Pre Summer Reading...

Hey All! I've selected a few books that I want to read by the end of June. These are my pre-summer reading books. Check them out below.

1. Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward.  This book tells the story of a Mississippi Gulf family in the days leading up to Hurricane Katrina. Selected by a member of my book club for our June discussion.

2. The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins. I'm currently reading this book. If you liked Gone Girl, you would like this book. I can't put it down. Very suspenseful.

3. Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor. This book was recommended by someone I follow on Twitter. The story of an albino West African girl born in New York City but lives in Nigeria. She doesn't seem to fit in anywhere. Then she learns why.

Summer Reading...

I've selected my summer reading books. I'm a slow reader, so I'm hoping I can get through all four of these books by the end of September.  Check out what I'm reading this summer.

• Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This novel was recommended to me by my friend, Tereska.  I've started reading this book and I can't put it down! It's that good. 
• The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. I was browsing Instagram and my friend, Quinetta, posted a photo of her summer reading books. The Language of Flowers was one she selected to read. When I searched for it on Barnes, the summary and reviews were gripping that I had to buy it.
• The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. My daughter asked me to get this book so we both can read it. After hearing about the upcoming movie based on this book and all the Twitter reviews, I added it my list. I'm sure I will need a box of Kleenex nearby. 
• The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer. I actually purchased this book last summer with hopes of reading it. I'm determined to have this read by the end of September. 

So what are you reading this summer?
