ocean, lakes, Puget Sound, and swimming pools already planned.
6. Crook Manifesto by Colson Whitehead -- A second book in a series. It is set in Harlem in the 1970s and, from the summary, I understand at least part of the story is set during bicentennial celebrations in 1976. Most of those parades and festivities likely happened during the summer of that year.
7. The In-Between Bookstore by Edward Underhill -- I found this book on a June reading list and added it to mine. I know very little about it except it is about a magical bookstore which allows a Trans man to meet up with his teenage self.
8. The Salt Path: a Memoir by Raynor Winn -- A couple decide to walk the 600+ miles of the Southwest Coast Path to help them deal with their loss. A long journey by foot with each step one toward healing.
9. Let the Light Pour In: Morning Poems by Lemn Sissay -- I selected this book from a list of "fourteen comforting books for summer evenings." Not sure why it was selected for summer evenings when the poems were written in the morning. Oh well, we'll see.
10. The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin -- Another audiobook chosen for another long car trip later in the summer. This book was selected as a compromise between my daughter and me. We both like to listen to books while we travel in cars, but she usually selects something fantasy or romantasy, while I prefer something else. We agreed on this one.

What summerish books do you hope to read this summer (or winterish books this winter)?
