Hello Friends, Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I couldn’t be at YALC this weekend which is really sad by hope you all had a book-tastic time! I’m going to clear the calendar out next year so I’m free.
The benefits of working in a school is the holidays, I’m now on my summer holidays for 6 weeks. Which is very much needed. I feel as a librarian I don’t read enough – I know shock horror. This week with the readathon – The Reading Rush I’ve read 3 books. That 2 more than normal as I’m so tired after work that I just don’t much. So these holidays really help with tackling that all consuming TBR. So I thought I would share my Summer Reads*.
*subject to change with all the fabulous YA books coming out.
Jelly by Clare Rees – This sounds so funny and unique. Escaping a killer jelly fish. What could be better. Plus Clare is coming to my school in September so I can’t wait.
No BIG Deal by Bethany Rutter – I’m currently reading this and absolutely loving it.
Take a Chance on Me by Beth Garrod – The perfect summer read. Anything by Beth will lighten any day of the summer. It’s a auto-author of Summer Reads.
American Royals by Katharine McGee – I loved The Thousandth Floor series and this is something different.
The Million Pieces of Neena Gill by Emma Smith-Barton – How can I hold myself together, when everything around me is falling apart? – This sounds like an incredible book and I can’t wait to get to it.
The Stolen Ones by Vanessa Curtis – This one is on a special librarian reading list that I get every year. This one has been on my radar but I haven’t got a copy until now. This one sounds so different.
Lock Every Door by Riley Sager – Every year a new Riley Sager book comes out and it’s the only adult author I seem to read these days. His book are just so suspenseful and a tiny bit scary.
Dead Popular by Sue Wallman – This will be my first Sue Wallman book! I know where have I been but my students have loved all of her books and I can’t wait to read them.
Unleashed (Jinxed #2) by Amy McCulloch – I loved Jinxed last year and I got to meet Amy earlier this year and ever since her teaser at the S&S Book Brunch I can’t wait to read it.
The Smoke Thieves and The Demon World by Sally Green – A series that I want to read desperately. The covers are gorgeous and I need another fantasy series to sink into.
This looks like a lovely well balance list. I wonder about the Stolen Ones – must go and look that up.
