Now, all I want to do is sit in the shade with a good book. Forget cleaning, cooking or even moving. Give me a cool breeze and a drink with ice (and a kick) in it.
Normally, my reading and blogging slack a lot during summer. I have a feeling this summer will be different. I've recently decided that I deserve a break, not from reading, but from reviewing. I have no desire to take on any review or blog responsibilities for the rest of summer. I have so many good books sitting on my shelves that don't get a chance because I'm so overwhelmed with reviews. I'm pretty excited about the summer of "My Choice" reading.
Here's what I have on deck...
These are just a few new ones on my shelf. I honestly can't decide if I want something contemporary like Sarah Dessen, something romantic and exotic like Beautiful Ruins or a mysterious and action-packed YA novel.
I can't say I have a typical summer choice. Normally, when I want to just unwind and relax, I choose a good romance novel. But I don't know if I really want to just unwind right now. What I really want is to be completely taken away by a good book. I want to be overwhelmed. Something to take my mind off of this unbearable heat!
So, which one of these books would you choose?

We're equally hot and uncomfortable up here in the Netherlands!
ReplyDeleteOur temperatures are supposed to hit the high 80s this weekend and I'm dreading it. I definitely feel the slow down when the humidity hits. I just want to numb my mind and not have to think too hard right now.
ReplyDeleteInsurgent is on my book list too! I loved Divergent so much! I've heard good things about Shadow and Bone as well!

I read Insurgent. It was a quick read, like Divergent. I didn't like it as much though! The main character as a bit odd...
ReplyDeleteI wish I had been home to participate in this one! Next week hopefully. What do you mean by outdoor settings??
ReplyDeleteI read lock and key a while back and really enjoyed it :)
