Summer Reading

Unfortunately, I didn't buy books this weekend. There wasn't a book that I'm excited to get that were sitting on shelves at the stores. I was hoping to see the first book of C.L Wilson series book, since few of my friends raved about the series. I going to have to order it online instead. And maybe next week, will be better books on shelves. I guess I'm sorta waiting for the end of the very last week of June and for the month of July to start. There are lot of books releasing around that times.

It has been a hot weekend, 90 degree! So you can imagine the sweat we got, when we step outside for just 5 minute. But that is expected in this kind of weather heat like this over here. Summer is here and school is out for the kids. Now it time to be with family and have fun! Or go vacation to relax in the hot sun, grab a cold drink and read :) Well....that is my dream vacation, anyway ;)

Now that summer is here, you will be expecting me to read lot of books. Well...I hope I be able to read more. I will try to find books with summer/beach themes. And if there not many in my TBR pile, I would just do with whatever I do have.

I thought about maybe starting the summer read with One Reckless Summer by Toni Blake. Since it's newest book. And the heroine return to her hometown of Destiny, Ohio to the lakeshore cottage for the summer. I also thought about adding in Crash Into Me by Jill Sorenson because since the hero is a famous surfer. And also adding Hot and Bothered by Susan Andersen because the heroine took a vacation and had a fling. Yes, this is re-issue. That why its has a new cover art. And of course I'll add in other romance suspense in between them ;) Now I just need to stick with my reading plan --- can I do it? *grin*

But, I'm still reading No Control by Shannon K Butcher. And it is really a awesome read! I love the hero in this book. It's the book #2 and was published in 2008. I hope to finish this book sooner, so that I can start on my summer read. Wish me luck!

How about you? Any summer read that you like to share with me? I do need more recommend books, so I would love to hear from you :)

Happy Summer Reading Everyone!

Aww...I was hoping you'd get some books this week, Julia! ;)

Summer reading is always nice! (a book + iced tea, yum!) Since it's always summer over here, I do hope for some rainy days at times so I can snuggle under a duvet and read, while listening to the soft paddling of rain hitting the window panes...

Summer reading are always relaxing and pleasant. Can't wait to start reading more books. And for you, I hope the rain give you comfort while reading on raining day *grin*
