Welcome to the Summer Reads Blog Hop, hosted by herding cats & burning soup!
Summer’s in full swing! Come in out of the heat and check out our favorite Summer Reads! Each blog will feature their favorites and a giveaway so visit them all! Plus there’s a Grand Prize giveaway happening too!
So what books are you diving into at the beach (or wherever you relax) this summer? I’m in the middle of the latest book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander saga, Written in My Own Heart’s Blood. It’s 800+ pages of awesomeness, and totally makes the world go away.
I’m giving away a $10 gift card to winner’s choice of Amazon or Barnes & Noble:
There are TWO grand prizes for the hop, a $100 Amazon Gift Card and a second for a $30 Amazon Gift Card:

I don’t take books to the beach. I like to read in my room. I know. Boring, right? Haha. 🙂
I´ve got a TBR list a mile long, I blame that lovely 1click on Amazon, =) so I´ve got no trouble finding a new read. As long as there´s a HEA, an Alpha male and smutty fluff, I´ll read it. =)
Thanks for the giveaway & Happy Thursday!

Your summer read is gigantic. It’s good that you’re enjoying it. I just finished Shadow’s Soul by Jami Gray and loved it. My next book is a notebook (four of them). I’ve got to get some studying done before I fail my exams.
N0 trip to the beach this year. All my reading will be at home.
Oh I’ve still got to give her a read. So many of my friends LOVE that series. One day it’ll happen I’m sure 🙂 Thanks so much for joining in on the hop!
I will take Mr Mercedes.
I live in fl. The beach is too hot so I read indoors with AC. I will read The Perfect Mate by Paige Tyler and Garden of Beasts, by Steven Frey, which will be for the second time.
Grew up on the beach and now allergic to the sun LOL I will also be staying indoors with the A/C and enjoying wading through my TBR. I am particularly looking forward to reading Sidekick by Auralee Wallace.
Anything m/m or m/m/f works for me!
I HAVE TO MANY BOOKS TO LIST. DONT GET TO GO TO THE BEACH THOUGH. THANKS FOR THE GIVEAWAY!

We are taking a month-long vacation in September (that still counts as summer right?). So many books on my list this summer, but I’m mainly trying to catch up on UF series that I started awhile ago like Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid series, Jenn Bennett’s Arcadia Bell series (unfortunately the series is now finished), and Eileen Wilks’ World of the Lupi series.
I don’t read books on the beach but if I did I would be reading YA fantasy like Shadow and Bone and Finnikin of the Rock. Thank you for the giveaway, enjoy your day. 🙂
I want to bring Jill Shalvis’ newest book, Then Came You, from her Animal Magnetism series to read.
I went to the beach early June and took TFIOS – read it in 2 days while enjoying the sun and sand. Then went to see the movie the same weekend. Snot cried through both!
