Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Years of August Reading


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. It's been a while since I played along, but this week's prompt was too interesting to skip! 

What did your last ten years of August reading look like? I chose one memorable August book from each of the last ten summers.



2025 - Abide with Me by Elizabeth Strout
Last summer I became an Elizabeth Strout completist!


2024 - The Annotated Persuasion by Jane Austen, David Shapard
Another year of Austen in August


2023 Tom Lake by Ann Patchett
When Ann Patchett publishes a new novel, I read it immediately!


2022 Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
I loved this audio production and can still hear the voice of Marcellus!


2021 - The Street by Ann Petry
What a memorable experience it was to read this classic in the author's hometown!


2020 - Beach Read by Emily Henry
If ever there was a summer that called for light reading, 2020 was it!


2019 - The Leavers by Lisa Ko
I still think about this book and, sadly, it's still relevant.


2018The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand
If it's summer, there must be a new Elin Hiderbrand novel!



2017 - My Life with Bob by Pamela Paul
Delightfully bookish memoir from the former editor of the NYTimes Book Review.


2016Dear Committee Members by Julie Schumacher
Very funny... in a passive-aggressive kind of way!
