Summer is in full swing around here, and we're soaking it up with all kinds of simple summertime pleasures.
And nothing says summertime than a beach chair or blanket under a shade tree, a cold drink to sip on, and a good book to read. From John Green to the final two Hunger Games books, and maybe, just maybe those Fifty Shades of Grey books, I'm ready to turn some pages this summer and add some new covers to my book shelves. Cruz is also pretty excited to be reading this summer, and just scored his first library card yesterday.
I'm excited to spread my love of books and good summertime reads through a book hop giveaway. I'm linking up this week with I'm a Reader, not a Writer, and offering one of my followers a $10 gift card to Amazon to purchase a book of your choice! In order to be considered for the prize, you must complete the following two steps:
1. Become a follower through Google Friend Connect by clicking the 'Join this Site' icon on the right side of this page.
2. Leave a comment on this post telling me the last page-turner you finished. Did you love it? Would you recommend it?
I'll be choosing a winner for the giveaway next Tuesday, June 26. You have until then to enter. Good luck and happy reading!
I finished Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult. It was not her best that I have read, and I predicted the ending, but it was a good read!
ReplyDeleteI actually decided to read a classic...pride and prejudice...and of course it was remarkable.
ReplyDeleteI just finished 'heaven is for real' and absolutely loved it. I would recommend it to anyone!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say Paranormalcy by Kiersten White. It was so good that I just flew through it.

I just finished a book called the Worst Hard Times. This is a nonfiction, but it is so well written I felt like I was reading a novel. It is about the dust bowl. Did you know that one dust storm dumped 3 tons of dust and dirt on Chicago? I had no idea it effected the whole country like that. I really recommend this book. It really brought that time period alive, and I think there is alot to learn from it.

The last book I read was The Scorch Trials by James Dashner...I loved that book! I can't wait to read The Death Cure and Then The Kill Order. The entire Maze Runner series is awesome and I would highly recommend it! <3

I am currently reading I am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne. While it's not exactly a book I would recommend to everyone (lots of swearing in it), it is a decent one and the whole time I am reading it I get a constant thought in the back of my mind that says, "How can he still be alive?".

I read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter in preparation for the movie. The plot was very repetitive after a while...SPOILER ALERT. Anyone who died from "typhoid fever?" Poisoned by vampire blood. Pro-slavery? Vampire. Anti-Abe? Vampire. John Wilkes Booth? Vampire ASSASSIN.
I just finished Mine to Hold by Shayla Black and it was fantastic.

The last book I read was A Woman of Consequence by Anna Dean
I recently read a book called "On The Jellicoe Road" by Melina Marchetta, and it was the kind of book that changes your life. I mean, the writing is beautiful, and although it may seem confusing and bizarre in the beginning, the ending was SO satisfying and beautiful, it made me sad to actually be done with it. It is a mystery, and the history of a family and a group of friends, all rolled into one...and as the mystery unfolds, the reader is kept at the very edge of their seat. I would MOST DEFINITELY recommend it.
ReplyDeleteThat being said...Thank you for your generosity, and for being part of this Midsummer's Eve Giveaway Hop. Hope you have lots of fun in the sun this summer! :D

ReplyDeleteThe last really good page turner I read was The Fault in Our Stars (John Green). I'm not someone who reads an entire book in one day. I never have been. I get distracted too easily. However, at the age of 37, for the first time in my life, I read an entire book in one day. Once I started reading TFiOS, I just could not put it down. Amazing book.
