Four bloggers shared their best recommendations for summer reads with us:
- Trish (Me!) of The Bowed Bookshelf @bowedbookshelf
- Tahleen Ovian Shamlian of Tahleen's Mixed-Up Files @tahleen
- Gail Yates of Ticket to Anywhere @Irisheyz77
- Marie Cloutier of BostonBibliophile @bostonbibliophl
I went first, and explained that although I read fiction and nonfiction, I chose fiction for this summer. You can click the book titles listed below to see why we chose each title.
Moonlight Downs by Adrian Hyland
If Jack's in Love by Stephen Wetta
It's Beginning to Hurt: Stories by James Lasdun
Revival by Scott Alarik
Tahleen reviews young adult books and she had a mix of great titles that she'd picked from the past several years.
The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex
Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley
Paper Towns by John Green
Gail reads a mix of genres: fantasy, young adult, romance, science fiction and she has chosen the best of her blog for your delectation this summer.
Marie, the Boston Bibliophile, chose some of the books in the past months that have rocked her worldview.
Second Person Singular by Sayed Kashua
Absolution by Patrick Flanery
Sorry to be getting this list out late to you, but think of it this way: summer is in full swing. If you missed on your choices so far, take a look at ours and begin again. You won't be sorry.
