These are the last books that I bought/borrowed.
Which one should I read first?
What to Read Next?
Crash Into You by Katie McGarry
This is the third book in the Pushing the Limits series. I loved the first two so am looking forward to this one.
What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick
I really liked My Life Next Door and this one is a stand-alone so I won’t be pining for the sequel!
Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson
Morgan Matson writes beautifully. I loved Since You’ve Been Gone and Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour so I have high hopes for this one.
The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider
This one has had lots of positive reviews.
I’m Not Her by Janet Gurtler
I’m not sure about this one, but I love the cover.
Life by Committee by Corey Ann Haydu
I’ve been told by someone I trust that this is good – I’m holding her too that!
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
This one has had so much hype and rave reviews so I hope it lives up to expectations.
Lies I Told by Michelle Zink
This is the only eBook on my list, which may drop to the bottom of the list as I tend to read physical books first, they are a much more visual reminder to “read me!” It’s also the one I’ve heard the least about.
Open Road Summer by Emery Lord
Another book with stellar reviews. I’ve also just noticed that all ten books on my list are contemporary fiction. Guess I’m having a break from fantasy…
Say What You Will by Cammie Mcgovern
This one has been compared to Eleanor & Park, and as you know I love Rainbow Rowell’s writing. I hope I am not going to be disappointed.
Have you read any of these?
Which one should I start with?

I haven’t read any of these, but I really like to cover of Life By Committee. I hope you enjoy them 🙂
Literary Feline
I haven’t read any of the books on your list except for The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, which I ended up loving. I’m especially interested in The Beginning of Everything on your list.
Angelica @ Paperback Princess
Sue I like the “Say what you will” cover, but I’d probably vote for “Second Chance Summer” or “Crash Into You”.
Thanks for visiting my blog 😀

I haven’t read any of these books at all, but they look like an interesting bunch. I’ve heard only good things of ‘The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian’ though. Also, there are some AMAZING covers in that bunch. I do love a good cover.
Cristina @ Girl in the Pages
I just finished My Life Next Door and I really enjoyed it! I personally can’t wait to explore more of Huntley Fitzpatrick’s writing, plus it’s a perfect read for summer!
Tiffani @ THE BOOK VENOM
I love the fonts on the cover of Say What You Will <3
Tiffany
Your list is lovely with a very summery vibe. I’m adding a few to my TBR summer list.
Happy reading.
Alison Doherty
Oh man. I love a lot of these books, but I’m going to suggest starting with What I Thought Was True. That one totally knocked my socks off.
Anne @HeadFullofBooks
Sue, I just followed you on Google Plus. I have a favor. What are some titles of YA books published in South Africa in the last five years or so. I am doing a project with my students about students from other cultures and I just have not found too many YA books coming out of Africa. Either answer on my blog or my email.
Thanks,

“The Beginning of Everything” because I saw it in a bookstore today and I wanted to get it but I’m on a book-buying ban so maybe you can read it and let me know how it is.

I loved Roger and Amy’s epic detour, so I have no doubt that second chance summer will be just as great. It’s been on my TBR pile for quite a while. Great list!
Jane
What a fun list!! I actually haven’t read any of those novels yet, but they sound great!
Check out my TTT post: https://greenishbookshelf.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/top-10-tuesday-recently-acquired-books/
Michelle @ Pink Polka Dot Books
What I Thought was True!!! I really need to read that! I love Huntley Fitzpatrick, but I just keep forgetting about it! I read Crash Into You and it wasn’t my fav of that series. It’s worth reading because ISAIAH!! Also Open Road Summer sounds good… I’ve only heard great things about it! Thanks for stopping by my list!
Grace @ Rebel Mommy Book Blog
I actually own Beginning of Everything and Say What You Will but haven’t gotten to them yet. A lot of the others are one son my TBR – Hope you enjoy them all!
Chrissi Reads
Ahhh, there are so many wonderful books on your list! I highly recommend Second Chance Summer and Open Road Summer. They are both wonderful! Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier!
Rissi
I’m really curious about ‘Lies I Told,’ ‘Second Chance Summer’ and ‘Open Road Summer.’ I read Emery’s second novel and loved it, so I’m hoping her debut is really good too. 🙂 Happy reading, Sue – and thanks for visiting Dreaming Under the Same Moon!
Michelle @ FAB BOOK REVIEWS
I adored Second Chance Summer! I too love Matson’s writing, so if you’re looking for an emotional and beautiful YA summer read, this would be it.
Sherman Alexie’s writing is so, so good and The Absolutely True Diary is just wonderful- meaty and unique.
I also have Life by Committee and Open Road Summer on my TBR pile! 🙂
Thanks so much for stopping by my TTT 🙂
Kaitlin @ Reading is My Treasure
Exciting list! I recommend starting with Crash Into You, especially since you loved the first two in the series. Life by Committee is GREAT. I hope you love it!
Krystianna
Great list! I really want to check out Morgan Matson’s books. Everyone seems to love them so much. Same with Huntley Fitzpatrick’s books. Have a great week!
Krystianna @ Downright Dystopian
Ju @ Fictional Skylines
Say What You Will was a nice, heartwarming read but I feel like the ending was rushed in some ways 🙂 I don’t know the other books on here but they look like nice summery, beach reads!
Alicia @ A Kernel of Nonsense
I haven’t read any of these, but they look like great summery reads. Hope you enjoy all of these!
Elizabeth
Oh man I forgot to add The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian to my list! I was pretty excited to buy it since I know myself well enough to know that I’m too easily distracted by shiny new covers at the library to pick it up and now that I own it I HAVE to read it!
Hollie
Second Chance Summer is amazing, I absolutely LOVED it. I just finished Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider so I’m looking forward to reading The Beginning of Everything soon as well.
Mark @ Mark My Reviews
Open Road Summer is, I’ve heard, excellent. Life by Committee wasn’t for me, but I’m excited to get to her other YA, OCD Love Story. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by my TTT!
Charnell @ Reviews from a Bookworm
So many awesome books you have got your hands on. Open Road Summer is one I read recently and really loved, made me get the authors other book and will definitely be reading more by her. I hope you enjoy all of these! 🙂 Here’s my TTT!
Rosy @ The Review Diaries
I absolutely loved ‘Extraordinary Means’ by Robyn Schneider, and I can’t wait to read the rest of her books. I’d definitely recommend starting with ‘The Beginning of Everything’!
My TTT

Of course, I should start with the Beginning of Everything! That would make sense. Can’t believe I missed that 🙂
Rosy @ The Review Diaries
Ha! Didn’t even twig when I suggested it! Definitely the place to start! 😉
Tiffany @ The Bookish Thought
I’ve only read Second Chance Summer and love it! It’s a great books about family. The Beginning of Everything sounds like the kind a book that will make me cry xD I’m still looking forward for it, though 😀
Happy reading!
Bookworm Inkorporated
Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is a fantastic book.!
Lucy
This looks like the perfect summer reading list! I haven’t read any of these but I would start with Open Road Summer as I really fancy a road trip nook at the moment. Happy reading!

Open Road Summer it is! It is winter here in South Africa, and although we have a very mild winter compared to the Northen Hemisphere it is cold enough to make me long for summer!
crushingcinders
Thank you! Happy reading 🙂
