Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week's topic is: Top Ten Books on My Summer 2026 To-Read List

*going in order of how I plan to read them starting at 10

10. DRAGON CURSED by Elise Kova--Elise is touring here at the end of July, so I am hoping to read this one and her other one before the stop!
9. ARCANA ACADEMY by Elise Kova
8. NIGHTWEAVER by R.M. Gray--I am attending the Forbidden Love event in Nashville, also at the end of July, so I am hoping to read a handful of titles before then too! We'll see how far I can get through this list!

7. STARCHASER by R.M. Gray
6. SPARKING FIRE OUT OF FATE by Brigid Kemmerer--somehow missed the announcement that Brigid was also attending as I had to rewrite my list just last week! Lol.
5. THE LAST LOST GIRL by Casey L. Bond--been wanting to read this one and hoping to pick up another of Casey's books there since this is already signed!

4. THE FIRST LOST BOY by Casey L. Bond
3. THE MIRROR IN THE MOUNTAIN by Dana Evyn--aching to read this one after the first book's cliffhanger, I may need to up it in this tentative queue. 3-9 on this list are interchangeable since they are all at the same event!
2. SHATTERED MIRROR by Dana Evyn--okay, now I may need to wait to read book 2 as this one doesn't release until July 10th but I'll have it in time for said event! Lol.

1. THE NIGHTSHADE GOD by Hannah Whitten--bought my ticket either last week or two weeks ago for her August stop here, and I just realized I never added this to my Goodreads list! Whelp! Still need to read it obviously!
