Summer Reading List

Jun 29, 2014 · 4 Comments

2014 Summer Reading list this image

After asking the question ‘what do you do to beat the summer heat?’ as part of the Sizzling Summer Giveaway & Blog Hop (speaking of which…have you entered yet? Lot’s of absolutely GREAT prizes!) a surprising number of respondents answered with one of my favorite summertime activities … reading a good book!

So after recently finishing the amazing  The Fault in Our Stars, and Where’d You Go, Bernadette I read two books on the more serious/learning side: The Martha Rules: 10 Essentials for Achieving Success and The $100 Startup.

Now it’s summertime and I am sharing my reading list –

  • The Tao of Martha: My Year of LIVING; Or, Why I’m Never Getting All That Glitter Off of the Dog
  • Lies that Chelsea Handler Told Me (A Chelsea Handler Book/Borderline Amazing)
  • Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls
  • The Art Forger
  • Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar–Your Brain’s Silent Killers
  • Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead

Thank you to all who have suggested books…I’d love to hear some of  your summer reads or favorite books!

    I just finished Class of 98 which was a fun read, although you might be a bit too young to relate 🙂 I graduated in ’97 and it was definitely a trip down memory lane. I could have done without the whole time travel element but thankfully that was just a small part of the book.

      Haha, I love your book recommendations Karis, you haven’t let me down yet (and thank you for recommending the Tao of Martha, I’m halfway through and laughing and loving it!)! I’m definitely going to add Class of 98 to my reading list!

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
