One of my favorite summer activities is reading. Not to say that I don’t crack a single spine during the “school year,” but I don’t typically get through a novel quite as quickly. And it has to really hook me…or I’ll take forever!
So as summer vacation draws to a close, I’m sharing the last couple I’ve finished!
Two magicians grow up trying to “win” a challenge without ever being informed of the rules. They end up falling in love [nothing mushy, really] and need to find a way to stop this contest so they can be together. I enjoyed this book, but it wasn’t all that exhilarating.
Now this one…I couldn’t put down. Maybe it’s because I recently saw the movie preview…and Adam Driver is in it? [[Which I mentioned here]] It’s a lot easier for me to read a book once I can see the characters. ๐ A family’s father passes away [not suddenly] but they must sit shiva for a week. Everyone is pretty hilarious, and you really start to feel for each person, especially the male characters. Very interesting points of view. ๐

I've been eyeballing The Night Circus for a while, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm currently reading a really great crime series by Karin Slaughter and before that I finished up the Game of Thrones books (which were AMAZING!!). I love your nails by the way!
I need to read more, for sure. I haven't read either of these but the second book's cover is so cute, I love how colorful it is. ๐

I'm currently reading The Night Circus and I'm loooving it, I'm about to finish Mockingjay (late to the party), and then I guess I'll start Gone Girl :3
