10 Great Summer Reads

I've really been reading a lot more lately. And I love it! Before I got pregnant I had a really difficult time sleeping. I was prescribed Ambien and took it on occasion, but hated the fact I needed something to help me sleep. I really needed it almost every night though. Then I got pregnant and wow did the insomnia kick my butt! It was so awful.

Anyways....after I had Kinley I decided I needed something to clear my mind at night and help me relax. I had gone that long without any medication that I knew it was possible I just needed to find something that worked. I have read many good books since she was born and seem to fly through them. Time to put that library card to use. I am sharing some good reads I have read so far this summer. I really enjoy mindless reading so I don't have to really think about what I am reading. Hence, helping me relax.

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins: It took me a little to get into The Girl on the Train. Everyone said if I loved Gone Girl I would love this one. Once I got into it a little bit it was pretty good! I definitely enjoyed reading it. Once you get to the middle it sucks you in.

The Butternut Summer Series by Mary McNear: This is a 3 book series. I stumbled upon it while trying to find something to read that wouldn't cost too much. I really enjoyed the first one. The second one jumped around a little bit and I was hoping it would follow the first one. Then the third one was great again. It was definitely mindless reading, perfect for beach reading. I love those sappy love stories.

The Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll: I am still not sure what I think about this book. It definitely jumped around from past to present. I'm not going to lie, a few times I was confused as to what was going on. Did I mention I like mindless reading to help me relax :). Sometimes I got so sleepy I wasn't even thinking about what I was reading, and it got me lost in this book. I think overall it was a great read.

The Breathe Series by Elena Dillon: These were great mindless reading books. Drama and a love story all mixed together. There are 3 books then a prequel. 

Currently I am reading Consequences by Aleatha Romig. So far so good! I am really liking this one! It has got me sucked in from the beginning. Always a good sign.

There are a few more on my list but I would love to hear what your thoughts are on some good ones! I am going to need to go to the library because they are getting quite pricey getting them through my nook. What are some of your suggestions?

Happy Monday!
