I
don't know about you people but when I think about summer and books - ALWAYS
contemporaries come to my mind. Don't ask me why because I don't have an answer. I'm really not a fan of those teen lovey-dovey stories, but things happen.
So
today I will list 5 Summer Reads which are on my tbr for the upcoming list.

Let's
start, shall we?
1. Bacon pie by Candace Robinson.
As a person who tries to not eat meat on a regular basis when I saw this book I was
"What?!". So confused. But then because it was in one of those lists
"YA contemporaries something" I made myself click on it for the
synopsis. Well, was I surprised? Absolutely. It's about a girl who loves video
games and a boy who is a theatre geek. However, due to a showdown they end up
into the principle's office and are persuaded to be volunteers into Piggy
Palooza Festival, or well - be suspended. And this is how the story begins. I'm
intrigued and will give this book a chance.
2. Save the Date by Morgan Matson.
This
slowly but surely will become a list of all of the last year's contemporaries.
Aghhhhh. In this one we have a wedding - obviously, you can see that by the
fabulous cake on the cover. Ideally, on these occasions families are acting
friendly and nice but not this time. It's a disaster. Our main character tries
to keep everything perfect but is it tho and what is going to happen you can
find in the book?
3. If I'm Being Honest by Emily Wibberley.
If
this cover doesn't scream summer to you, clearly, there's
something wrong.
This
probably got me because of it, if I'm being honest. L.A., high
school drama, crush. What else do you want? Me - nothing more. I'm sold.
4. The Rest of The Story by Sarah Dessen.
I
don't have any idea how or from where it came but Sarah Dessen's books speak
summer to me on another level. They are those typical stories that we've
already kinda know what is going to happen but somehow make us still pick it
up. This time is about a girl who is sent to spend her summer break with her
mother's family at this big North Lake. But the more time she spends there, the
more she is beginning to understand that there are two different communities
and somehow finds herself being divided as well. Which side will win at the
end?
5. Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart.
Since
I've loved We Were Liars, I have to give this author another
chance and this book again feels summery?! to me enough to read it. It came out
2 years ago but it still on my radar. It says that is psychological suspense
and from what I've heard the writing style is interesting.
question:
books from what genre you're going to read
through the summer? do you like to go for something tough like high fantasy or
like me - contemporary?
