Summer Reading Recommendations 2023
Summer is finally here! Thank god! I am also back from holiday so it’s full steam ahead with bookish content. Today I thought I would recommend 4 books that I think are perfect to read during the Summertime.
Summer is finally here! Thank god! I am also back from holiday so it’s full steam ahead with bookish content. Today I thought I would recommend 4 books that I think are perfect to read during the Summertime.
I felt that this would be a great way to learn a little bit about me and my favourite books!
So, by the time this gets posted, I will be in the sun, by the pool, eating my entire body weight in food and drinking loads of cocktails! I cannot wait for this holiday to sit back and read my books. I am being very over-the-top with my number of books. I am taking 5. Will I read all 5? Probably not but there is still a good chance I might…
Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars: same year at Yale, same debut year in publishing. But Athena’s a cross-genre literary darling, and June didn’t even get a paperback release. Nobody wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks.
So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers to the British and French war efforts during World War I.
So what if June edits Athena’s novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song–complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn’t this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That’s what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree.
But June can’t get away from Athena’s shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June’s (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.
So, I have revitalised this post from 2020! Now this blog post isn’t about romance books but other fiction where romance is secondary to the plot!
Life at Grace Field House has been good for Emma and her fellow orphans. While the daily studying and exams they have to take are tough, their loving caretaker provides them with delicious foods and plenty of playtime. But perhaps not everything is as it seems… Emma, Norman and Ray are the brightest kids at the Grace Field House orphanage. And under the care of the woman they refer to as “Mom,” all the kids have enjoyed a comfortable life. Good food, clean clothes and the perfect environment to learn—what more could an orphan ask for? One day, though, Emma and Norman uncover the dark truth of the outside world they are forbidden from seeing.
Spoiler free!
t is that time of year again. One of my favourite points in the year for my blog. A STATS CHECK! I don’t know what it is about statistics but I love it! And before we get into it. I am doing even better in 2023 than I was in 2022. I am so shocked! The slump will hit me soon!
So, in a way to tackle my physical TBR which is about 220 at the moment. I have been trying to focus on reading a short story a day from my short story collections I own. This has made the lighter reading days feel more accomplished. So, today I thought I would list what collections I plan on reading this year.
So, back in the day, when I first started getting back into reading. Basically all I read were re-tellings.
But as the years have gone on and I have read more and more books. I started to feel oversaturated with re-tellings.
Fairy tales have been spun for thousands of years and remain among our most treasured stories. Weaving fresh takes and unexpected reimaginings, At Midnight brings together a diverse group of celebrated writers to breathe new life into our beloved traditions.
