These aren’t necessarily new books this summer, just ones I got around to reading:
- White Sands, Red Menace by Ellen Klages
- These is My Words by Nancy Turner
- Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers
- Beast by Donna Jo Napoli
- Fairest by Gail Carson Levine
- Mrs. Mike by Benedict Freedman
- The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine
- A Countess Below Stairs by Eva Ibbotson
- The Weed That Strings the Hangman’s Bag by Alan Bradley
- The Journal of Curious Letters by James Dashner
These is My Words was a 5-star read and I gave 4 stars to The Weed That Strings the Hangman’s Bag. All the others were 3s, so they were good but not great.
Right now I’m reading Fallen by Lauren Kate, an interesting young adult novel that is kind of in the Twilight genre with 2 heart throbs in love with the same teenage girl, only this girl is actually likeable and the writing is actually good.
Fallen has some new twists on the same old teen romance story and I will definitely be reading the rest in the series.
I still haven’t gotten my hands on a copy of Mockingjay. I’m number 39 at my library that has only 6 copies so it’s going to be a while…
What have you read this summer – anything worth recommending???
