The 20 Books of Summer challenge is back again this year hosted by Annabelle at AnnaBookBel.

• The challenge runs from Monday June 1st to Monday August 31st
• The first rule of 20 Books is that there are no real rules, other than signing up for 10, 15 or 20 books and trying to read from your TBR. (If you think you’ll only manage 5, that’s fine too.)
• Pick your list in advance, or nominate a bookcase to read from, or pick just at whim from your TBR.
• If you do pick a list, you can change it at any time – swap books in/out.
• Don’t get panicked at not reaching your target, it’s not really a challenge as such.
• Just enjoy a summer of great reading and make a bit of space on your shelves!
• Don’t forget to add your posts to the monthly linkys. The final one will stay open till for a week into September to catch the last reviews.

I’ve taken part most years but usually never manage to read all the books I’ve listed, so this year I’m not listing any in advance, apart from the four books on my NetGalley shelf, all due to be published between now and the end of July.

• The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett, because I enjoyed her book The Help.
• Love Lane by Patrick Gale, because I enjoyed his book A Perfectly Good Man.
• The Recruit by L D Sharpe, because I like spy thrillers.
• This Immortal Heart by Jennifer Saint, because I enjoy Greek Mythology.

Apart from that they’ll all be books I pick as the fancy takes me from my TBRs in my ‘real’ bookcases and on my Kindle. The photo below shows some of my shelves.
