Six Books I Plan To Read This Summer

Thank you, thank you @the-dream-team & @relyingonoldships for the tag. Sorry that this took forever to do, as I’ve had an exhausting 3-day weekend.

1. Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Tell You Everything You Need To Know About Global Politics by Tim Marshall

I am currently reading this, and though it’s outdated, maundering, and I disagree with quite a few of the terms used, it has still been an interesting read.

2. Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I’m jumping on the bandwagon, as I’ve heard good things about this book and author. I’m starting with this one, as I love reading about the seventies (naturally).

3. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Same reasons as above.

4. The Bread the Devil Knead by Lisa Allen-Agostini

This isn’t my usual sort of book, but I have had heard excellent things about it and modern Trinidadian fiction in general. It is probably the book I’m most looking forward to this summer.

5. How to Read Literature by Terry Eagleton

Every now and then I miss my degree and regret not doing more academic reading, so I buy a book to get the old brain cells working again. This is one of those books.

6. Pride: The Unlikely Story of the True Heroes of the Miner's Strike by Tim Tate

I was initially not going to read this book, as I believed it was a depiction of a LGBTQ+, working class experience written by a straight, middle-class man. However, after learning more about the story from the @queerasfact podcast and finding out that it is more of a collation of interviews than a rewrite, I have decided to give it a go.
