Novel Reaction

The weather is finally starting to warm up and if you are like me, you are in the process of getting ready and/or planning for the summer vacations.  Of course, in thinking about summer vacations I always starting thinking about what I am going to read for the summer. When I think of summer reads, I always picture paperback books that are slightly warped from a little water getting on them, edges crinkled from sitting in the sun and being stuffed into a tote with the other 50 essential items for vacation that I can’t seem to leave home without.

I have to admit for me a true summer read is something light, fun, funny and with a happy ending.  I know there our others out there who want a book about a journey or some kind of great growth by the main characters, but I just want something that doesn’t require a lot of focus, just a good fun entertainment.

However, by the end of summer I have usually had my feel of the light reads and I am ready for something with a bit more teeth to it.  Something along the lines of a non-fiction or a good fiction books, of course, then school starts and I am ready for light reads to counter the heavy homework reading.

This summer, for me, is starting off with a bunch of YA novels because June’s theme here at Novel Reaction is YA novels.  I am super excited to share some of my favorites and some of the new ones I received from the Book Bloggers and Publisher’s Conference I attended, you can read which ones I will be reviewing here.

So what do you like to read over the summer months?   Do you have any favorites that I need to read? Let me know what you think!
