This week over at the Broke and Bookish the topic for Top Ten Tuesday is:

Top Ten Books For Summer 2015 2014

I’ve had a bit of a cheat with this one because I think most of the books on my Summer TBR will be duplicates of the books I’m looking forward to for the rest of 2015 – which was posted last week.  So this week I’ve gone for the top 10 reads from last Summer:

1. Blood Song by Anthony Ryan – this was such a good book.  I’d put off reading it for a long while for some strange reason but I’m so happy that I’ve now picked it up.
2. Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson – this was a readalong that I took part in last year which was awesome – I love this series.
3. Icefall by Gillian Philip – this book was the last in series of the Rebel Angel books – this is such a good series – seriously I don’t think it gets as much recognition as it deserves.  And in terms of being a Summer read – what can I say, Seth is very easy on the mind!
4. Half a King by Joe Abercrombie – my first Abercrombie – really good and I’m looking forward to No.2.
5. The Martian by Andy Weir – this book is just so good, with lots of amusement.
6. Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer – scary – probably not your usual Summer read but very good nonetheless.
7. The Thousand Names by Django Wexler – my first Flintlock Fantasy.  Another that I have to get to the second book!
8. Age of Iron by Angus Watson – I loved this – I’m such a broken record ‘I need to get to No.2)
9. Red Rising by Pierce Brown – finally, I’ve already read No.2 and it was equally excellent.
10. City of Stairs by R J Bennett – this book is so damned fine that I will simply beg you to read it if you haven’t already done so.  I loved this.

Wow, I have to say – I read a lot of good books last Summer – hope this year is just as good and hope your reading is too.
