I am a huge book lover and probably spend more money on books than I do on anything else. I have my priorities down, i'm tellin' ya!
However, I spend more time choosing a book, than I do actually reading it. Only a true bookworm will understand the time and deliberation it takes when choosing what to read next. Book or kindle? Romance or mystery? So many questions and far too many books...
I FINALLY managed to compile a list of books I want to read this month and it wasn't an easy decision. Some of the books are new purchases and others have been on my bookshelf for a while and i'm only just getting round to reading them. I'm a little bugger for buying new books every month and forgetting to read the ones I already own. I really need to start working on my 'To Be Read' books...
Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli //Goodreads. Amazon.
"Simon Spear is sixteen and trying to work out who he is - and what he's looking for. But when one of his emails to the very distracting Blue falls into the wrong hands, things get all kinds of complicated. Because for Simon, falling for Blue, is a big deal."
"Straight people should have to come out too. And the more awkward the better."
The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes by Anna McPartlin //Goodreads. Amazon.
"Rabbit Hayes loves her life, ordinary as it is, and the extraordinary people in it. She loves her spirited daughter Juliet; her colourful, unruly family; the only man in her big heart Johnny Faye. But it turns out the world has other plans for Rabbit, and she's okay with that. Because she has plans for the world too, and only a handful of days left to make them happen."
Rumour Has It by Jill Mansell//Goodreads. Amazon.
"When newly single Tilly Cole impulsively quits her London job for a fresh start in the small town of Roxborough she finds she's arrived in a hotbed of gossip, intrigue and rampant rivalry for the most desirable men. Tilly has no intention of joining in - she's just happy with her new Girl Friday job. Then she meets Jack Lucas. Jack is irresistible... and he's got his eye on Tilly. But there are shocking rumours about his wicked reputation. Tilly doesn't want to be just another notch on anyone's bedpost. But is she being mature and sensible - or is she running away from the love of her life?"
Wonder by R.J.Palacio//Goodreads. Amazon.
"Auggie wants to be an ordinary ten-year-old. He does ordinary things - eating ice cream, playing on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside. But ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. Ordinary kids aren't stared at wherever they go.
Born with a terrible facial abnormality, Auggie has been home-schooled by his parents his whole life. Now, for the first time, he's being sent to a real school - and he's dreading it. All he wants is to be accepted - but can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all?"
"My name is August. I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse."
I'd love to know if you've read any of these books! What is on your June reading list?
