Summer has officially started and I hope you all are enjoying it so far! I’ll be taking a short hiatus in July as I get back to revising my novel. I’m not taking a break from reading, but I am taking a break from reading MG/YA novels just for the month of July. I look forward to diving back in soon. My list of To Read books is towering and I’m determined to put a dent in my adult fiction and nonfiction pile. In the meantime, I may pop back in to make MG/YA related announcements and I’ll be prepping some very cool interviews with authors in the near future! And yes, there will be more contests/drawings!
I’d love to hear what you’re reading and loving these days. (Sure, add another book or two or ten to my towering To Read pile!)
Happy Summer!
Have a good semi-break! I see Bel Canto on your list, and am in the middle of enjoying her most recent novel, which is fantastically plotted with great characters and pacing. I’m shamefully blanking out on the title, which has Wonder in it.
Thanks!! I’ll be around on LJ.
. Loved Bel Canto. State of Wonder is on my list!! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it. Ann Patchett is quickly becoming a favorite author!
Good luck with the revision, Deb!
Happy summer!
Thanks! I’ll be reading blogs still!
Happy summer!
I really liked Code Name Verity. I’m finishing up the Chaos Walking series which I’ve really enjoyed.
more books to put on my list! We have similar tastes so I know I can count on you for recs
Happy summer, Deb! Looking forward to getting some adult fic recs from you. Hope the revisions are going well
I hope to share the adult books I read by the end of the month! I’m already antsy to get back to reading YA thanks to your great recs!
