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.

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

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.

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel *To Be Released from New Door Books on April 10, 2018* Mindy Vogel is haunted by the future. In frequent daydreams, she toggles between her real, wheelchair-bound life and the adventurous life of her fanfic alter ego, SkyLog officer Kat Wanderer. She's haunted by all that Kat can do which she cannot---belong to an organization of comrades, walk, and fall in love---yet. Because at twenty-four, Mindy's future is very much ahead of her, wheelchair notwithstanding. Through Mindy's "SkyLog" fanzine and related emails, Seidel evokes Star Trek fandom around the turn of the millenium, but also creates a new and compelling science fictional universe, similar to what Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl  does for the Harry Potter fandom with "Simon Snow." Mindy is among the pioneers transitioning fandom from print to digital, boldly encountering like-minded individuals from the comfort of her chair behind the monito...

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."

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

The Ten Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection

 Most of the books I buy these days are ebooks, or books I'm technically "renting" (I guess that's the right term?) on Kindle Unlimited. I also get a few ebooks for review, usually from LibraryThing or directly from authors. Mostly I get books from the library, but I also try to buy/preorder from my favorite authors--sometimes ebooks or sometimes an actual book if I don't have a signed copy from that author yet! Here are the most recent books I've either bought or rented (TBR would be a whole other list!). Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!
