So I seem to have developed a nasty habit of buying a whole lot of books and never actually reading them. The ‘to-read’ section is fast overtaking the shelves of my bookcase that house the books I’ve actually read. In light of this (and to help with my current no-buy situation), I’ve decided to pick my Spring/Summer books from my existing collection. These are the books I intend to read when the warm weather kicks in:
Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood
Seating Arrangements by Maggie Shipstead
The Raft by S A Bodeen
The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta
The Returned by Jason Mott
Do you have a particular book that you love to re-read over the summer? I do, and it’s one that I’ve had since I was a kid. It’s ‘all in the blue unclouded weather’ by Robin Klein, and every time I read it I get transported to summer. It’s a children’s book but I love it.
Oryx & Crake is one of my favourite books – enjoy! I re-read the Lord of the Rings over and over and over and over and over again. I’ve been re-reading it since I was a teenager. Love it, totally obsessed.
I feel like Oryx & Crake will be right up my alley. I can’t wait to read it!
I’m reading Oryx and Crake right now, and enjoying it so far, although I have no idea where the story is going right now.
*squee* I just ordered the Leftovers myself this week! (Having been OBSESSED with the TV show!) Have you seen it yet… I haven’t seen you mention it as yet..
I’ve only seen the first episode, but now that we’re finished with The Killing, we’ll have more time to catch up!
