I feel like I am finally coming to the end of school, projects are due, summatives are done, exams are coming, and I only have four more days of class! It is crazy! And I am crazy excited for summer! 

With summer comes time! I can finally spend a whole day reading/writing/blogging and not have to worry about school work! 

There are a few reading plans/goals I have for summer ’17, so I thought I’d share them!

#1: Read 20 books!

I am SO behind on my goodreads goal… like too far to even admit, so I have to use my time to catch up! I think I read about 15 books last summer, so I thought I’d challenge myself with 20 this year!

#2: Finish the Throne of Glass series!

This month I finally started Sarah J. Maas’s first series, and I want to finish them before Tower of Dawn comes out, and summer is the perfect time! I’m also already on Crown of Midnight so only 4 more after this one!

#3: Start/finish at least 3 more series!

Half of my shelves are full of series that I’ve either started and not finished, or haven’t even started at all, so this summer I need to knock some of them off my TBR! Some choices are:

  • Illuminae & Gemina
  • The Grisha Trilogy & The Six Of Crows Duology
  • The Darkest Minds Trilogy
  • The Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy
  • This Savage Song & Our Dark Duet
  • The Miss Peregrine’s Series

And honestly there is more. I NEED to read some of these! 


Those are my three goals/plans for summer reading! Pretty simple but I don’t want too much pressure while summer reading because 1) It is for fun! and 2) I don’t want to fall into a slump!

Do you have any reading plans for the summer? How many books are you planning on reading?

Also, if you love any of the series I mentioned in #3, please let me know! If a lot of people suggest one I’ll read it first!

I am also thinking about doing a little follow up post to this in September, to see if I met my goals, so stay tuned for that!

  1. Good luck reaching your goal!! I don’t have an actual amount of books I’d like to read, but I do have a more generalized goal of “read more.” lol hopefully that encourages me 😛

    1. Thank you! Yeah I tried the ‘read more’ method last summer and read a ton, so I thought I’d give myself a goal this summer!

  2. YES YES YES SIX OF CROWS DEFINITELYYYYYYYYY. ❤ ❤ It is honestly SO amazing and you will never be the same after reading it. (Okay, maybe not THAT extreme. XD) Daughter of Smoke and Bone… everyone seems to love that but I DNFed the last book (though I did SOMEWHAT enjoy the first books). I'm planning on buddy reading Illuminae, so I'm looking forward to that! I've heard it's a great book. Good luck on your GR reading challenge! ❤

    1. Thanks May! I’ll definitely read the Grisha series and then SoC then! I’ve heard so many good things I’m SO EXCITED! I’ve heard sm about Daughter of Smoke and Bone too but haven’t had the urge to pick it up yet so we shall see!

      If you need someone to buddy read Illuminae with I’d love too! (If you already have people I understand though! We can still talk about our thoughts!) ❤
