Wrapping Up Summer TBR.

Hello Everyone,
As we bask in the last month of summer and all it’s glory, as the season comes to a close actually; we’re still holding onto some really amazing and “summery” novels in our TBR. So, as, booklovers it is our faithful duty to...READ THEM ASAP! Like, now. Before summer ends (or attempt to). So, the following novels, as requested by a wonderful reader, are 5 reads that are most definitely to be gobbled up by us before the end of the season.

We have each selected two books that we would love to indulge in, regardless of whether or not the other has ANY interest for us to read it, and one that we both mutually MUST agree on. A total of five "summery" books shall be read. An updated post with mini reviews on each of the books shall come soon...wink, wink!

                      

Ashvini’s Pick: Until Friday Night - Abby Glines.





Maybe I’m pushing it here with Until Friday Night, as it is a novel following a high school football god grappling with his newfound grief and befriending the reserved new girl at school, with the unattainable history. However, I’ve heard wondrous reviews of this novel raving of  Abby Glines’ ability to write off that stereotypical high school romance into a storyline more meaningful and raw...and to be honest, I’m a sucker for books exuding that back-to-school aura. They always seem to  hype me up for the school year, only to have me biting my cheek later, once the homework has kicked in. ;)


Emma’s Pick: When Dimple Met Rishi - Sandhya Menon.




When Dimple met Rishi is a new, profound take on arranged marriage in the modern world. Ever since I caught wind of this book, I’ve been itching to read it! It’s vibrant orange cover, incredibly headstrong female protagonist, and the fact that it is SET IN SUMMER, all contribute to it’s summery vibe. In great contrast to Until Friday Night, When Dimple met Rishi is definitely not as depressing and sad, in fact it is rumored to be quite the opposite. Despite being released on May the 30th I have still not been able to get my hands on a copy. Now, is the perfect opportunity!


Ashvini’s Pick: Once and For All - Sarah Dessen.




Fingers crossed, that for once, I’m able to successfully complete a whole Sarah Dessen without my crazy (but alas, awesome) life getting in the way. My number of attempts in trying to read a  Dessen romance is absolutely ridiculous, but even more so, are the most random pretenses that have come in between. Example: my book being snatched away for year-end library inventory; example: my mom snatching the book away from me because I should have been studying for an “important” Math test. To be fair, though, I ended up doing well on that test, so thanks Mom, but still...I have adored the little I have read of her writing so far, and I’m extremely anticipating reading the whole of her  words in “Once and For All.”


Emma’s Pick: Queen’s of Geek - Jen Wilde.





I love the whole idea of Queens of Geek! First of all it takes place at a nerd convention (um . . . YEEEESSS!), and is incredibly diverse on multiple levels. I really wanted to include a LQBT+ book as I’ve reached a point where I’m honestly sick of your typical straight, white romance story. I mean yeah I guess get it . . . but I want to see complex people with complex relationships, romantic or platonic (more awe-inspiring friendships please).


Our Collaborative Pick: Mosquitoland - David Arnold.





This book has SUCH a summer vibe! The story deals with a young girl, who’s world is suddenly relocated from her mom in Ohio to her father and stepmother in Mississippi, where the presence of realism seems to be a bit murky. However, when word of her mother falling sick arrives, she hops aboard a bus back home to Cleveland. This book has said to be somewhat of a collection of thoughts...all dealing with the collision of realism and change. We are both extremely enthusiastic to ponder over this read, as the last of our summers wisp away.

                                

What's the last of your summer TBR? Please let us know your thoughts!

More reviews coming to a computer near you soon!

Yours Truly.
Emma and Ashvini

The Dogs - Allan Stratton.

OMG guys! We've missed you! We've literally been drowning in homework these past few months and just had to give the reviewing and blogging a break. We are sincerely sorry for our sudden absence. However, it's summer now, so you can expect tons of new posts in the next little while... :) Photo Source Link: Emma: I had a great time reading The Dogs. First, I have to say that I loved the cover and how it showed the books scary qualities. I just love the look of that blood splattered title. I think that it drew me to the book more than the summary which did not captivate my attention nearly as much as I think it could have. If you are not a fan of scary books this book might not be your forté, but if you do enjoy scary books you are in for a treat. The book was also sprinkled with a little mystery throughout that really made you theorize all of the possible directions that the story could go in. I loved how Cameron (the main character) had to piece together w...

The Bookmark Debate - #SheSaysSheSays

Hello Everyone,  Welcome to another very interesting edition of SheSaysSheSays...our little opinionated series where we input on all things bookish! Last segment, reviewers, Emma and Ashvini, both dished their two cents on the subject of ratings and their validity in the book-review-o-sphere! (We were incredibly delighted at your positive response and feedback, by the way, thank you for it all.) So this week were back at it again with some...bookmarks! Whoop-whoop! Today we're taking a slightly more comical approach on the series, by discussing the use of bookmarks and our personal responses and preferences with regards to them So, let's get on into it! Photo Source Link Ashvin i: Right off the bat, I’ve ought to admit; I don’t use bookmarks…or any sort of page marker, really with physical reads. Aside from being entranced by the allure of their cute paper patterns at bookstores, none of my page markers have ever been put to good use. Few have been ta...
