Freebie Friday 49: Summer is Here!



Happy Friday!

Summer is here and I want to be sure you have enough to read…

So far, I haven't had much time to tackle my TBR pile. Things have been really busy, but I'm hoping that I can make more time soon.

Tell me … what's on your summer reading pile?

Here's what I'm reading in June 2013!



The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen -- Sarah Dessen books are the perfect summer read!

This Is WAR by Laura and Lisa Roecker -- a tale of revenge set in a beach community. 
Releases on July 2nd.

Replica by Jenna Black -- I loved her Faeriewalker series -- this is a  YA sci-fi that releases July 16.

Belle Epoque by Elizabeth Ross -- turn-of-the-century France, the marriage market, girl power. 
This one was a lot of fun to read!

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey -- do you feel like you're the only one who hasn't read this alien invasion book? I'm here to help….

Gated by Amy Christine Parker -- a gated community, an end-of-the-world prophecy…. 
this one releases on August 27.

  1. I have a little stack of library books right now: The Elite, The Symptoms of My Insanity, Elegy, and The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle. I'm hoping to read these by July 7.

  3. On the very top of my TBR pile is Dirty Little Secret because it's what's next on the schedule. ;) But what I'd really love to move to the top is Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Maybe I'll compromise, and after I read DLS, I'll allow myself to cheat and read BtDatDBS. :) Happy Friday!

    1. Ha -- that's what I do -- try to read in order. I just finished DLS and liked it pretty well….

  6. Shadow and Bone will most definitely be read this summer! I promised myself that. I also just traded a couple book and got the first two books in the Vampire Academy series. I'm debating on which to read next. I want to read way too many books this summer and I'm starting to think it won't happen for all of them. lol

  46. There are SO many and it just depends on my mood which one will be at the top at any given moment, and also if I can get the book or not, but a few from the top right now are The Program, The 5th Wave, When You Were Here, Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, Cinder, Scarlet, Black City, Phoenix, the Starcrossed series, Article 5 and Breaking Point, Insomnia, Linked, Golden, The Moon and More, Gated, Charm & Strange, Parallel, and so many more. Most of these I don't own though, so reading them depends on being able to find them at the library or as a library ebook. Thanks for the giveaway!

    My email will be in the Google doc, I don't check the email associated with this account.

I want to get through all my signed books like Don't Turn Around, The Sky Is Everywhere, Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children, and Through The Ever Night.

  61. I am going to count August as Summer. Kids aren't in school for the whole month, so that counts right? That being said, the book that first comes to mind that I am seriously looking forward to is Untold by Sarah Rees Brennan. I adored Unspoken, and I am hoping that Untold blows my expectations out of the water! There are MANY others that I am looking forward to as well, but that tops the list tonight!

  62. I do not have a summer reading pile. I never had one. A lot of people tend to read 'summery' books during the summer, but I was never one of them.

    Great books, though. They sound good.
