Summer Spotlight Wrap-Up & Mega Giveaway!


My Summer Spotlight feature was meant to be all wrapped up by now, but due to major internet issues everything on the blog has been pushed back a bit, so here's my wrap-up including details of a summer reading fail and a pretty cool giveaway!

This Summer....

I read a ton of great beach reads, but guess what, even though I live right by the beach, I spent virtually no time at all there due to bad weather. Similarly, when I went to Schull in West Cork for a break, my whole time there was a washout. We have had such a bad summer weather wise. I hope next summer is better!

My Favourite Summer Read of 2012....

Oooh, it's a hard choice. I read some really great books this summer including Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson and Pushing the Limits by Kate McGarry, but ultimately my favourite summer read this year was We'll Always Have Summer, the third and final instalment in Jenny Han's Summer series. I had such a great time reading that book. #TeamConradForever

My Summer Reading Fail....

Once again I failed to read any Sarah Dessen. I can't believe I still haven't read any of her books! I bought Along for the Ride and The Truth About Forever a while back, but I never got around to reading them. Hopefully, next summer I'll get to them! I so know I need to read some Dessen. I've heard so many good things!


Of Course....

  1. AHH THE TRUTH ABOUT FOREVER! Please read it! I was just discussing with my close friend earlier today how much we love the book. I really hope you enjoy it too, it's one of my favourites. Even though you didn't get to go to the beach, it sounds like you had wonderful summer reads! I really enjoyed Second Chance Summer & I think the Summer series is so perfect for, well, summer. :)

  2. Thanks for this awesome giveaway! I agree with you regarding your favorite summer reads. Pushing the Limits was great and of course, you know i'm obsessed with Han's Summer series.  There's always next year for Dessen. I definitely think you will like her. Both the Truth About Forever and Along for the Ride are my favorites.  Can't wait for next year's Summer Spotlight!

  12. Yay for the fantastic giveaway Leanna. I must say I am absolutely dying to read Second Chance Summer and Pushing the Limits - I've heard such great things about it and based on your reviews, I just know I'm going to love either one of them. Oh, and I know every single blogger has probably told you this by now, but you really need to read Sarah Dessen - her books are just incredible.
