Top Ten Books on My Summer 2020 TBR
Burn Our Bodies Down by Rory Power

More Better Deals by Joe R. Lansdale
Told with Joe Lansdale's trademark grit, wit, and dark humor, More Better Deals is a gripping tale of the strange characters and odd dealings that define 1960s East Texas.
Blacktop Wasteland by S.A. Cosby
From a stunning new voice in fiction, BLACKTOP WASTELAND is a dazzling, operatic crime novel that holds up a cracked mirror to the American dream. The perfect page-turning read for fans of acclaimed writers such as Don Winslow, Attica Locke, Bill Beverley and Thomas Mullen.
The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer
When Edward Cullen and Bella Swan met in Twilight, an iconic love story was born. But until now, fans have heard only Bella’s side of the story. At last, readers can experience Edward’s version in the long-awaited companion novel, Midnight Sun.
The Night Swim by Megan Goldin
Electrifying and propulsive, The Night Swim asks: What is the price of a reputation? Can a small town ever right the wrongs of its past? And what really happened to Jenny?
Home Before Dark by Riley Sager
In the latest thriller from New York Times bestseller Riley Sager, a woman returns to the house made famous by her father’s bestselling horror memoir. Is the place really haunted by evil forces, as her father claimed? Or are there more earthbound—and dangerous—secrets hidden within its walls?
Do you have plans to read any of these over the summer? What books are on your summer TBR?
This post is being shared as part of Top Ten Tuesday at That Artsy Reader Girl.
Ooh I hadn't heard of Harrow Lake but that sounds amazing. I want to read The Night Swim, and Home Before Dark was SO good.

I'm really excited about Harrow Lake!
DeleteI forgot Midnight Sun was coming out this summer, I can't wait. I'll also be reading Architects of Memory and The Only Good Indians. Summer is going to be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI usually slump through the summer, but it might just be impossible this year.
DeleteI have been seeing a lot of buzz for Burn Our Bodies Down, all positive. Hope you love all these once you read them
ReplyDeleteYay! I haven't seen much on Burn Our Bodies Down, but I'm really excited about reading it after loving Wilder Girls.
DeleteHarrow Lake sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT .
I think so, too! I'm excited to check it out.
DeleteHarrow Lake and The Shadows are two I really want to read, too. :)
ReplyDeleteSame!!
DeleteSo The Only Good Indians is one of my and Stormi's buddy reads this month. I finished it in 2 days and loved it. She is struggling and I thought she might. I can't wait to get my hands on Harrow Lake. For some reason it's just screaming at me!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to finally read The Only Good Indians. That's a bummer for Stormi, though. Harrow Lake is screaming at me, too.
DeleteAll of these look like good reads. I hope you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deanna!
DeleteI need to get the new Rory Power one. Architects of Memory looks good too. I remember seeing The Night Swim a while back and then forgot about it, so that's a good reminder. :) Three more to add to my list lol!
ReplyDeleteYay!! lol
DeleteI'm curious about Midnight Sun. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteI am, too. And my son is a big Twilight fan right now so it will be perfect for him, too.
DeleteI wasn’t interested in The Whisper Man, but I badly want to read The Shadows. I love the cover, and the plot sounds creepy. I hope you enjoy all these!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Same! I didn't read The Whisper Man either, but I really want to read The Shadows.
DeleteGreat list! I love mystery/thrillers, so a number of these titles are already on my TBR list. The cover of HARROW LAKE is so creepy, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
That cover of Harrow Lake! It is pretty creepy.
DeleteI'm listening to Home Before Dark now in audio - it's my first book by the author and I'm hooked! Very spooky haunted house story.
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Oooh, I wish I had the audio, too. I'm looking forward to this one. I really liked Lock Every Door.
