Easy peasy! *nods head*

For more fun on this post, Grace asked some questions about SUMMER that I answered below. *proceeds to chant “summer”*

GJ: What is your favorite part of summer?

Me: SWIMMING!!!!!!!!!!!!

GJ: What are your plans for this summer?

Me: Again, swimming!! That’s how I spend the majority of my summer. (I’m a mermaid at heart!😛)

GJ: Name one or more books that shout Summer!

Me: Hmm, the Emily Windsnap series by Liz Kessler? It’s possible that some of the books in the series are set in the summer. I can’t remember for sure though. I know the first book is set during the school year. But, the reason I listed this book is because Emily is a mermaid (er . . . well . . . she’s technically a semi-mer). If you LOVE mermaids like me, then you might enjoy this series!😉

GJ: What books are you looking forward to reading this summer?

Me: Oof, my summer reading list is really long since I haven’t been able to read much during the school year. But the first book on my list is Held Captive by Grace A. Johnson. I want to read this book the minute I finish the one I’m currently reading. I also want to read The Traitor’s Game Series by Jennifer A. Nielsen. Then, Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. And after that, I want to read the Tradewinds Series by Taylor Bennett. If I have time after those, then I’ll read all the other books on my long TBR list.

    My #1 book to read this summer is probably The Traitors Game. I have the series checked out of the library to read as soon as I finish the Mark of the Thief trilogy! *sigh…yes I checked two series out of the the library at the same time🤣🤣*

        The Mark of the Thief is really good! (And it has an amazing plot twist!) I’m currently halfway through the Rise of the Wolf and it’s great as well!

                YES!!! (I listened to the audio book of TCK, and it had the first chapter of TSC at the end! It was SOOO GOOD!!!)
                AND SAGE IS THE BEST!!! XD

  • Joy Caroline

    Hi! I saw you guys updated your sidebar. Issa sure moves fast through the WIPs! Her new one has a fascinating cover. And you’re 18% complete with yours! Awesome!

    Wow, you really love swimming! I’m a good swimmer because I took lessons when I was very young – I think it’s an essential skill. But I must admit I don’t enjoy it. I’m just glad I know how because it means I’ll be safe around water, but I won’t do it unless necessary. I’m not a mermaid at heart, I don’t think. *sighs*

    In the summer, I really want to read this book “Marilla of Green Gables” by Sarah McCoy. It looks so interesting. It explores Marilla’s childhood and young womanhood, and what made her so no-nonsense and sensible. And *squeals* it also features a young Rachel Lynde, and Marilla’s mysterious romance with John Blythe. I tried listening to the audiobook, but I personally don’t like audiobooks. They go too slow for me. And I don’t like Kindle because I prefer actual books. So I think I’ll really have to order this one. It looks too good to pass up. I love anything Anne.

    Awesome post!

    • Katherine

      Hi, JC!!!!!! Haha, yeah she does! 😉 I can’t keep up with her!!! (How does she do it????😮 XD) Thank you!!!!!!!

      Ahh, yes, I do enjoy swimming!!!!! If I had a choice I would NEVER leave the water! Ever! Which is why I’m a mermaid at heart!😉 If I could breathe underwater, then I would stay underwater.😂 That’s AWESOME that you’ve taken swim lessons!!!!! I wish I could’ve taken official lessons! My mom taught me to swim though, so I don’t think I’m as good as a professional. I agree – swimming is definitely essential! The water does have its dangers, so I’m glad you’ll be able to keep yourself safe if necessary!!!🙂

      Oooh, awesome!!!!!! I’ve never heard of that book before, but I’ll check it out!!! That sounds AMAZING!!!!!!! 😀 Yeah, I know what ya mean! I’ve tried audiobooks before, but I’m a visual learner so it’s hard for me to pay attention and comprehend what I am listening to. And, YES YES YES, I prefer actual books too!!!!!!! There’s nothing like holding a book in your hands! 😉 Awesome!!!! I hope you enjoy reading it!!!!

