Chuckles Summer Reading List

I've been thinking about putting together a book list for my upcoming summer reading to try and keep me motivated from June until the end of August. The plan is to pick books for challenges I'm doing so I can get ahead in those before we get into autumn and winter, and to pick books from different genres so I don't get fed up with reading and can switch between them as and when I feel like it. 

This list is not a set list of everything I'm going to read. I prefer to think of it as a possibility list to give me options in a lot of genres so I can pick by my mood. It doesn't matter how many I get done as long as I keep reading through the summer!

Progress is already being made and I'm in a reading frenzy at the moment! I changed my choice for H as I was reading a few Powder Mage short stories ready for reading the first novel and noticed one was H so Hell Divers has been temporarily bumped. I added those short stories onto my list. I also had to take out Dead Ascent after realising I've already read it, putting Bigfoot in its place. My zombie reads have been disappointing so far but non fiction has gone well. Fingers crossed I get lots of these read this summer!
