The Seasonal Bookshelf: Summertime Reads

As an avid reader, summertime means one thing for sure, more time for paper back indulgences. Here is list of books I have strung together and hope to finish by the time autumn roles around.
DISCLAIMER: Anti hopeless romantics proceed with caution.

Eat Pray Love
By: Elizabeth Gilbert

I do realize I am late to board this train, but am still eager to travel vicariously and am incredibly ecstatic to gobble up some of Elizabeth Gilbert's thought provoking wisdom.

The Opposite of Loneliness
By: Marina Keegan

This books is a bundle of personal essays and stories woven between two covers. I've also been told that this read will have me in fits of giggles and tears in a matter of minutes.

The Heir
By: Kiara Cass 

As the next installment of The Selection series, this book holds a bountiful amount of promise. Picture princesses meets The Bachelorette. Yes, please.

Far From The Madding Crowd
By: Thomas Harding

Girl power, Three hot guys, Victorian England, AND a movie adaptation. What's not to love?

Paper Towns
By: John Green

If you're an individual who sees movies and then reads the book, please address you're unhealthy habit.

99 Days
 By: Katy Cotugno

Not anywhere near as serious as some of the other books listed, 99 Days seems like a lilting and quick read.

The Haunting of Sunshine Girl
By: Paige Mckenzie 


Described as the perfect combination of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars, this is a must read.

Girl Boss
By: Sofia Amoruso 

This read is said to be laden with fashion, real-world advice, and inspiration. Get in my hands, now.

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."
