10 Fantasy Books I'll Have In My Beach Bag This Year



Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme run by The Broke and the Bookish.


I don’t know about you, but the weather here has been absolutely FREEZING cold the past couple of weeks, and it feels a little strange to be thinking about beaches when I’m kinda craving roaring log fires and hot chocolate!

I’m a mood reader and my reading tastes rarely change based on the seasons, and strangely, I usually read heavier fantasy and horror books during the summer and lighter, fluffy books in the autumn! I’m doing a little spin on the topic, and listing 10 fantasy books I plan to have within easy reach this summer. Hopefully a beach bag will be needed… but with Irish summer weather, I'm not holding my breath!




The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh

Shadow Study by Maria V. Snyder Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch

  1. This is a great list! There are quite a few of these I need to read yet.
    My tastes also rarely change based on the seasons.
    I also won't be needing a beach bag at all this summer. I live no where near a beach and will not be going to one at all. I'll probably be spending quite a bit of time in the mountains instead.
    Thanks for sharing your list!

    1. I'm not much of a beach visitor, either. Plus, sand getting in places it shouldn't can be such a pain!! Enjoy your time in the mountains! Funnily enough, I live very close to a beach, but rarely visit. Ireland and beach weather doesn't mix very well! Thanks for stopping by, Amanda!

  3. I see some that I can't wait to read! I currently have Fairest on my nightstand and can't wait to read it! Silver in the Blood, Red Queen, and The Wrath and the Dawn are some that I can't for!
