Summer Lovin'

I'm so neglectful. I knew this would happen. My first blog is my testament to this. And my job. And my downright laziness. I will admit it. I'm sopping up the days where I can sleep in and then spend my days out in the sun, toasty warm, my skin sun kissed and smelling like coconuts supplementing my existence with large amount of coffee. Life is good.

It's time to book share again. I've been reading like crazy and summer lovin' every minute. Yes, I realize that's cliche. That's how I roll.

                                                             
 She wished something would happen.  And it did. Fabulous! I love this book. Everyone is saying that the Newberry winning are going down the drain but apparently they missed this book, because this book is incredible. Perkins does a really fantastic job at styling her book and and she pairs it with funky pictures. It's the ultimate mix between a picture and chapter book for older kids. So good.





      



Sarah Dessen did it again. I love this woman. She really knows how to write a good story. If you haven't read a Sarah Dessen book yet, then do yourself a favor and good pick yourself up a copy of one of her books. You won't regret it.

What I really liked about this book is that Dessen really has a nice fresh take on a story. For me, her previous book Along for the Ride was a little blah, sorta a same old story that Dessen writes. But there seems to be a new maturity with Dessen's character, Mclean which I really like. You can tell her work is evolving.

Alright, I'm off to get back in the sun and back to reading. More to come soon.

Says the girl who is lazy.

Someone had to say it.
