Dear World,
As much as I love television and movies...nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to a good book. For whatever reason, this summer I have already been sucked into a blackhole of books. I have even found a new author that I am obsessed with.
So even though it is only May, here are my book suggestions for books to read this summer. And sorry gentlemen, most of these are a little girly!
All descriptions graciously provided by Barnes & Noble!
1. Girl Online and Girl Online: On Tour By Zoe Sugg
A coming-of-age novel that perfectly captures what it means to grow up and fall in love in today’s digital world.
And then.
The sequel; Penny joins her rock-star boyfriend on the road in Europe. When Noah invites Penny on his first-ever European tour, she can’t wait to spend the summer with her rock-god-tastic boyfriend. But, between Noah’s jam-packed schedule, less-than-welcoming band mates, and threatening
2. Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes by Denise Grove Swank
"Though much of the book is light-hearted and occasionally outright hilarious, the author sneaks in a few home truths along the way that will hit you where it counts, like how even someone’s best intentions can box you in." --Everybody Needs a Little Romance
3. Pretend You Don't See Here by Mary Higgins Clark
Mary Higgins Clark sends chills down readers’ spines with the story of Lacey Farrell, a rising star on the Manhattan real estate scene. One day, while showing a luxurious skyline co-op, Lacey is witness to a murder—and to the dying words of the victim...
4. Symptoms of Being Human by Jeff Garvin
Once I opened this book I was so shocked. I honestly picked it because I liked the title, so I went into it blind and this was honestly the most amazing book about a pressing issue.
Riley Cavanaugh is many things: Punk rock. Snarky. Rebellious. And gender fluid. Some days Riley identifies as a boy, and others as a girl. But Riley isn't exactly out yet. And between starting a new school and having a congressman father running for reelection in über-conservative Orange County, the pressure—media and otherwise—is building up in Riley's life.
5. The Deepest Cut By J.A. Templeton
This is the first book then it goes: The Haunted, The Departed and then The MacKinnon Curse. However, The MacKinnon Curse is a 67 page prequel; a great back story I read after The Deepest Cut, almost wish I had read it first. Precede as you wish!
Sixteen-year-old Riley Williams has been able to see ghosts since the car crash that took her mother's life and shattered her family. Guilt-ridden over the belief that she's somehow responsible for her mom's death, Riley is desperate to see her mother's elusive spirit to gain her forgiveness.
Obviously some of these are more than one book. However, you will understand once you read the first one that you will NEED to read the rest of the series. I can do another update next month with some more of my absolute favorite books that you may want to read!
Sincerely,
Your Fellow Book Lover
