hello, gorgeous!
today i thought i'd share with you a compilation of sorts of all the books i've read over the summer. it was a deliciously vibrant 4 months, filled with life and new experiences and a whole lot of words (my own and others).
may (the month of chick-lit)
to all the boys i've loved before - a girl writes letters to her loves as a means of letting them go. seems normal, right? oh, definitely. except that somehow they get sent out to all those people years after the relationships are had. comical and easy to read. also, completely chick-lit.
where'd you go bernadette - a different sort of read. definitely not quality writing, but the story was amusing and had an interesting plot-line. would highly reccomend if you enjoy family novels!
the royal we - mirrors the romance of the duke and duchess of wales, though not entirely the same. follows the unlikely love story between an american commoner and the prince of england. gives you insight into the monarchy whilst still being entertaining. again, not quality writing, but it's worth the read.
june (the one-book month)
the beautiful and damned - this was a meaty read. it follows the story of a young couple on their journey of love.
**i'm normally a fast reader, but this one took a while. once i reached a certain point in the book, the plot slowed down and it was hard to gain momentum again. i started reading it like halfway through june too, hence why there's only one book for this month.
july (the month of non-fiction)
the life-changing magic of tidying up - such a good read. marie kondo goes over all the necessary steps to tidying ones house and life. see my post on it here. 5/5!
the astronauts wives club - non-fiction for once! i wanted to read the full story after watching the pilot of the tv series. definitely an interesting read!
august (the month of feel good reads)
the vacationers - suuuper easy read. follows a family that brings all their life baggage on vacation with them. quite amusing, though definitely not a page-turner.
last letter from your lover - if you like romance & good writing, jojo moyes is definitely for you. this book emphasizes loves timelessness & follows a couple through thick and thin, life's up's and downs for 40 years. i honestly think they should make a movie out of this book.
is everyone hanging out without me? and other concerns - read this in one night. highly reccomended. read my review here.
. . . . .
i'm 95% sure that i remembered all the books i read this summer. for all i know there could be a few stragglers if so, rest assured, these were definitely the most memorable!
books provide their own little adventure in the pages and provide such happiness and depth to living.
read on, baby.
see you next wednesday!
until then, catch me on my instagram.
xoxo,
