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...

Interview With Jennifer A. Nielsen!

Photo Source Link Over the course of the past few months, TwoGirlsThatRead has been working on a really special surprise.  When we started this blog nine months ago, we'd hoped that one day we'd be able to do cool stuff like this. However, we'd never in our wildest dreams (T Swizzle reference) thought we'd be able to do something like this so soon and with someone so kind and talented. This has been an amazing opportunity that we'd seriously like to thank Ms. Nielsen for. About a month ago, Jennifer A. Nielsen released her new book " A Night Divided."  It's a historical fiction based around the Berlin Wall. Us, being the fangirls we are, were curious. about how Jennifer A. Nielsen wrote her books, and why she wrote her books, and just her writing books in general. So, after pulling a few strings we got the opportunity of doing an interview with her and POOF! Here we are now! For those of you that don't know, Ms. Nielsen is a New ...

Meeting Penguin Teen On Tour!

Hello Everyone, It's been awhile since we last posted, it just so happened that we got super caught up with life and took an unplanned vacation from blogging. However, today's post is sort of like an update on what bookish activities we've been up to.  Not that long ago, the TwoGirlsThatRead Team went to our local bookstore eagerly anticipating a rare significance: an author event! A lot of the time decent author events either never happen or are just a long drive away. However, that was not the case with this one and we were able to meet Penguin Teen On Tour! That's a wondrous picture of the posters they handed out and my (Ashvini's) shelf-in-progress! Anyways, Penguin Teen is a very famous publisher of many New York Times Bestselling books including "An Ember in the Ashes" by Sabaa Tahir (more on that to come). Recently, they announced tour dates where a few of their authors would come in, answer questions, and do some book si...
