Yesterday on a whim I asked you guys for book recommendations on my Instagram Story and was blown away by not only all the different suggestions I was sent, but the amount of requests for me to put together a summer 2018 reading list! So what does any normal person in my situation do? Spend two hours sorting every single book and the number of times it was recommended into an an Excel spreadsheet, of course!
By the time I finished going through all my DMs I literally had a list of 100+ books. There’s absolutely no way I could read that many in one year, let alone a summer, so to keep things realistic let’s start with the top 25. Disclaimer: I did mention that I prefer suspense and mysteries, so I have a feeling most of these fall into that genre 🙂

I’ve read 7 of these, and they were all great! Several others on this list are on my list of books to read, too. An excellent list for summer reading. I look forward to your reviews of the ones I haven’t yet read.
Paulo says
Katie you should read “The Breakdown” by B.A Paris! I’ve read most of the books in your reading list and the breakdown was my favourite!
