Summer Reading

{ image via }
For me, Summer is the time that I finally get to read all of the books I have been hearing so much about the past 8 months while I have been in school. I love taking a book with me to the pool, beach, out on the back porch, and throwing one into my purse for the day. I always try and take a break from the day, between chores, blogging, and errands, to sit and read for at least 20 minutes. Taking an easy read outside to loose yourself in is perfect! 
My Summer Reading list is pretty extensive, but I've included just a few of the books that I am most excited to dive into this summer : 
Allegiant (I know, I'm late to the bandwagon.) Girl in Translation If I Stay (This is in the process of becoming a movie, so I have to read it before it comes out.) The Maze Runner (Also in the process of becoming a movie!)  An Abundance of Katherines (or any books by John Green!)  The Last Summer Before Midnight, A Retelling of "Cinderella"  My Story (Elizabeth Smart)
The One and Only Off Balance : A Memoir The Time Traveler's Wife Shallows : What the Internet is Doing to our Brains Redeeming Love  The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls Home (Julie Andrews) The Cuckoo's Calling Girls in Trucks Proof of Heaven and so many more ... 
I really love Realistic Fiction (what you'll find most of on my list), but I also have started to really enjoy Non-Fiction Memoirs/Biographies. And it's always fun to step out of my comfort zone and read some other genres. 
If you have any suggestions, or have (good/bad) reviews about these books, let me know!
