A few weeks ago I shared my first post on what books I read during the summer. This past summer I really dialed down and read as many books as I possibly could. I am still trying to keep up with reading but life has been pretty busy and haven’t had as much time as I would like to sit down and read. I finally finished this book and LOVED it. I will be giving my honest review about it soon. Until then, here is part 2 of my summer book reviews.
Before summer began I made a promise to myself that I would start reading every night before I go to bed. I enjoy pleasure reading and always have a book on my side table for me to read. Unfortunately I was not always reaching for the book instead opting for Netflix or my phone. It would take me a month or so to finish one book, even though I could have read it within a week or two. So in the beginning of summer I made a vow to myself to read as many books as I possibly had the time for. Since everyone, including myself, is always looking for book recommendations I thought I share what I read this past summer; the synopsis and my honest review of the book. If you haven’t read the book, do not read the review as it contains many spoilers. If you have read the book, look at this like a mini book club. I am always looking to discuss the books I read and am curious as to how liked or disliked the story. SO please let me know in the comment section your thought on each book!
Summer is the season to lay out by the pool and read. I have been complaining lately that I have not been reading as much as I would like to. Well ’tis the season to really crack down and make time for such pleasures. At night I make sure to read for half hour to an hour before bed. The afternoon’s of Sunday’s are cleared out so I can devour my book whether I am in the park, laying out under the sun or sitting on my bed. Two books I have recently finished and highly recommend are Where The Crawdads Sing and Normal People. I throughly enjoyed both and could not put either one of them down. Now that I am finished with both books, I have new ones on my reading list.
Is there anything better than to sit outside on a summer day and read a book? Whether you are indulging in a juicy love story, hooked on a mystery, or taking pleasure in a YA book, summer is the time for pleasure reading. As always I have a list of books that I want to read. And of course, as always, I am way behind on my reading list. I really do envy those who read 2 to 3 books a week. I’m lucky if I get through one book a month with my schedule. I am also in awe of those who can easily read a few books at once. I am definitely a one book at a time kind fo gal. Anyway, I have a few that I am looking into reading this summer and feel you may wan to check them out as well.
