To be done with my first year of college, to be able to sit outside in the sun without freezing my butt off, and to be able to do nothing but lounge outside, and read a good romance book or two. There's nothing better than tanning and reading contemporary YA...! Unless you have the option to do it at the beach, then yes, that IS better!
With these past three years of blogging, I've collected so many AMAZING summer, romance reads, but just haven't gotten the chance to get around to them. If it's because of review books needing to be read first, or because I'm been in winter hibernation for eight months of the year, doesn't matter.
Summer of 2014, will be catch up for me! I'll be digging all of those contemporary YA books out from the back of my bookshelf, and will indulge myself in them!
While I do have a lot sitting on my shelf, there are also a few that I hope to pick up in the weeks of summer to come. I spent winter months completely jealous of whoever had gotten the chance to read them before me, but now that's warm out and I'm in this mood, I can finally get to them myself!
So just to give you a small taste of what I mean...
Books I Have:
*Sadly this isn't even all of it....its not even half...its not even half of the half. I love buying YA romance/contemporary, ALL THE TIME, but I only like reading them in the summer....UGH the struggles!*
Books I Want:
*And SO many more!! How can I resist these any longer?!*
While I am excited to see friends who are coming home from college, bonfires, camping, theme park vacation, sunburns and it being warm-ish (it doesn't get too hot here), the thing I'm looking forward to the most is reading. Lazy day reading.
You still have a few months to decide but what do you plan on doing/reading in the summer?
I love summer and I absolutely love sitting outside in the sun reading in the summer. It's my favourite thing ever! I really enjoyed the Just One Day... a lot of people didn't. But I loved it. I hope you also end up enjoying it. I think my most anticipated read this summer is "What I Thought I Knew" by Huntley Fitzpatrick.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!

Whoops!!! Make that "What I Thought Was True".... silly me.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I know a lot of people felt a little "bleh" about it. But I'm excited to pick up a Gayle Forman book! I own four and haven't read a single one...I'm a horrible person.
