Top Ten Books At The Top Of My Summer TBR List

It's time for The Broke and the Bookish's meme Top Ten Tuesday. This week, we list the top ten books at our summer TBR-list and this shouldn't be a problem at all. I really have to many books to read this summer!

1. Insurgent by Veronica Roth. I. HAVE. TO. READ. IT.

2. My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent, which I got from one of my book friends.

3. My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick. I've heard so many amazing things about this book!

4. Flirting in Italian by Lauren Henderson. A really cute book.

5. The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen, which is her new book and I'm really curious about it.

6. The Summer-trilogy by Jenny Han. I've read these books before but it's time to re-read.

7. Wake by Amanda Hocking. It looks good!

8. Breathe by Abbi Glines. I bought it for my Kindle a couple of weeks ago.

9. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares - also a re-read.

10. Lola and the boy next door by Stephanie Perkins. I read Anna last year and now I'm really curious about this book.

The Truth About Forever

Expect the unexpected. 

Macy's got her whole summer carefully planned. But her plants didn't include a job at Wish Catering. And they certainly didn't include Wes. But Macy soon discovers that the things you expect least are sometimes the things you need most. 

This was the first Dessen book I've ever read and I didn't know what to expect. I've read so many wonderful reviews about her books but at the same time it felt like it was not for me. Too much love and too much drama but I was wrong. I really liked this book and I'm so happy about that.

It's a super summery book that probably works just as well to read at age 13 as for someone who is 30 +. The language is good and even though the book is over 400 pages, it is a really fast read.

The reason I only (!) gave this book four stars was because of the characters. Macy was sometimes a really lovely girl and that reminded me a lot about my best friend in high school but just as often she was annoying and the relationship between Macy and her mother was SO disturbing. Macy's mother was so terribly naive and insensitive. And Wes .. yes, Wes. What to say? What a guy!

Read it - preferably this summer!

Summer Books

The other day I was thinking about summer books and my summer reads this year. Since Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han is two of my favorite authors I will read some of their books. I got Dessens That Summer in the mail yesterday and I've pre-booked her new book The Moon and More. I also want to re-read Jenny Hans Summer-trilogy.

A few days ago I also bought Breathe by Abbi Glines for my Kindle, which I hope is a good summer read. I was actually thinking about re-reading The Summers of the Sisterhood-series by Ann Brashares. I've only read book one and two but I have to finish the series.

A book that I've been curious about for a while is My life next door by Huntley Fitzpatrick. I've read a lot of great reviews and the book is just so pretty. I was also thinking about How I lost you by Janet Gurtler, but I don't know about that one.

Do you have any great summer reads to share?
