Some Recent Reads
Look what arrived on my doorstep last week: advance copies of THE GOSSIP FILE! How is this book a real thing? How is it coming out in January? And how is it possible that the whole series is totally out of my hands??
In other news, my reading luck has continued! Here are a few books I’ve enjoyed recently:
Veronica Mars: The Thousand Dollar Tan Line by Rob Thomas and Jennifer Graham
It’s the Veronica Mars book. Need I say more? Okay, I will. I have to admit it was a bit of an adjustment to read about these characters instead of watching them, but I loved slipping back into the Mars world, and the mystery in this novel was extremely well-plotted. I’m excited for the next installment which comes out in October.
Breathe, Annie, Breathe by Miranda Keanneally
I believe I’ve read all of Miranda’s books thus far (published by Sourcebooks-yay!) and this one, about a girl who’s training for a marathon in honor of her ex-boyfriend who died in a car accident-might be my favorite so far. The characters were well-developed, and I just loved how genuine the emotional journey felt.
Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
I really enjoyed the other two books in this series, so I was hoping this one delivered, and it did. As usual, Stephanie creates characters who are flawed and interesting and real, and the romance is sweet and full of twists and turns. This one did feel a bit melodramatic to me at times, but that actually seemed to go with the main character’s personality. I’ll be looking forward to whatever comes next for this author!
