Books That Give Off Summer Vibes

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!

It's hard to believe it's already summer, but it certainly feels like it over here! There's plenty of new and old books giving off those warm, summery, sunscreen-y vibes.

Books That Give Off Summer Vibes
  1. Beach Read by Emily Henry
  2. Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner
  3. Summer Sisters by Judy Blume
  4. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares
  5. Whiskey in a Teacup by Reese Witherspoon
  6. Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
  7. 28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand
  8. Strangers and Cousins by Leah Hager Cohen (a summer wedding)
  9. Save Me the Plums by Ruth Reichl ( I read this sitting by the pool last summer)
  10. Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri

A good few of these I haven't read, but I feel like everybody's talking about these as we gear up for summer reading. Summer Sisters, which I read for the first time recently, certainly fits the bill, and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is a summer oldie but goodie.

Beach Read does look like a lot of fun! I love a good summery type read.
The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants seems to be getting a lot of love this week!

Whiskey in a Teacup is such an evocative title! I love it (and I don't even drink alcohol. LOL).

Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.

I'd like to read Empire of Sand someday! I say bring on the summer (and summer books)!
Beach Read does give off great summer vibes. I liked that book, but didn't find it quite as "easy" of a read as I was expecting.
I just finished up Empire of Sand it was awesome. I can't wait to read the sequel.

Books with Single-Word Titles

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl! Books with Single-Word Titles These are all my favorite books that I could think of with one-word titles. A lot of fantasy, a few nonfiction (minus subtitles) and Kindred , whether you consider it scifi or historical fiction. Also two portmanteaus using the word "bitter." I suppose it's a word that lends itself to amelioration. 1. Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler 2. Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore 3. Fire by Kristin Cashore 4. Heartless by Marissa Meyer 5. Inheritance by Christopher Paolini 6. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius 7. Stoned by Aja Raden (has a subtitle) 8. Educated by Tara Westover 9. Fledgling by Octavia Butler 10. Kindred by Octavia Butler

Feliz Ano Nuevo!

Speaking of cultures and society, I leave for Spain on January 9. Instead of continuing as a book blog with a specific goal for number of books to read in a year, Space Station Mir will become a chronicle for my adventures in Spain. Expect a post for each new place that I visit, with pictures! I also plan to continue reviewing books, however I will not make a set goal for number of books to read this year. I do pledge myself to read at least one book in Spanish that was not assigned for a class. In terms of my goals for 2009, I was not diligent enough in keeping track of them. Looking back, I've fulfilled some of them and not others. The greatest trend in my reading this year, which marks a huge deviation for me, is that I've read more non-fiction than I think I've read any other year in my life. I've finally developed the ability to sustain interest in non-fiction other than biographies. For a while, biographies were the only non-fiction I ever read, with the exception

Most Recent Books I Did Not Finish

 I feel like I've been DNFing a fair amount lately, mostly with review books. I feel obligated to read review books longer than I would if they were books I just picked up on my own. That said, I have a caveat in my Book Review Policy  that if I feel I am not the right audience for the book, I won't post a review. I try to avoid that by only picking books I genuinely think I will enjoy, but of course I can't always predict that before I read. Also, while book clubs have been a great way to get exposed to books I wouldn't normally read, tastes will differ and every once in a while, I find a book I'm just not willing to finish. I also want to say no shade to the authors or anyone who enjoyed these books--they just weren't for me. Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Most Recent Books I Did Not Finish 1. Caribbean Competitors by Poppy Minnix--LibraryThing review--This one sounded great and has a beautiful cover, but while the island setting was compelling, I just couldn't ge
