Ah, I can feel the Summer with this list! I love Sara Zarr's books and of course I'm looking forward to reading The Distance Between Us...great list! Your blog is adorable.

All of those books sound interesting. There are definitely a couple I plan to check out. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library looks wonderful. I bet both of my kids will enjoy it. I think I might try reading it aloud. Great cover. I just downloaded The Ocean at the End of the Lane today. I have never read anything by Neil Gaiman. The cover is strange and haunting almost.

Great list. Thanks for stopping by Momwithabook. Have a great summer.

I'm a fan of Deaver, too. Great pick.

You've listed some great books...I recently read Amity & Sorrow and it enjoyed it so much. Also I can't believe you've never read Matilda - I hope you enjoy it!

I thought Amity and Sorrow looked really interesting, too! I'll have to see what you think when you have a chance to read it. The Distance Between Us looks cute. :)

Great looking covers. Enjoy your summer reading.

Ooooo Matilda! I LOVED the movie, I can't believe I haven't read the book yet!

I should have added World War Z to my list too, need to read that before seeing the movie! Great list :)

Great list! We definitely have a different taste in books :-) but I do love a good YA Contemporary romance so I will be checking out The Distance Between Us. Thanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by my TTT!

Yay for Matilda! Have seen The Distance Between Us on a few lists today already. Hope you enjoy all of your books.

Matilda demands reading, ASAP. And I've Sara Zarr before and quite liked her work. You're in for a fun summer, enjoy:)

Great list! Yes on The Newcomer. (I enjoyed your comment over on my blog -- thanks for stopping by!)

Neil Gaiman's new book only barely missed making my TTT list. I loved Stardust, but found Coraline a bit creepy, and those are the only two I've read. I'm pretty sure I'm going to read The Ocean at the End of the Lane, but I'm a little uncertain whether I'll like it.

I've never read Matilda, either, and I probably should. And Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library looks like a lot of fun; I'll definitely look that one up!

Matilda!! It was one of my favourite books as a kid!! I can so relate to her bookwormishness! :) Enjoy!

I can't believe you haven't read Matilda. It's so amazing. I read it like five times one summer when I was a kid. It's so good. I'm a bit weird now. It's so good.

Your list is nice and varied :) I'd like to re-read Matilda - I'm sure there's a lot of humour that I didn't pick up on as a child. I bought The Lucy Variations but haven't been able to start reading it yet.

I've heard The Distance Between Us is amazing, and The Newcomer looks great too!

Fabulous list! Hope you enjoy them :)

Your number 9 book looks so cute! I'm definitely going to have to add that to my TBR list. And Matilda is such a good book! Great picks :)

Here's my Top Ten!

#9 look amaze balls! I want it right now! Amity and Sorrow intrigues me as well and I can't remember if I got approved for it or not.. great summer list!

I'm so excited to see The Newcomer on your list! I need to read The Wanderer ASAP and catch up.

Great list! I really need to read World War Z before I watch the movie :)

Here's my Top Ten

Oh, Matilda is such a wonderful story! I likened Harry Potter to it the first time I read the HP books.

I can't help but imagine Mara Wilson as Matilda now, though.

The Distance Between Us is on so many lists! I cannot believe I forgot it because that's definitely high up on my list. World War Z doesn't interest me in book form(I'm not a huge fan of zombies) but I will be seeing the movie with the boyfriend :P Great list :)

Lauren @ Lose Time Reading

I'm sort of intrigued by The Lucy Variations and World War Z. I thought Amity & Sorrow was okay, but there were some really interesting elements in it. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Happy reading!

You have quite an eclectic list! I like!
Thanks for stopping by my TTT!

'Matilda' is one of my favourites - it's the first real book that I remember reading and it holds a special place in my heart! Roald Dahl was such a wonderful children's writer! I hadn't heard anything about 'Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library' but I'll definitely check it out - it looks wonderful!

I really want to read Matilda, as well as World War Z, although I don't think I'll get to them quite yet. Also, Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library sounds exactly like my kind of book and I have now added it to my GR. I really need to try some Neil Gaiman soon too, I feel so behind, haha.

Yep. AMITY AND SORROW looks like something I would totally read. Afraid I'm too chicken to read WORLD WAR Z. Probably won't see the movie either as it will completely (and irrationally I hope) stress me out :)

Ah, I've been really wanting to read The Distance Between Us and iffy about the Lucy Variations. Amity and Sorrow does sound intriguing and I don't know why either :)

Thanks for stopping by my TTT!

Matilda was one of my FAVORITE books as a kid! So funny and quirky! I'm also excited about The Distance Between Us; I love the cover!

I just finished THE LUCY VARIATIONS and I lovedit! I am a musician, so I may have been a little biased about its content. But it's still relatable in lots of other ways!

World War Z is AWESOME! Amity & Sorrow is a bit intense, but I'm curious to hear what you think about it. Yay summer reading!

Great list! I remember my mom reading Matilda to me when I was young. I haven't ever read it myself before. No time like the present though right?

Great list!

Oh, yes I've been wanting to read THE LUCY VARIATIONS too! And MATILDA, you can't go wrong!

I'm glad you are enjoying The Distance Between Us. Definitely a great fluffy summer read. :)

Thanks for stopping by my post!

I missed amity and sorrow on netgalley, but I hope you will enjoy it.

I love Matilda! It's such a fun book. And several of these books look awesome. I never heard of Amity & Sorrow or Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library, but they're on my TBR list now.

Thanks for stopping by my TTT!

Ashling @ Reading, Writing, & Anything but Arithmetic

I really like the variety of your list! Thanks for stopping by my TTT!

these are good! good to know your top-ten

World War Z is a gripping read; I read it a few summers ago and it certainly had my heart rate up. I, too, cannot wait to read the new Gaiman.

It looks like you will have an excellent summer of reading.
