This year I have been focusing on reading a lot. It’s such a pleasure of mine and something I have always loved doing. So this year I set the goal of 52 books this year. I have read 17 books so far and according to Goodreads I’m right on track to hit 52 books. So I thought I’d share some of my more recent favorites,maybe you’ll enjoy some of them too. Summer is a great time to read so I put together a summer book list. So check out a few and maybe add them to your reading list. If you have any favorite books you’ve read lately leave a comment so I can check them out. I can never have enough books.
I included a couple books I’ve read for blogging and business. Also I added just some fun and enjoyable books that I loved reading. I have wide tastes when it comes to reading. I like romantic books and thrillers. I also enjoy trilogies as well. I hope you find a book you enjoy from my list.
What Alice Forgot * The Time Keeper * Better than Before
How to blog * Girlboss * The Husband’s Secret
Dark places * Girl on the Train * Paper Towns
* This post contains affiliate links. All opinions are my own and 100% truthful. I’ve read each of these books and liked them all.

52 books in a year would be tough for me. I think I have read about 3 or 4 this year. Ill have to check out some of these books.

I love to read but I really get most of my reading in when I fly. Recently, I finished reading Elaine Mingus’ novel, Without Regret. You should definitely add it to your reading list.

I wish I had time to read for leisure! Not much extra time with working from home, homeschooling and a newborn though. 😉

We have similar taste in books. This year I’ve read Dark Places, The Girl on the Train, and I just finished The Husband’s Secret. I have What Alice Forgot in my to-read pile as well so I guess I will have to check out the others.

GO you with 52 books! That was my goal a few years ago and I did it. It felt SO good. And I love your list–I read Paper Towns and loved it and can’t wait to read The Girl on the Train. Thanks so much for linkingup at MeetUp Monday! Hope to see you tomorrow too!
