I just finished Thoughtless yesterday.  While I could not put it down, I found the main characters to be really annoying and whiny.  But...like I said...I couldn't put it down so now I'm reading book 2- Effortless.  These are your classic Romance novels.  Easy summer reads about a Rock Star and a girl he falls in love with.  I am starting to like hte characters a little more in book 2 and I hear book 3 (Reckless) is even better.  We'll see. 

Summer is just ahead and my favourite thing to fantasize is laying in a hammock with a good book. What are your top 3 favourite "summer" reads?

I chose Chelsea Handler's" Are you there vodka, it's me, Chelsea", because her stories always make me laugh and this book was my favorite.  The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is a fun easy read that always makes me smile.  I love the story behind their friendship.  I chose "The Best of Me" by Nicholas Sparks because all of his books are great and I haven't read this one yet. 



What are your top 3 summer "to-reads"?



1.  Kristin Hannah, "Firefly Lane".  I have heard so much about this book that I have to read it soon.  Everyone says it is fantastic.  It's been on my list for a while now.
2.  Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson.  I  read Jenny (The Bloggess's) blog and she is so funny.  She has one story in particular about a rooster that she sits outside of her door that had me laughing so hard I was crying.  Her book is a must read for me.
3.  Flat out Love by Jessica Park.  I put this on my list because I read a review on it from another blogger and it sounded like a book I would like.  I think it's a quick easy fun love story--with a sequel--Flat out Matt. 

What book do you wish they'd make it a movie of?

Unbroken is hands down the best book I've ever read.  This man's story is nothing short of amazing.  An Olympian, a POW, and finally, a devoted husband...I could not put it down.  I'd love to see his story turn into a movie. 

 Has your favorite author published a book lately or going to publish a book soon? Tell us about it.

 

I have absolutely no idea what this book is about--only that it is due out in September 2013.  But...I love Nicholas Sparks' books so I'm sure it will be great.
