This is my very first book talk so I'm really excited and nervous at the same time because I don't know how it will go. When I talk about book I tend to ramble on and on so I think for this type of post I will write like I talk to a person, less formal. And I think it's the best way for you to get to know me better. Hope after this post I won't scare you away because sometimes I tend to go off topic =/
Anyway before I start on the summer releases, I just want to let you know that last month, August was not a good month for me. I was in a reviewing slump that why there was only one review that month, so sorry about that. I blamed it on the heat though. When the weather is hot, it gives me headache so all I want to do is read (I read around 50 books =D, really proud of myself here). Summer is over but where I live, it's still hot (avg 90 F--->UGH I just want to die, heat wave and I are enemy). The weather is not going to change until early November but at least it was not like summer so it's good right. I hope I'll get back on track soon ... you can expect a lot of reviews coming up on your feed. Soon I promise =)
Ok back to summer releases, there were some books (stand alone and series) that you don't want to miss because they are amazing and will blow your mind. (I've not read all of them yet but I've heard so many good things about them and cannot wait to get started)
**It is not in any particular order.
1
Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay (Stand Alone)
It's a retelling of Beauty and Beast + high fantasy. This book was simply amazing and the romance well let's just say it will make your insides turn upside down.
2
The last book in Fire and Thorns Trilogy. This is one of my favorite high fantasy. The world building is breath taking that you can actually feel it with all your five senses. The story is fantastic. If you are a fan of YA fantasy well you really don't want to miss this series.
3
The second book in Throne of Glass series. I've not read this series yet but I've heard so many wonderful thing about it. And look at that badass cover guys ---> well of course I have to have this book on my shelves. Since I love binge reading and I don't know how many books are in this series I think I may wait till the third book is out before reading this series.
4
I've not read this book yet but I'm planning to start reading this series as soon as this lovely arrives at my house. This book is high fantasy and it it told from two POVs. I've heard nothing but good things about this book (especially about the romance) so I cannot wait to dig into this series =)

Such a pretty cover and the font is absolutely beautiful. This is the first book in the series so it may be a while before I read it (like I said before I love binge reading). The concept of this book is really interesting (historical fiction+magic) and a lot of people seem to like this book. 'Sorting truth from illusion yields her destiny' well I'm in =)

I thought it was a stand alone, didn't know it was a series. Well this book I've heard so many, many talks about it back at the beginning of the year. 'You stop fearing the devil when you’re holding his hand…' ---> I guess this will be a dark, mystery paranormal read so I'm saving it for the Halloween.

Love the cover, the dress is so beautiful. I've not read this series yet but will read it soon since so many people are falling in love with this series.
----------------------------------
That's all. If you think I missed any good books that were released in summer (June-August) please let me know. And guys, I'd love to know how many books that you read this summer and which one you loved the most and will recommend it to everyone.
And for those who are going back to school, good luck and have fun =) I'm so happy that I'm done with school because for me whenever I heard 'It's time to go back to school' I'd always feel sick. It's like oh joy torture time are you ready? =X
Happy reading.
Great list. I hadn't heard Of Beauty and Beast so I'm off to check it out. Sounds like my kind of book :)
