I love the NPR Summer Books list. I look forward to it every year.
Most of my reading list comes from NPR recommendations.
The books I have added to my reading list this year (and the NPR critics’ list they came from):
- The Ocean at the End of the Lane (from Secrets Of The Universe: 5 Great SF And Fantasy Summer Reads)
- The Shining Girls (from Secrets Of The Universe: 5 Great SF And Fantasy Summer Reads)
- Love Minus Eighty (from Secrets Of The Universe: 5 Great SF And Fantasy Summer Reads)
- We are all Completely Beside Ourselves (from Secrets Of The Universe: 5 Great SF And Fantasy Summer Reads)
- Missing Links and Secret Histories (from Secrets Of The Universe: 5 Great SF And Fantasy Summer Reads)
- I Await the Devil’s Coming (from Lost And Found: 5 Forgotten Classics Worth Revisiting)
- Waiting for the Barbarians (from Making Art From Art: 5 Nonfiction Reads For Summer)
- The Curiosity (from Summer Adventure: 5 Thrilling, Chilling, Far-Ranging Reads)
- Exercises in Style (from Lost And Found: 5 Forgotten Classics Worth Revisiting)
- One Thousand and One Nights (from Lost And Found: 5 Forgotten Classics Worth Revisiting)
Obviously the entire list of SF/Fantasy reads makes up the first 5.
And, typically, as I read the description of each one I thought to myself “OMG That sounds really good!”
