Happy Tuesday, y’all! It’s that time again. What time is it? It’s time to share our seasonal TBR. Jana, over at That Artsy Reader Girl, asks us to share a seasonal TBR every quarter. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, that means our Summer 2025 TBR. For my Summer 2025 TBR, I will list books I hope to read from July to September 2025.
How did my Spring 2025 TBR go? Pretty good, honestly! I read four of the ten books I listed, and I may finish at least one more. I also DNFed one.
In 2024, I focused more on reading my current physical TBR instead of trying to read all the new books. I have come up with ten categories of books that I want to focus on each quarter. These books currently reside on my physical bookshelf, so I have no excuse not to read them. While I wasn’t overly successful, I will continue to focus on my physical books in 2025. But I’ll be changing up some of the categories.
All titles are linked to Goodreads.
Without further ado, here is my Summer 2025 TBR!

Bill Bryson is always enjoyable, and A Walk in the Woods is one of my favorites by him.
Last f possibilities for some great summer reading! Enjoy!
***lots of***
All the Lonely People is my favourite Mike Gayle book. I hope you love it. The Bill Bryson book is great too. He’s always so entertaining!
I really enjoyed All the Lonely People, hope you do too!
Oh, that puppy is adorable. Dead, Dead Girls sounds good. Thanks for stopping by earlier.
The puppy is totally adorable. I would love to say it’s mine, but sadly the image is a stock photo I found.

Dead Dead Girls sounds interesting! And I really need to read more Bill Bryson books!
Here is my TTT: https://thissideofstoryland.blogspot.com/2025/06/top-ten-tuesday-summer-2025-tbr.html
I’m curious about All the Lonely People.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I’ve seen a lot of good things about Camp! I hope you enjoy all of these!
That Bryson title was my first of his humor works! I hope you enjoy it.
A Walk in the Woods is one of my favs. Happy summer reading! 😀
Looks like you have a nice and varied summer TBR list. 🙂 I read Tacos for Two a while ago and if I remember right, it was cute. Happy summer TBR-ing and thanks for visiting my list!
I hope you end up loving each and every one of these books this summer! 😀
I read all the books on my Spring TBR this year. These all look good, especially The World of Agatha Christie. Hope you enjoy them all!
I loved Tacos for Two! My TTT
This looks like such a fun mix of books, hope you’ll love all of these!
I want to read The World of Agatha Christie. It sounds like a book right up my alley. Thanks for the heads up!
My TTT Summer Reading List
Tacos for Two was cute. I hope you enjoy all of these!
These look good. The Agatha Christie one intrigues me. I do terribly every year when trying to get to my own TBR. Indeed to try harder!
Have a great week!
It definitly takes practice. I seem to get through about half of my seasonal TBR. I think it helps that I move those ten books someplace more visible. And I cheat occassionaly, and borrow the audiobook from the library.
Pam
Maybe I just need more practice. And more time!
Haha I have yet to try an audiobook.
A walk in the woods would make a wonderful summer read. It’s a wonderful read! Enjoy them all!
You have a great line up planned for the summer. I hope you enjoy all your books and have a great week!
Oh wow, a Christmas book in summer?!
I’m hoping to read at least one or more Christmas stories in July. Plus, reading books set in cooler weather may help take my mind off the heat and humidity of summer.
Pam
Tacos for Two looks fun! Enjoy
Bill Bryson is always so fun! I think I read that one a long time ago, but honestly, I can’t remember now which of his I have and haven’t read! Probably that means it’s time to re-read them all.
Four isn’t bad from your spring list! Hope you love the summer picks!
You’ll love Tacos for Two! Such a fun rom-com.
Christine Wells was at the reader retreat I went to last month. I have only tried one of her books but this one sounds interesting!
THE WORLD OF AGATHA CHRISTIE sounds like an interesting one! THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES is on my list today. I hope you enjoy all your books!
Happy TTT!

I hope you enjoy these! I’ve read Dead Dead Girls, but it wasn’t my type of book. I hope you enjoy it more than I did!
All of these look very interesting, especially One Woman’s War. I love historical fiction. I hope you enjoy them. Happy Wednesday!
Dead Dead Girls looks very interesting. I hope you enjoy all of these over the summer.
The cover of Camp draws my eye but I also suspect it might be a hard read.
