Hi everybody, and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday!
Today we’re talking about the books on our summer TBR and as I do must summers, I’ll be focusing not only on new releases, but also on backlist books and re-reads. So without further ado, here’s my summer 2022 TBR:
The New Releases
Husband Material (Boyfriend Material #2) by Alexis Hall
Release date: August 2nd 2022
Boyfriend Material was one of my favorite reads of 2020 and now we’re getting a sequel? More Luc and Oliver? YES YES YES YES YES (I’m definitely excited.)
Fence, Vol 5: Rise by C.S. Pacat
Release Date: August 16th 2022
I’m still not sure how I even got into a comic series about fencing of all things, but here we are. I love this series for its found family aspect, the humor, and the slow burn romance (like, really REALLY SLOW BURN) and I’m super excited we’ll finally get volume 5 in August.
The American Roommate Experiment by Elena Armas
Release date: August 18th 2022
I loved The Spanish Love Deception, so I’m super excited for Rosie’s story. Plus, forced proximity is always a nice trope!
Love On The Brain by Ali Hazelwood
Release date: August 23rd 2022
I have adored Ali Hazelwood’s first novel, The Love Hypothesis, as well as her novellas, so OF COURSE I’m super excited for her next release! Plus, it has enemies-to-lovers AND more women in science, so I’m in!
The Backlist
So This Is Ever After by F.T. Lukens
This book explores what happens after the chosen one wins the kingdom… and is forced to married to keep both his kingdom and his life. Also, I am getting a friends-to-lovers vibe and an Arthur/Merlin vibe from this blurb and I AM HERE FOR IT.
Something Wilder by Christina Lauren
I will always be excited for any new Christina Lauren release as they always end up on my yearly favorites lists, so I have high hopes for this second-chance romance.
Never Been Kissed by Timothy Janovsky
This just sounds like such a fun, feel-good summer read and I am already so excited to read it!
Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch
This book has been on my TBR for years and I still haven’t read it. Not sure why, because I love everything about Italy and gelato… But now the adaptation is out on Netflix and I want to read the book before watching it.
The Re-Reads
Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall
Umm, OF COURSE I’ll be re-reading Boyfriend Material in preparation for Husband Material!
All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata
I only just read this small-town romance last year and I’m already itching for a re-read.
Red White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
This would be my third or fourth re-read, but the recent casting news for the movie adaptation has gotten me so excited again so yes…. re-read time!
The Steel and Stone series by Annette Marie
I’ve been saying I need to re-read this series in preparation for the upcoming follow-up series Blackfire for a while now, but this summer’s the time, I can feel it.
Tell Me:
What’s on your summer 2022 TBR?
Mostly new releases, or are you also planning some backlist reads and/or re-reads?
Hadn’t heard of So This is Ever After before but the way you talk about it has definitely got me intrigued. Good luck with your TBR!
My Summer TBR.
I just started So This Is Ever After and it’s a lot of fun so far!
Awesome list, Lindsey! I’m so looking forward to reading Something Wilder, Boyfriend Material, Never Been Kissed and Love on the Brain! 😍 I picked up Fence a couple years ago, sped through the series but its now been years so I’m probably really behind. I’d love to re-start it cos I really enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy all these reads!
Yay for the Fence love! It’s been a few years since the last volume was released so I don’t think you missed a lot. I definitely need to re-read before I start the new volume too 🙂
I absolutely can’t wait to get my hands on Love On The Brain. I’m so excited for it! 😀
Me too, I’m so excited! Hmmm, maybe I should reread The Love Hypothesis while I wait 😀
I feel the same as you about Love and Gelato!
I also want to read the book first and then watch the Netflix adaptation.
I need to start reading Ali Hazelwood as well…
Elza Reads
Hope we’ll both love Love and Gelato! (The book and the Netflix adaptation) 🙂
I haven’t read Love & Gelato yet either.
My post: https://lydiaschoch.com/top-ten-tuesday-books-on-my-summer-2022-to-read-list/
Hope we’ll both get to it some time soon 🙂
I cannot tell you how excited I am for Husband Material!!
Me too, I’m so excited!
I love that you have a mix of old , backlist and reread!
It’s my summer ritual haha 🙂
I’ve recently caught on to Annette Marie’s works, and they always hit just the right SFF notes for me. Love that she’s there on your list!
Yay, so glad to hear you got into Annette Marie books! I love her books so much, it honestly rarely happens that there’s no book by her on my list haha 🙂
Husband Material looks really good.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
It really does! 🙂
I hope you enjoy all of these!
My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2022/06/28/top-ten-tuesday-374/
Thanks so much!
🙂
I love that you have a section for rereads! I need to make more time to reread some of my favorites. And I definitely need to reread (well, re-listen) to Boyfriend Material before Husband Material releases!
I try to reread often, it always makes me happy to reread favorites 🙂 And Boyfriend Material was definitely a fave! So looking forward to Husband Material <3
I can’t wait to read Something Wilder!
Me too!
Awesome choices! I so look forward to Love & Gelato. I hope you enjoy reading all of these!
Thanks so much!
Love and Gelato was really good, I thought- and the Netflix show looks fun too!
Glad to hear you liked Love and Gelato! I hope to start the book (and the show) soon.
I need to read the next two books in that series now 🙂
Hope you’ll also love the next books in the series!
A great list! I hope you enjoy these when you get the opportunity to read them.

Definitely some good books to look forward to 🙂
I’m excited to read Love on the Brain too! I really want to get to Boyfriend Material – all my friends have loved it!
Book Trek
Oh, I hope you’ll love Boyfriend Material too!
I’m excited to read Husband Material, too. I just read the first, so I don’t need a reread yet. I wouldn’t mind rereading Rhodes, though. I miss those characters. I need a new one from her soon-ish.
Yes, I keep looking for new releases from Mariana Zapata, but I didn’t find anything yet. But that said, I still have a huuuge backlist of hers I need to read so maybe I should start there haha 🙂
Yes, check out her backlist. She doesn’t usually say she’s releasing a book until it’s almost out. Now is a good time to catch up.
I am so ready for Husband Material! Loved the first book.
I was also just gifted So This is Ever After so I’m excited to read that.

I’m almost finished with So This Is Ever After and I’m loving it a lot – hope you will too!
I’m excited for so many of these, especially Husband Material and Love on the Brain. I hope you enjoy all of these. 🙂
Thanks! Hope we’ll both adore Husband Material and Love on the Brain!
I don’t think I read Love & Gelato yet either, but goodness it sure sounds cute! Hope we both enjoy it once finally we read it. 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland on this week; apologies for the delay in visiting here.
Love and Gelato does sound super cute – hope we’ll both enjoy it when we get to it 🙂
