Return From The Sun

My Summer Reads

I recently had my fair share of summer holidays and time in the sun, and so i return with some post holiday posts in the coming weeks. I thought i would begin with my summer reads from my family holiday in Portugal.

Before I begin on what i read out there i have to do a selfless shout out to my Daddy who recently had his third book published which i read also on another holiday, within two days. I could not put the darn'd thing down (You may be thinking, hmm daughter of author, biased?! But no!) 

It is called 'MICHA SEVEN FIVE' and is a crime drama. I enjoyed it a lot, and keep nagging him to put the cliff hanging end to a sequel and remove me from my book misery. I would highly recommend it as a read, go and grab it here.

The Book Thief - Markus Zusak

This was a reccomendation from my Mummy. The first chapter had me quite lost and confused and i did have to ask what was going on. However, get past that first chapter, which is not hard to do, and it is a beautiful story about friendship and seeing beyond what people tell you what is right an wrong. I could read this one hundred times over and be just as spellbound by it. It is narrated by death and concept that is a little tricky to get your head around at times but it gives the story a different edge. 10/10 and i have tried to force this into any willing hands to read.

You're The One That I Want - Giovanna Fletcher

If you saw my holiday book posts from last year you will know that I read and really enjoyed Giovanna's first book (Billy and Me). This is one of those girl falls in love with boy, with a twist kind of books. Easy to read and enjoyable, another one I read in a day. It is a sweet story not only about relationships, friendships and love but about growing up.

The Shock of The Fall - Nathan Filer

This was one that was actually stolen off of me before i had a chance to read by my brother, so i am in the middle of it so i thought i would still include it as it was read, and then semi-read by two holiday go-ers.

Noah's review: The book is really interesting and is a lot about mental health. For someone who does not do a lot of reading, I must of enjoyed it as I only took me two days to get through it. 

#GIRLBOSS - Sophie Amoruso

If you are a girl, like myself, who wants to earn her own money, be strong and independent and a career girl. Then this is the book you need to read. Sophie built her company Nasty Gal within seven years to a multi-million dollar company without one bit of debt. This girl has the knowledge of how to become what you want to be. This was a originally a recommendation from Vivianna of VDM, and now i, girls of the world am recommending it to you!
