What's in your beach bag?

Summertime is here and with that comes Summer reading!!  When I lived in California I would take my book out on the patio or to the beach and spend the day reading outside.  Here in the Midwest, it is a little to hot for me to spend the day outside reading so it's something to do inside in the air conditioning.  This summer I am participating in the summer reading program at the library.  The goal for that program is to read five books set in five different continents which I think sounds fun!  I also hope to catch up on books I have purchased and haven't had time for yet.

What's in your Beach Bag? is a summer reading link up for bloggers hosted by http://lifeisshort-readfast.blogspot.com/and http://readingwithmartinis.com/.  It's a way to show off what you are excited to read this summer.  If you are interested in participating, you should check out their blogs for more information.

My summer list is kind of long and I am not sure if I will get to everything or not, but I will definitely try!

I plan to continue the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich this summer.  I love this series and it is perfect for summer reading. My grandma sent me numbers 10-15 so I am hoping to make a dent in the series.

 


 I downloaded these books to my nook when I first bought it and haven't had a chance to start any of them.  I have heard great things about all three and can't wait to get to them.





These three books are for the summer reading program at my local library.  I have already read books set in Europe (Revolution) and Africa (Long Way Gone) so these three cover Asia, South America and North America.  Johnny One-Eye is also the June pick for my book club.


I am really excited to read this book and it's also part of the Henry VIII challenge that I am participating in this year.


This is the book I am the most anxious to read this summer.  It comes out on June 21 and I have pre-ordered it to go directly to my Nook.  I loved The Bronze Horseman and Tatiana and Alexander and am ready to see how the story ends.

That's what's in my beach bag this summer.  What's in yours?

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over

Top Ten Books I Recommend The Most

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic:  Top Ten Books I Recommend the Most 1.) The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons   2.) Outlander by Diana Gabaldon           If you read my blog at all, you know I love these two books so much!  I am not afraid to suggest them to anyone who I think might enjoy them. 3.) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - I was definitely recommending this book left and right when the first movie came out. 4.) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green 5.) A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin           These are two books that I just recently started recommending but they are books that can appeal to anyone so they are easy picks when someone asks for a recommendation. 6.) Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead  - I get a little embarrassed when I recommend this book to people but seriously, just because it has vampires does not mean it is like Twilight. 7.) The Giver by Lois

Book Blog Hop (11)

The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Jen at Crazy for Books .  It's a way to meet other bloggers and check out some cool new blogs. This week's question is:  "Highlight one book you have received this week that you can't wait to dig into!" Okay, I have a confession to make.  I have been so busy this week that I have not had time to get any new books.  I have several waiting for me at the library but I won't be able to pick them up until this weekend.  : ( Did you all get any exciting new books this week?
