How is it that time of year already?!! I can remember picking out my books for 2020 what seems like last week! But here we are and the fabulous Cathy over at 746 BOOKS is setting up the 20 Books of Summer once again! And it’s my favourite time of the year! Time to get some books off the TBR mountains!
The rules are simple – sign up to read either 10, 15, or 20 books over the Summer months from the 1st June to 1st September – and join in the fun using the hashtag #20booksofsummer21 to help and support everyone else in achieving their dream!
I always like to change things up as to how I pick my books for the Summer months – and it never gets any easier!! Sat here surrounded by physical books as well as being shocking embarrassed by all the digital books I have stashed away (out of sight, out of mind!) I really never know how to narrow down the choice! BUT this year I’m going simple!! I’ve just taken a look at my Netgalley shelf and I am shamed!! It is in the high treble figures and that is just awful! So I’m going to clear a page of Netgalley reads! That matches the 20 perfectly! I’ve gone for my most recent additions and maybe this will now inspire me to go back and explore the others! Let’s just hope I don’t keep adding to the shelf over the Summer!
So here’s my run down of what I’m hoping to read – I’d best get my Kindle charged up and ready to go!! Click on the book title for a link to the GoodReads blurb!

You’re right, it’s totally a case of out of sight out of mind with ebooks. I have nearly weaned myself off NetGalley because it’s just too easy for me to forget about them. You have a few books on you’re list I’m intrigued by so I’ll be keeping an eye out for your thoughts.

Hopefully I’ll have good things to report back on most of the books haha! Ooh I’m so jealous you broke free of the Netgalley addiction lol! I really need to do the same! Or only request one when I’ve read one! 😉
