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 2026 TBR. For my Summer 2026 TBR, I will list books I hope to read from July to September 2026.
How did my Spring 2026 TBR go? Not so good, honestly! I read two of the ten books I listed. And there’s still time to read one more. Unfortunately, there were a few DNFs. But 5 out of 10 is still pretty good, right?
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 10 book categories I want to focus on each quarter. Most of the books on my list will be from my bookshelf. I also want to show my library some love, so several of the books will be from the library.
All titles are linked to Goodreads.
Without further ado, here is my Summer 2026 TBR!

It looks like you have a great lineup for summer, enjoy!
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
A Jane Austen biography! Fun!
Hope you enjoy these all – some look like I’d enjoy them! I did read Stephanie (edited by) Christmas collection a while ago and it was cute. 🙂 Thanks for visiting my list today.
I love Kelley Armstrong, but haven’t heard of this book. Off to go find it now.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.. Thank you!
these all look good! I hope you enjoy them 🙂
Some interesting books on your list. I hope you enjoy them when you get to them.
I once again forgot to check in with my spring TBR to see how I did, oops, LOL! Like you, I hope to read quite a few I already own. I hope you do enjoy the ones you end up reading. Have a great week!
Enjoy them!
The cover for Things Not to Do is super interesting! Hopefully its a good book! Happy Reading!
Fab list, hope you enjoy them!
Great TBR!
Maus is a classic – I hope you enjoy it
MAUS is very powerful. My True Love Gave to Me was fun–I read it years ago when it came out.
Summer is made for reading! Hope you have a good one!
Look like some good ones! Hope you are able to read them all!
Oh I loved The Reading List by Adams! I’m adding this title to my tbr!
I actually forgot I added this to my TBR ages ago until I was putting it was on this list.
A very nice list of books, Pam. I have a couple of these on my TBR shelf, and will be adding The Twilight Garden and I enjoyed her last book. Have a wonderful summer of reading.
I adored The Reading List, and hope I love this one just as much.
Great list, Pam! I hope you enjoy them. Happy Tuesday!
Hope you really enjoy all of these!
I’ve been meaning to read MAUS for forever. One of these days…I hope you enjoy all these!
Happy TTT!

I’ve always been curious about Maus. I hope you end up enjoying your time with all of these!
They all look so good. I need to go to GR and explore one or two a little more.
I still have to read Find Mr. Write, but I wonder if that book will be up my alley so won’t be adding the next one 🙂

Donut Fall in Love looks so cute, and I love a pun based title. Lol.
I really enjoyed Donut Fall in Love (and just read the author’s newest, Time Loops & Meet Cutes, which was fantastic!). I also really liked Writing Mr. Wrong — so much fun. Hope you love your summer reading!
I’ve enjoyed all of the other books my Lau that I’ve read, so I’m sure Donut Fall In Love will be a fun read too.
Hope you enjoy all on your Summer TBR! Have a great week!
Of course 5/10 is good! What a nice variety on your summer list. I hope you have fewer DNFs during this next quarter.
I’m hoping for fewer DNFs this quarter too. But sometimes it happens.
Ok… A Question Mark is Half a Heart sounds absolutely adorable! I have no clue what it’s about but that title has me in “awww” mode.

My True Love Gave to Me was such a fun anthology when I read it!
I’ve also got The Twilight Garden lingering on my TBR … maybe I’ll finally get around to it this Fall, it seems fallish to me 🙂
I hope you enjoy these books! Maus is a really good read, though it gets difficult at times too, given the subject matter. Still, definitely worth a read.
The cover for The Twilight Garden is gorgeous!
Ooh, I’ve heard so many wow things about Maus. Donut Fall in Love looks super cute as well! I hope you enjoy all of these books and have a wonderful summer of reading 🙂
I found My True Love Gave to Me in a charity shop a few months ago, so I’m aiming to read that this December! I like the sound of Writing Mr. Wrong as well 🙂
I love Maus, I hope you’ll enjoy it! I’ve also recently been reading books about Agatha Christie and really want to reread her books again. I hope you enjoy all your summer reads!
