Top Ten Tuesday: Summer TBR

Posted June 23, 2026 by Nicky in General / 24 Comments

I am late to post today because I had a dentist appointment today (big sadness, but at least I should have a clean bill of dental health again), so I’ll make this quick! I recently posted my 20 Books of Summer list, but there are some others I’d love to get to…

The first five are non-fiction, and the second lot fiction!

Cover of How To Kill a Language by Sophia Smith Galer Cover of Laughter in Ancient Rome by Mary Beard Cover of English Food: A People's History by Diane Purkiss Cover of A Short History of the World in 50 Lies by Natashia Tidd Cover of City of the Sharp-Nosed Fish by Peter Parsons

Cover of Ode to the Half-Broken by Suzanne Palmer Cover of The Wife Comes First vol 2 by Lv Ye Qian He Cover of Butter by Asako Yuzuki Cover of Sweet Poison by Mary Fitt Cover of A Death in Door County by Annalise Ryan

It’s a bit of a random selection, but there’s a bunch of library books and recent purchases here, so I really ought to make time!

    • I’ve just got started with it! I was a bit surprised that there’s no chapter on Welsh or Gaelic, given stuff like Brad y Llyfrau Gleision and the Welsh Not, but she does mention them at least…

  1. Ugh, dentist appointment = big sadness is so relatable. I’ve been putting my follow up appointment off for ages ‍♀️ This looks like a great summer reading list. Ode the Half-Broken has really piqued my interest with that title and cover (gonna have to keep an eye out for it) and Butter has also been on my TBR for ages. I’ve been seeing it up pop-up again on my radar recently, so maybe it’s a sign to read it sooner rather than later? I hope you enjoy all of these books and happy reading!
