All the books I’ve read in June 2014

Hey guys! Summer is finally here and I couldn’t be happier. It’s time to start reading more books and enjoy as much time outside as possible: I’m so looking forward to long picknicks in the park, barbecues and of course, sitting outside with a great novel (and an iced-coffee in hand). Don’t you agree that’s what summer was made for?

Today my first university appointment was at 4 pm (yes, the student life…), so I spend my morning with a long and leisurely brunch and later headed to the library to get a big stash of books for summer. Now I can’t wait to start reading them and discover new stories and adventures (good thing I finished watching Hart of Dixie last week…). I always put together a reading list at the beginning of every season, go to the library to see what I can find and maybe order a few of the others.

Here’s what’s on my reading list this summer (if you want to check them out too – you can find a description if you click on the title):

The Paris Wife | Paula McLain

  I can’t wait for the summer holidays to be able to read again!! I’m studying for a very important exam so I had to give up reading for a while and I miss it so much : (

  The last book I read was The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling which I really loved. The next book I’m going to read -as soon as I’m done with the exam- is A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. The Kite Runner (by Hosseini as well is a must!).

    Oh, I hope your exams are going well!

    I loved both Khaled Hosseini books, definitely must-reads. I’ll definitely put A Casual Vacancy on my list as well!

  Oh perfect! I was just about to order some books – I’m finally going to read the Goldfinch, and also the 100 year old man who climbed out of the window (or something along those lines).

  But these are my all-time favourites
