Audrey, Wait!-An awesome story full of love, music, and sarcasm from an amazing new author.
Swimming with the Sharks-A true to life story that is wonderfully written.
Oh. My. Gods.-A hilarious story with Greek gods and goddesses from a debut author.
Bad Girls Club-Probably the most sad novel I read this summer, but an incredible read, a book nobody should miss.
Breaking Dawn-The most awaited book of the year, that not everybody loved, but will go down in history.
The Dead & The Gone-An amazing new companion novel from one of the most intense novels I've ever read.
Bad Girls-An amazing suspense novel from an awesome author that I will won't to read more of.
House of Dance-A beautiful story that is so memorizing and incredible from the most poetic author in the YA world.
Gone-A unique story of survival for kids fourteen and under, a great start to a soon-to-be series.
The above books are highly recommended if you haven't read it yet.
This summer has been really fun, mostly because I have this blog, otherwise, pretty boring. But I got a ton of reading in so, that's really fun. But this summer has been really cold for a summer. We had an extremely long winter, November through half of June pretty much. I was still using a blanket in June and I didn't stop wearing my winter jacket until May. We had a blizzard the last week of April and got a foot of snow and the snow didn't melt until that middle of May. So I pretty much read, and watched Veronica Mars in June. (Veronica Mars rules!!!!) Then in July I read and watched the whole four seasons of Lost. (Lost rules!!!! Can't wait for season five in 2009!!!) and in August I pretty much read, but of course in those three months I blogged also, as I've finally reached my 100th post last week sometime, which is extremely exciting (Enter my 100th Post contest before Sept. 5th!).
So this Fall and Winter I plan on having a Halloween/Birthday contest coming up in about a month in a half, which is going to be HUGE, I can guarantee you. Then on January 21st will be my blog's first anniversary, which is so exciting, I can't wait! I don't have anything planned for that yet, but it'll be huge, I promise. Also look for some author interviews/guest blogs!
So, should I make a goal from now until . . . New Year's shall we say? Let's see school is in then, so how about 25 books. I think that might work, I will TRY to read 25 books by the end of 2008.
Did you have a goal this summer? Did you beat it? Do you have a new goal this fall? Tell me in a comment!
Other then that, I hope everybody had an awesome summer and here comes Autumn!
Wow congrats on all your reading. I think I'm going to start setting up goals for myself like this. Especially as 2008 comes around, I really want to record how many books I read in a year and join some annual challenges.
