I’m a big YA fan and I love John Green and Jenny Han! I’ve tried reading Sarah Dessen in Swedish but didn’t like really like her, maybe I should try reading it in english 🙂 Thanks for the great list Abby!
Hahah, thanks, Thea! I’m obsessed with YA, and John Green and Jenny Han are two of my fave authors. I’m so impressed that you can read two languages – I wish I could! And I actually listened to Along For the Ride by Sarah Dessen on audio book because I found it too slow to actually read – but it ended up being so good that I read The Truth About Forever (not audio book haha). Definitely give her a try. 😀 And Kiera Cass is worth checking out as well! (sorry… I’m a book nerd. And will shut up now.)
Oh you’re inspiring me to pick up a classic or two. Now that there’s no accompanying essay, perhaps I will have a greater appreciation for them ;).
Thanks for the comment, Laura! I love classics – the writing in them is always so inspiring & lovely. xx
Fangirl and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before have been on my TBR for so long! I haven’t read or watched Gone Girl yet, so that’s on my list too. Currently I’m reading some Sherlock Holmes 🙂 -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
Ooh, I love Sherlock Holmes! And Fangirl and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before are so good, as is Gone Girl. You should definitely read them this summer! <3
Must read these books, So interesting!
