Thankyou to everyone who sent in photos of your Summer reading spots!
that is one difficult question to answer since there are a lot of books i would categorize as the best summer read.....
ReplyDeleteSince it changes a lot so at moment my ultimate summer read is MELISSA DARNELL's CONSUME.
I have SO many!!! But the one I'm looking forward to is 'Terminated' by Rachel Caine.
ReplyDeleteIt is the third and final book in the revivalist series. About a girl, Bryn who is innocently murdered but is living off a drug named as 'Returne' that keeps her alive and stops her body from decomposing, though she has to take every 24 hour shots which is a major problem!
I've been keeping up and have been waiting to get ahold of the final book to see how Bryn ends up! :)

My ultimate summer read is The Walking Disaster
ReplyDeleteMy ultimate summer read is Nobody's Girl by Sarra Manning. It's set in Paris and just makes me want to live within the pages of the book! Soooo good <3 #SummerReading
ReplyDeleteI have read so many books this summer and I couldn't pick my ULTIMATE. So I'll just enumerate those really made me swooned!
ReplyDeleteBad Things, Bully, Thief and Dare You To.
Hmm, I think I'd choose Pushing The Limits! It has an amazing storyline. Also, On The Island is just superb. Definitely two books to get lost in.
ReplyDeleteThe ULTIMATE summer read for me is always one of the Harry Potter books. Every summer I pick a random one and re-read it. I love being re-immersed in the world. And what better time to read about a magic school than when you're on a break from school/college/uni and you don't have to feel bitter about the fact that your Hogwarts letter obviously got lost in the post?
ReplyDeleteThe Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han - still a great summer read even after all this time!
ReplyDeleteI thought this was such a good idea I did a blog post on it!
ReplyDeletehttp://where-is-wallis.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/summerreading-ultimate-summer-read.html
My Ultimate Summer read is...This is really hard!!
ReplyDeleteInk by Amanda Sun in the YA genre is my ultimate summer read.
But in the more ADULT genre, My ultimate summer read would be Kiss an angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
Here's hoping XD
I've finally gotten around to reading To Kill a Mocking Bird, and the weather we're having is very conducive to reading for the deep South.
ReplyDeleteJellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta! Best book. <3 And so amazing. Perfect summer reading :) Thank you for this amazing giveaway. You guys are amazing. *Hoping I can enter though I live in Norway* :)
ReplyDeleteLove, Carina
The Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews! The latest book, Magic Rises, just came out and it was amazing!
ReplyDeleteA very hard question, during the summer I always love to reread the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson.
ReplyDeleteJenny Han's Summer series is perfect for summer!
ReplyDeleteI'm sticking by Harry Potter. There is nothing better than an annual re-read of one of the most loved series ever :). It's impossible to get tired of our favourite boy wizard!
ReplyDeleteHover by Melissa West. Love it! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I re-read Dare You To and the Healer books by Maria Snyder.
Thank you!
I think that Anna and the French kiss. It's funny and fresh and I love it. :)
ReplyDeleteAmina Black
My ultimate Summer Read is The Iron Fey series. It makes my summer totally adventurous and enjoyable. It's really a joy re-reading it! And who doesn't want some Ash and Puck during summertime? Thanks for the giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteI always tend to go for books about sirens when its summer, I finished the Sirens trilogy by Tricia Rayburn and am currently reading a book about sirens on my kindle called Surface. Also beachy thrillers like Cruel Summer by James Dawson, just finished that and it was amazing.
ReplyDeleteThere are SO many! I just depends on what mood I'm in. I love a great YA paranormal series like Cassandra Clare's or Julie Kagawa's, (and you can never go wrong with Harry Potter.;)
ReplyDeleteI recently read About a Girl by Lindsey Kelk - makes me wish I was on holiday in Hawaii too!
ReplyDeleteI always start the summer with a stack of books that I have been wanting to read. Now that the time is available to read, I just devour those books. But the ultimate summer read is that one that gets put on the shelf to be read later. How do I know it is the book to be saved? Reading it makes the entire world around me go away. The stress of the day, the noises outside disappear and you do feel transported into the world of the characters. You just know.
ReplyDeleteMy ultimate summer read is Poison Study (and the rest of the chronicles of Ixia) by Maria V. Snyder. There's nothing like poison and love and Valek to read away the days.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be a re-read of City of Bones by Cassandra Clare just in time for the movie, Eeeeek I'm so excited. I love Jace and the plot is superb.
ReplyDeleteMy ultimate summer read was The Lost World by Micheal Crichton. The reason is I was reading this book on a beach when my teenage son (who wouldn't read for pleasure) asked if he could read it too. we spent the week reading a page each out loud. Since then my son has become an avid reader. I will never forget the book that 'turned him on to reading' or the summer that it happened.
ReplyDeleteIn the Summer mu ultimate reads are usually books I've built up during term time without having the time to get into reading. This summer my high's have been The Perks of Being a Wallflower, 13 Reasons Why and Will Grayson, Will Grayson. You also can't go wrong if you choose old favourites The Tower & Hive series by Anne McCaffery being mine.
ReplyDeleteMy ultimate summer read is The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling :)
ReplyDeleteMy ultimate Summer Read is Sundowners by Lesley Lokko. It's just epic and really gets to you - I have read it countless times in the past five years, usually during the summer.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's so long it takes all summer to read! It's perfect for reading whatever the weather - and in the UK that's a good thing as August or not I'm currently curled up in my onesie and a quilt reading.
But as to what I'm reading now, I read far too much so it could be any of a number of books which take my fancy over this last month of summer.
My ultimate summer read is something loooooooooooong like A Song of Ice and Fire. Maybe I'll reread it :D
ReplyDeleteMy ultimate summer read is Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor... soon to happen after I finish reading for university! :)
ReplyDeleteMine would be Just One Day by Gayle Forman. Traveling during summer is the best! :)
ReplyDeleteMy ultimate summer read will be Sarah Jessica Maas crown of midnight! !!!!!!! Way beyond excited
ReplyDeleteAny historical romance novel by Lisa Kleypas and Julia Quinn :)

