First of all Happy Memorial Day!! I am working today, that’s hospital life for you, but I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday. All I ask is that you please remember the reason for celebration.
This week I thought I would do a little “What I’m…” series and tell you all about what I’ve been up to lately. Today I will start with what I’ve been reading. In case you are new around here I love to read. I love chick lit, murder mysteries, historical romance, christian lit, and everything in between. What can I say, I just like to read!!
Let’s get started…
I just finished The Heir over the weekend and I thought it was fantastic. I really love The Selection series and if you haven’t read them then I highly suggest you do. This book picked up where the last one left off but jumps ahead 18 years. I really enjoyed reading about the new selection and catching up on the lives of some of my favorite characters.
I loved Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and this book was just as good!! I seriously love series and really getting to know characters and follow them for a good length of time. This book picked up exactly where the first one left off and was awesome. If you love a good suspense story then yo should check it out.
Secrets Over Sweet Tea is written by Denise Hildreth Jones, one of my very favorite southern christian lit writers. Her Savannah from Savannah series is one I read every summer because it the perfect pool/beach read. Secrets Over Sweet Tea was the perfect spring read and made me realize that everyone is going through something and that you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. DHJ always leaves you thinking about something at the end of a book. I love all of her books.
Speaking of southern lit, I have recently discovered Mary Kay Andrews. I have downloaded these audiobooks, and a few more, from my local library right to my phone so I can listen to them as I get ready in the morning and while I drive in the car. I have loved everything I have read/listened to of MKA and can’t wait to get my hands on more.
I’m getting my list together of books I want to read this summer. If you have any suggestions let me know!!
Do you love to read??
What was the last book you read??
If you are looking for books just go to my blog and click on the tab on the left that says books—–since I love historical romances, chick lit and mysteries and assorted others I am sure you will find a whole bunch you want to read! (593 in there) and then look at my current giveaways–some in there as well! I have been thinking about reading The Heiress–
That dress on the cover of the first book is amazing! And the sweet tea book looks so good! And I never go to the beach without Mary Kay Andrews! :)
Happy Memorial Day! I am and avid reader too. I have been a big fan of Sarah J Pepper’s and I must say I tend to get her newest books as soon as they are released. Her latest book – Snow White Lies I think would be right up your alley.
I am a reader too. I love Mary Kay Andrews, I’ve read some of her novels as well. But I think Secrets Over Sweet Teas looks right up my alley. Thanks!
I love, love, love the Selection series!! I’ve read the first three but haven’t bought the next in the series.
I haven’t ever heard of Mary Kay Andrews before, but I’m going to check her out. I’ve been reading so much lately, I can always use more books!
Yes I love to read. Currently reading J.K Rowling’s Casual Vacancy. Love this list by the way. Keep them coming! :D
I will have to add some of these to my reading list. Hollow City seems like something I would like.
Happy Memorial Day! I know the feeling. I am working today as well. I am so loving your book collections! I am a avid reader and your list makes me want to stop reading my current book and pick up another. I am a MKA fan as well. Such a great writer.
Ooh this is giving me some ideas. I should probably queue up soem summer reads. Those “Selection” books sound interesting!
Thanks for sharing – I’ll have to check out some of these books! Need to reach my yearly goal :)
Great list of books! I am always looking for new authors and titles to read while we travel!
I just started reading Hollow City yesterday!
Only a few pages in thus far.
I’ve had a few of those Mary Kay Andrews books on my Amazon wish list!
I love to read but wish there was more time! What great selections you have highlighted which am passing onto friends today!
These sound like amazing reads indeed. Hollow City is one that caught my eye so I will have to check it out. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my gosh, i love, love chick-lits too! I will definitely check out those Mary Kay Andrews books.
I am not really into fictional literature but the cover of Hollow City caught my attention. Anyway, as the saying goes, don’t judge the book by its cover. Haha! Happy Memorial Day!
I have the Heir on my to read book list, now that I see it here I think it’s time for me to start reading it. Definitely going to share this list with my mommy book club. We are always looking for new ideas!
I have never heard of Mary Kay Andrews, I will check these out though! Great review.
I’ve just begun reading again after a long break due to lack of time. I always look for good book recommendations. That Hollow City one looks so eerie!
