You may be struggling to find hours in the day to do everything…or you may be crazy bored. Either way, summer is a great time to pick up some new books to read. Check out the ideas listed below…
1. The Teen Fiction Book That’s Actually Really Good –Looking for Alaska by #John Green is a young adult book about a boy who meets some new friends at school, including a girl named Alaska. He soon learns that life is full of surprises and pain is inescapable. The story is heartwarming, funny, sad, and overall just a great read. The characters are quirky and relatable. This summer the movie version of John Green’s book The Fault in Our Stars will be coming to theaters.
2. The Engaging Mystery/Drama – You might be familiar with #Jodi Picoult as the author who wrote My Sister’s Keeper – the book that was later turned into a movie. #Jodi Picoult has written many other novels. This summer, go to the library and pick up Change of Heart, a book that will challenge everythingyou believe while sucking you in from the very first page. The characters include a prisoner on death row, a little girl who needs a heart donor, and a mother who wants nothing more than to see her daughter live.
3. The Perfect Coffee-Table #Lifestyle Magazine – #Kinfolk magazine is only available for order online, making it all the more special. The magazine features articles about family,food, drink, parties, art, and just overall simple living. The magazine is about living simply and creating new things. The photography is excellent, and it would be lovely on top of a coffee table.
4. The Coloring Book – You may be “too old” for coloring books, but sometimes it’s fun to sit down with a cold beverage and a big box of crayolas and just go to town. Let out your creative side and engage in some child-like fun. #My Wonderful World of Fashion is the perfect coloring book for the aspiring fashion designer as well as the fashionista. Coloring can be a nice, nostalgic escape from the sun.
