With summer here, it is the perfect time to sit back and relax with a book. I personally love reading, but I know others do not. I think you just have to find the right book. Here are some of my all-time favorite books that I recommend to all my friends and are perfect for some summer downtime.
- Crazy Rich Asians Trilogy– My friend recommended this series to me before the movie came out and I became OBSESSED with them. They are great beach reads, quick and easy, and very entertaining.
- Into the Water– This is my favorite psychological thriller. I made my boyfriend read it and even he loved it, so that’s when you know it’s good. This is a great page turner that leaves you in suspense until literally the last page. AHH I love this book.
- Sharp Objects– This book is as dark and twisted as they come. I love Gillian Flynn and this kept me on my toes until the very end. This book is what started my love for psychological thrillers.
- Da Vinci Code– This is a classic. My sister made me read this and it is just an awesome mystery and story. I also loved how factual it was. I know it is long, but trust me this is a book you want to read.
- The Things They Carried– We read this in my Junior year English class, and this was one of the best and most well written books I have ever read. It is a gorgeous read that brought me to tears multiple times.
- Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close– I read this book this past year and loved it. It is very sad (I was bawling on the plane reading it), but it is so so good.
- Hack– This is not my usual read, but I LOVED this book. My friend, Sam, swore by it and I read it and loved it. It is a funny mystery about a serial killer. I don’t want to give too much away, but this is a book you will thoroughly enjoy. I could barely put it down.
- Shadow of the Wind– Also not my usual book, but this was a beautiful story that had twist after twist. It was also fun reading this before going to Barcelona!
Will you bring Hack to Budapest?