ReplyDeleteMy ultimate summer read this year was The Collector.
ReplyDeleteMy ultimate summer read....well, it is really hard to chose, but I think it would be "Looking for Alaska". It just gives me that feeling...I don't know, that I could counquer the world sometime and that, even if we don't know what we have to do with our lives, we must live every moment. Because, in the end, everything we do matters.
ReplyDeleteI mostly try and catch up with urban fantasy novels during summer. It's the perfect time to read something like that.
ReplyDeleteMine is The Photo Traveler by Arthur J. Gonzalez
ReplyDeleteMy ultimate summer read this year is the Sinners On Tour series by Olivia Cunning!
ReplyDeleteI don't have just one ultimate summer read. I love to try to read as many of the books I've been dying to read as I can!
ReplyDeleteI tend to read as many books as possible in the summer, but my ultimate chce would be 'Twenty Boy Summer' by Sarah Ockler. Really sets the feel of summer nd is a beautifully written book.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I always find myself reading Harry Potter during the summer. Maybe it's because the books always start during summer vacation. I have no idea, but I can't resist! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy ultimate book would be one that makes you laugh, cry, and fall in love with the characters. Its got to be good enough that i can sink into and one that, when i close the book, still stays with me.
ReplyDeleteSo my current Summer Read is 'The Fault in Our Stars' but John Green
My ultimate summer read would be Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo and Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. Amazing books! :)

I have just read Gone by Michael Grant and I loved it!!
ReplyDeleteI think it is quite hard to pick an ULTIMATE read but Aberrant by Ruth Silver was pretty amazing!

I also like reading ALLY CARTER series of GALLAGHER GIRLS , the adventures of Cammie Morgan in "Out of Sight, Out of Time" is soooo amazing!!! I really enjoyed her journey of being a senior student in a school of spies.

ReplyDeleteI just read MAGIC RISES by ILONA ANDREWS, and that was epic, it'll take something spectacular to top that this summer so that's my number 1 read for this entire year!

ReplyDelete1) The Summer I Turned Pretty
2) It's Not Summer Without You
