Summer Reading Pile

So, last week I talked about my out-of-control TBR pile and even showed pictures. This week I want to show you which ones I decided to take home with me for summer reading. There really isn't any rhyme of reason to the way I chose these. They are just the ones that looked good when I was packing the bag.

Here are my picks in order of the date I added them to my TBR mountain.

The Heist by Janet Evanovich & Lee Goldberg (2/25/2014)

Melting the Ice by Jaci Burton (3/3/2014)

A lot of these are second books in series. I read the first one before I added the second book to the stack and am going to give the second or third, etc. a try without re-reading the earlier books. Some of these are also beginnings of longer series. I am going to try to stop the series after these. Remember, my goal is to get things off my TBR Pile. I don't want to just exchange one book for another. 

Wish me luck!