      Thank you so much!!!!!!! <33333333

    • Katherine

      🙂 You’re welcome!!!!!!!!🙂💗 I’m sure it will go FANTABULOUSLY well!!!!! *winks* Yep, seriously! (And one of those places that I carried it to was dance class! XD) Awww!😊 <33333

  • Victoria

    THIS LOOKS SO AWESOME!!!! I can’t wait to (hopefully) get to the end! 😉 My favorite read this summer will probably be Heir to His Crown aaaaand I dunno, maybe finish this super long book I started way back in the fall? XD Also, whenever you read Keeper of the Lost Cities TOTALLY LEMME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!! I LOVE fangirling over that series with people! XD (Oh and your writing stats on the sidebar is SO COOL!!!) 😀

    • Katherine

      AHHH, I KNOW, RIGHT???!!!!!!! Grace is a GENIUS for hosting it!!!!! Me too!!!! It will be so much fun!!!!😉 Yep, Heir to His Crown will be AMAZING – I’m sure of it!!!😉 Haha, I feel about super long books! I’ve been in Little Women forever! I keep pausing in it to read other books. XD Alrighty – I’ll totally let you know what I think when I read it!!!!!! I’ve read the first page already (’cause I’m the kind of person who reads the first page of a book to see if I’ll be interested) and I was so HOOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eeek, I can’t wait till I read the whole thing and we can fangirl over it!!!!!!!😀 (THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!😀 I’m so glad you think so!!!!!! I’m hoping it will motivate me to write more, hehe.😉)

    • Katherine

      Thank you!!! Yes, it totally is!!!!!😀 Awesome! I think I’ll love it!!!!🙂 It sounds so amazing and the first page totally grabbed my interest!!!!!

  • Ribbon Ash

    Oh, I have read the Emily Windsnap series! I really enjoyed them myself.
    I am reading the Keeper of the Lost Cities series right now and, oh, I love the first book in the Traitor’s Game series. I haven’t read the rest and it’s killing me a little.

    • Katherine

      AWESOME, GIRL!!!!!!!😀 Why didn’t you tell me before that you had read the Emily Windsnap series????? It’s like one of my favorite series ever!!!!! Oooh, cool!!!! How are you liking Keeper of the Lost Cities so far? That’s awesome that you’ve read The Traitor’s Game!!!! I can’t wait to read it!!!!😀 I hope you’ll get to read the other books in the series soon!!!! *fingers crossed for you*

      • Ribbon Ash

        I read them age ago. Also I only have read the first four books in the series. I just learn there are more books in the series !!! I’m enjoying The Keeper of the Cities so far. I’m on book 2. Yess, I’m so hoping that I can finish Traitor’s Game series some time soon!!!!

        • Katherine

          Yeah, me too, which is why I want to go through the series again. Wow, the first four is still pretty good!!! You’re halfway through the series!!!!!!!😀 When I had first read them, only five books were out. Then Kessler released the sixth book and I read it. Now, I need to read numbers seven and eight. (But, since I forgot a lot of things, I want to reread the series before going to seven and eight.)
          Awesome!!!!!!!
          I know you can do it, girl!!!!!!! GOOOO RIBBON ASH!!!!!!!! 😀

      • Katherine

        *gasp* Really??!!!😀 *high-fives* Awesome!!! I haven’t read the last two books in the series yet. So I want to start from the beginning again and read them all!

  • Kristianne

    Great post, Katherine! The Tradewind series is SO good! And since you enjoy mermaid stories, you should check out The Broken Tides Stories series by Catherine Jones Payne. I think you would really enjoy them! I’m really looking forward to reading Dust soon. I just bought it, and I can’t wait to start it! 🙂

    • Katherine

      Thank you, Kristianne!!!!😀 Ooh, awesome!!!! I can’t wait to read them!!!!!😀 Oooh, that series looks AMAZING!!!!!! THANK YOU for telling me about it!!!!! I’ve been looking for another mermaid book and I’m so excited to check this one out!!!!!!! Cool!!!!! I’ve heard about how good Dust is, but I haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. You’ll have to tell me what you think of it once you read it! 😉

  • Em Elizabeth

    These past few months, school has said ” Free time? I think not!” so I haven’t gotten much reading done. That is why, when I got got home the other day, I sat down, evaluated my TBR pile, and made an extensive “Summer Book-et List”. Will I get through all of it? Who knows lol. Wish me luck!

    • Katherine
