Top Ten Tuesday is an original blog meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and is currently being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is “Books on My Summer 2020 TBR.” Sorry not sorry, but I had to make this list fifteen books long. I could not narrow it down anymore. Also want to note that I didn’t list books I have already read (**cough** Mexican Gothic **cough**) because I wanted these to be books I am personally looking forward to, even though I am personally looking forward to other people reading Mexican Gothic, haha. Also these should be in publication date order but with everything moving around, it was a losing battle to try to get it to be so. Covers are linked to Goodreads.

Are you looking forward to any of these as well? Let me know in the comments and be sure to leave me a link to your own TTT post, so I can visit.
Still need to read a book by Sandhya (at this point, I have quite a few to choose from!), and yours is the second list I’ve seen “You Had me at Hola” on. Haven’t heard of it before, but it sounds like it could be a fun read. Happy summer TBR-ing, Alicia. 🙂

Ten Things I Hate About Pinky makes me think of Ten Things I Hate About You, which makes me want to read it. I don’t know if there’s any other similarities between the two, but it doesn’t really matter. LOL I hope you love it!

All of her romcoms are titles after famous film romcoms but necessarily retellings. This one is a hate to love romance though.
