As promised last month, I’m planning to keep my August reading list on the lighter side and throw in some good summer reads. I haven’t found summer reading time as easy to come by as I’d hoped, and I don’t expect that to change as we near the start of school over the next few weeks. Here’s what I hope to read this month.

I’m linking up with Literary Quicksand, Rachel at Never Enough Novels, and Allison at My Novel Life who are all co-hosting the first TBR Mix ‘n Mingle. The first Wednesday of each month we’ll share the books we’re planning to read.

New on My August Reading List

P.S. I Still Love You (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before)

P.S. I Still Love You (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before)

Author: Jenny Han

I read To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before last month and it was light and sweet. The next in the series will be perfect for a busy month, and I may even squeeze in the third book if I can grab it from the library.

The Summer Wives: A Novel

The Summer Wives: A Novel

While The Summer Wives doesn’t necessarily sound like a light, fun read, it does seem to fall under good summer reading. This promises drama among rich people in an island setting. Does it get more escapist than that?

First Frost

First Frost

I’m not much for magical realism, but I’ve heard some raves about Sarah Addison Allen. A time when I’m looking for light summer reads seems just right for giving her a shot.

Holdovers from July

I added some library holds at the last minute and they came in quickly, so I was derailed from a couple of my original July reading plans (luckily, the books were worth it). I’m still planning on getting to these two:

In the Woods

In the Woods

Author: Tana French
This first novel in the Dublin Murder series has been on my list for a while; I wanted to get to it in July but got sidetracked. I’ve already read the second in the series and found it smart and gripping. Now I plan to start over with the first and work through the series in order.

Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder

Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder

I wanted to read this biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder last month but I somehow missed the notice when my library hold came in. Such is life; my turn is coming up again soon, and I will read this in August!
