Summer is upon us with its hot weather, long days in the sun, vacations, cookouts, and of best of all, summer reads. We all have that go to book for a little taste of summer, even when it is not summer. So, I made a list of books that really bring in the essence of different aspects of summer for me, and I encourage you to create your on list and share.
Favorite involving a Vacation: Valkyrie Rising by Ingrid Paulson- Ellie is spending the summer with her Grandmother in Norway, and learns some interesting things about her heritage and saves her brother from some mythical warriors. Valkyrie Rising
Favorite involving a Summer Job: The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen- Macy ends up falling into a summer job with a mildly disorganized cater where she finds not only love, but learns to live again after the loss of her father. The Truth About Forever
Favorite involving Summer Camp: Whisper if You Need Me by Dina Silver- Julia is forced upon a summer camp, but while there she really comes into herself. She learns to be adventurous, confronts her feelings about her parents divorce and mother disappearing from her life, and finds love.
Favorite involving Summer Love: My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick- Samantha not only falls for the boy next door, Jase, but the real reason to love this book is that she falls in love with whole Garrett family. My Life Next Door
Favorite involving Summer School: So this one is a bit of a stretch because they are just doing a summer photography class, not an actually school class, but I am going with The Year We Fell Apart by Emily Martin. Harper is working on getting past her mistakes and repairing her relationship with her best friend Declan as she deals with trouble in her family. The Year We Fell Apart
Involving your favorite place to visit: I have to go with Mary Kay Andrew's Savannah Blues and Savannah Breeze books. Savannah is a beautiful city with great food, shopping, and lots to do. Andrews really captures that in theses books. Plus her characters are just fun to read.
Book Most Looking Forward to Release this Summer: After much internal debate, I have to go with The Shadow Hour by Melissa Grey
