My Summer Reading List!

-

Hey Guys x

I have not had the chance to read for ages as I've been doing exams, so I was really excited to pick my summer reading books!

I said in a post last week that I had chosen the 11 books that I would be reading this summer, and put them in order.

I then went shopping on Friday, and couldn't resist buying two more (I actually bought 4 but 2 of them aren't in my 'Summer Reading' category)

So I thought that I'd show you the books that I'm going to be reading!

And hopefully, some of these books can make their way onto some of your summer reading lists too!

1. Nobody's Girl

 
This is the first book that I'm going to read. I always start my summer holidays by reading this book because I really love it and I always have to read it. I've spoken about it before so I won't go on about it again, but it really is an amazing book!
 
2. Ten Things We Shouldn't Have Done
 
 
Like 'Nobody's girl', this is always the second book that I read in my summer holidays. I always read the two of them together, just because I think that they go well together they're very light-hearted books. perfect for either staying at home or a nice beach holiday!
 
3. Dream A Little Dream
 




This is Giovanna's latest novel, it came out on Thursday and I immediately bought it on Friday because I was so excited to read it! I also bought it at Waterstones which means that I also get the exclusive short story within it, which I am also so excited to read!

4. His Other Life



This is one that I get more excited about every time I read the synopsis and I can't wait to review it! I did a book haul where I gave a brief synopsis of a lot of the books in this list, so read that if you want to see what it's about!

5. Saving Grace


This book is very similar to the last one in the fact that both women feel as if their husbands are keeping secrets from them. But as well as that, they're both called 'Grace'. How weird is that? I really can't wait to read this!

6. My True Love Gave To Me



I am so excited to read this book! It's a collection of love stories, which I immediately love! What I love most is that on the back cover, it says: "Long, cold nights are for falling in love" which makes me so happy!

7. P.S I Love You


I've read this before and I loved it so much that I had to get is again! This cover is beautiful and the story itself is really beautiful. It made me fall in love with Cecilia Ahern!

8. The Year I Met You


I bought this when I bought Giovanna's book on Friday as I had heard such great things about it! And I really do love Cecilia Ahern, so of course I was going to buy this! It seems like the classic love story that I always get obsessed with!

9. How To Fall In Love


From the title, you can probably tell why I bought this book! It's another Cecilia Ahern and I am so excited. It's about a woman who talks someone out of committing suicide, and I can only assume that they later fall in love, but don't quote me on that because I haven't read it yet!

10. The DUFF


I've seen this movie and I really enjoyed it. I bought the book before I saw the movie and always put off reading it. But after seeing how great the film was, I really can't wait to read this book! And then watching the movie again!

11. One Day
 
So many people have told me to read this! I've never seen the film but I've heard that the book is amazing, so of course I put it in this list. It looks really interesting and I like the fact that I can't really guess what it's going to be about - because the blurb is quite ambiguous!
 
12. The Rosie Effect
 
I am so annoyed with myself! Upon buying this book, I didn't realise that I was actually buying the sequel! So I haven't got the first book, and I don't know if I can read the second one without reading the first - but I'm going to try because this book looks great!
 
13. Shopaholic To The Stars
 
 
As a huge fan of Sophie Kinsella and the 'Shopaholic' series, I bought the newest Shopaholic book immediately because I am so excited to read it! Sophie Kinsella is one of my favourite, if not my absolute favourite authors and I am so excited to see what's going on next with Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) and her family!
 
14. Finding Audrey
 
And last but not least, the latest Sophie Kinsella book! I don't even really know what this is about to be honest, but it's by Sophie Kinsella, so I know that it will be completely epic!
 
All of these books (Bar the first two and 'P.S. I love You') will be reviewed when I finish read them!
 
Thank you for reading!

    So many great books to add to my "to read" list, thank you!! I've read The Rosie Project, which is the book before The Rosie Effect and it's really good although definitely an 'adult' book.
    I love Giovanna's books, I can't wait to read Dream A Little Dream :)

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-
Image
  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
