Bookish Summer Bucket List

We're one day into summer, and I love making a bucket list, goals, or reading lists to get me through my least favorite season! The problem is, I forget about goals and am too much of a mood reader to get through TBR lists. So I'm trying a bit of a combo and making a bookish bucket list.


Most of these things are things I've been wanting to do for a while. Might as well write them down and see if I can get them done between now and Sept 23 (the first day of fall).

  • Make a book trailer // working on that this week!
  • Reread a book // sooo many choices
  • Request a book from the library // I just figured out how to do this, and I'm thrilled!
  • Work on ML edits out of the house // because edits need to happen anyway
  • Do a book photo shoot // summer + MH = ❤
  • Write by dictation // out of curiosity
  • Plot in a coffee shop // in lieu of Camp NaNo
  • Meet up with a writer friend // literally one of my favorite things ever
  • Donate a book to a birdhouse // you know, those public swap things? my town finally has one!
  • Listen to an audiobook while driving // haven't really tried this and really want to
  • Bonus: Read on the beach // September *cough*
  • Bonus: Share a cover reveal // Martin Legacy coming up!

And there we are! Ten (plus two!) bookish things for my summer. Can't wait to see what I manage to get done. But first ... I have four manuscripts to finish editing. Have a terrific summer!

What book do you want to read this summer? Any summery recommendations?

I've got some extras for you today!

    I love this list! Bookish photoshoot and donating a book to a Little Free Library sound awesome! *Rubs hands together* I need to do these.
    Also, I am super excited for the cover reveal!!

    Nice list. Good Luck in accomplishing many things on the list. I want to read a history book,though I just started the Elsie series. Summer is my least favorite season too.

      Thanks, Marion! It's been ages since I read the Elsie series, but I hope you enjoy it! Glad to hear I'm not the only one who dislikes summer. :P

    Summer is my least favorite season, too hot and too many bugs. I just started to read "Wives and Daughters" by Elizabeth Gaskell. It is 6oo plus pages, so I will not be reading any other books right now. I like your bucket list.

      Yeah that about sums it up xD I love that story, although I admit I know it from the miniseries and not the book. I hope you enjoy reading it! Thanks for the comment, Marilyn. :)

    Love your list! Audiobooks while driving is really the best way to read a book and drive and not wreck ;) Highly recommended! Plus makes long road trips pass nicely. Meeting up with writer friends at end of such road trips are THE BEST! Then you can mark two things off at once ;)
