Must-Have Summer Reading
If the only definition of this are the books that I read over and over again, there are probably a gazillion books I could name. As it stands, I'll just name a couple (these aren't necessarily my absolute favourites, but I obviously can't name all of them so I just picked a few):

Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan
Seriously love this series. It's just so well written. Percabeth is the best.

The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
Of course. Self explanatory.

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Review. Sidebar. John Green. Again, self explanatory.

Speechless by Hannah Harrington
One word: Sam. SamSamSamsamsam... (if you get the reference, you are awesome)

Favourite recommended summer reads
For some reason, my definition of a "summer read" is basically just a contemporary romance novel. Don't ask me why. It just somehow fits like that in my brain. So here we go:

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
This is such a nice book. I just love how the romance is built (not an instalove in sight).

Anything Sarah Dessen
I put up my two favourite Sarah Dessens there: Just Listen and The Truth About Forever, but seriously, any Sarah Dessen is a good summer read.

Must-Have Summer Reading
Summer reads to me, mean books that are light, funny, and have an incredibly sweet romance. Something that you can read outside, preferably at the beach, that suits the sunshine you know. Preferably with a boy from next door.

My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
Please look no further, this is THE most perfect summer read. Incredibly sweet romance, the beach is mentioned, and there's a boy next door.

Flat-Out Love by Jessica Park
This book never fails to make me laugh. It's quirky, and unique, and just flat-out awesome! (See what I did there)

The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
This is another ultimate summer read. The first of a trilogy (so plenty more amazing summer-ness), most of it is set at the beach, and somehow, the books are each better than the last. Whenever I read this, I dream of summer.

That Boy by Jillian Dodd
Although the sequel was a DNF for me, That Boy is incredibly sweet. It's about a girl growing up with the two boys next door; packed with sport, and many heart warming moments, it was really an amazing read.

The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines
In this case, I think I loved the sequel even more! The Vincent Boys is another great YA contemporary romance about those cute boys next door. Hello summer!

Game. Set. Match. by Jennifer Iacopelli
Summer is not complete without sport, and Game. Set. Match. is probably the best YA sports contemporary that I've read. It centres around tennis (the best sport there is), with 4 main characters and so 4 absolutely adorable romances.
