I've recently finished The Midnight Library by Matt Haig and it is brilliantly thought-provoking! I have Reasons to stay alive waiting on my bookshelf, The Comfort Book, his latest work is coming out soon and I have just ordered The Humans and the Radleys so it fair to say this might be a Matt Haig summer!
If there is one newsletter that I read religiously, it is Letters of rebellion by Meg Kissack. I love discovering her weekly pep talk (She also has a great podcast called the Daily Pep if you need more of those), which is followed by a list of recommendations called the Rebel's digest. In this segment she often recommends books. She mentioned The 100 years of Lenni and Margot and I immediately ordered it, as well as The House in the Cerulean Sea, which she also recommended.
I'm currently reading Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers. I have to admit I bought it because the cover is gorgeous and would look great on a shelf, but the story is actually captivating and I'm having trouble putting it down. Her novel Learning to Swim is also on my to-read list.
Two of my favorite authors, Jennifer Niven and David Levithan have collaborated to write Take Me With You Where You Go which is set to be released at the end of August and I will definitely pick a copy of it.
A copy of The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green is also expected to arrive in my mailbox very soon. It is, I believe, his first non-fiction book and I can't wait to dive in.
Lastly, I've just started Anxious People by Swedish author Fredrik Backman. I'm only a few pages in but it looks very promising (It's always a good omen when the first page makes you giggle). A Man Called Ove has also caught my interest. Did you know there is a book genre called Up Lit, which stands for uplifting literature? A Man Called Ove is part of it. Check out this list if you're interested.
What is on your reading list this summer? I'd love to know!
