The New York Times’s Summer Reading Bucket List

Read along with the Book Review this summer: Can you check off five items before fall arrives? (This year, there are prizes!)

By The New York Times Books Staff

Welcome, dear readers, to our second annual Summer Reading Bucket List! As the weather gets balmier, we’ve been eagerly assembling our to-read piles and dreaming of gently swaying hammocks and sand-crusted beach chairs, a cool beverage at hand and uninterrupted hours stretching ahead with nothing to do but soak up the sunshine and get lost in some great books.

Now, the time is here. Over the next three months, we invite you to read along with us. We’ve put together a list of 10 literary to-dos: Can you get through at least five before summer ends?

Track your progress using our checklist. When you’re ready, you can submit your list using the form at the bottom of this story — and be entered into this year’s prize drawing! We may not be able to throw all of you a pizza party, but we will be selecting 10 readers to receive some goodies personally curated for you by our editors. All the details are in the form.Read the full piece (and see the list!) at the New York Times.
