What I Read This Summer

Guess what?! It's that time! A little late, but it's better than never. Summer is over, and it's starting to get chilly. Everyone has gone back to school, so I must do my summer wrap up. I read a lot of great stuff this summer, I didn't write a review on everything, but most I did. I'll link those somewhere. The reviews for the last few haven't went up yet, but they will be shortly. 

My summer was good, but busy. We had just moved here from out of state at the end of April, and the summer somehow snuck up on me. And  it came with a bunch of final unpacking and rearranging. Which is what I did. Also, finding a job and looking into schooling in the new area... All that good stuff. How was your summer? 

**Clicking on the cover will take you to Goodreads**






And last, what an epic 
read to end my summer!

Book Review: A Midsummer's Nightmare by Kody Keplinger

A Midsummer's Nightmare by Kody Keplinger


SYNOPSIS:
Whitley Johnson's dream summer with her divorcé dad has turned into a nightmare. She's just met his new fiancé and her kids. The fiancée's son? Whitley's one-night stand from graduation night. Just freakin' great.

Worse, she totally doesn't fit in with her dad's perfect new country-club family. So Whitley acts out. She parties. Hard. So hard she doesn't even notice the good things right under her nose: a sweet little future stepsister who is just about the only person she's ever liked, a best friend (even though Whitley swears she doesn't "do" friends), and a smoking-hot guy who isn't her stepbrother...at least, not yet. It will take all three of them to help Whitley get through her anger and begin to put the pieces of her family together.

Filled with authenticity and raw emotion, Whitley is Kody Keplinger's most compelling character to date: a cynical Holden Caulfield-esque girl you will wholly care about.


What I have to say:
I'm drawing a blank on this one. I have so much to say, but it's all spoiler-ish. I don't have anything negative to say about this book. The only thing I wish is that it was a little longer.

I liked this book. It had all the drama, love, family issues,teenager issues that I love! It was perfect for me. All the characters I think were well developed. I loved all of them, everyone had their own personality. No one was bland.

All I'm gonna say is read it, it's the perfect summer read. I gave it 4 stars!

For those of you who HAVE already read it and want to know more of what I though with the spoilers...
Head on over to here for the discussion part of the review!

Have a wonderful day!

Summer Reads

Summer TBR!

Yes, yes I know that summer is half over, but I decided to go ahead and do a summer TBR. I NEVER, ever, ever do TBR's because I don't stick to them. When I'm done with a book and am searching for what I want to read next, I start at least 5 books. I don't know why... I guess I'm weird. I read the first 10 pages or so and see if I'm drawn in. If I'm not, I just save it for later. 


So I picked books that sound REALLY interesting and that I REALLY want to read. So, I'm hoping I'll stick to the books. School doesn't start here til early September, so depending on the exact day, I have about 7 or 8 weeks to read 9 books. I'm pretty sure I can do it! 




So, tell me, what's on your summer TBR?
Any of these books? 

Have a great day!
