Summer 2020 TBR

Way back in March, which truly seems like a lifetime ago, I wrote out my Spring TBR. From that list, I read exactly half (all links lead to my reviews):

Between Sisters- Cathy Kelly: 2 Stars

All The Bright Places- Jennifer Niven: 4 Stars

House Rules- Ruby Lang: 4 Stars

The Mall- Megan McCafferty: 3 Stars

Autoboyagraphy- Christina Lauren* (in progress)

That's not to say I only read 4 books the whole season; I read 20 in total. It's just that the other ones on my Spring TBR list didn't capture my attention or mood at the time, and I'm a mood reader. Well that, and on June 1st the new Book Challenge By Erin (my favorite bi-annual reading challenge) categories were released, and I realized that some of the books on my Spring TBR could be used for that. I'm also sticking with my new year's goal of trying to read mostly what I already own, which is even more important now that my library is still closed. According to the calendar it' still spring until June 20th, but close enough to start making my Summer TBR // BCBE 13.0!

When I originally wrote my Erin 13.0 / Summer TBR, it was June 1st. Just a few days prior to that, as many of you I'm sure know, the riots and peaceful protests started due to the George Floyd incident. That's not to say that I plan on changing all of my original choices (because that would be a lot of extra work for the admin who helps run BCBE), but it's not to say I won't either. I guess only time will tell. But with that in mind, I want to focus and highlight some BIPOC authors for the challenge and summer.
