Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
- Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
- Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
- Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books on My Summer 2025 To-Read List. I did something similar a few weeks ago listing the first ten titles from my massive TBR pile that I’m hoping to read for the 20 Books of Summer 2025 reading challenge which runs from 1st June to 31st August. Here are the other ten books on my list. Links from the title will take you to the book description on Goodreads.
- Force of Nature by Jane Harper
- The Legacy of Elizabeth Pringle by Kirsty Wark
- Appetite by Philip Kazan
- Tombland by C. J. Sansom (audiobook)
- Anna of Kleve by Alison Weir
- A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain by Robert Olen Butler
- Washington Black by Esi Edugyan
- All The Lives We Never Lived by Anuradha Roy
- Blood Orange by Harriet Tyce
- The Cross and the Curse by Matthew Harffy











Love your reading list! I recently dived into the Aaron Falk series with Exiles – quite liked it, but I need to read the series from the start now. I have the Alison Weir queens series on my TBR as well – just will not be able to get to it this summer.

I read Washington Black a few years ago and enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy reading all of these when you get the chance.
