This past summer I've read more books than ever before at this pace. I've pretty much been going at one book per week, and for me that's a bunch. All June I felt a kind of resentment for any reading because the spring had left me completely worn out thanks to studying. But as July came around, I was sucked back into reading for pleasure in no time at all. I reserved five books from my library and started reading them, always finishing the first before the next one was ready to be picked up.

Of course this amount of reading has required some more time than my normal schedule would allow. So the factor that has made devouring book after book possible for me is traveling. I've sat through dozens of car and train rides commuting between home, my new, to be home and our summer place (+ a few bonus trips). This has meant hours of quality time with the pages of amazing books.

So far my favorite for the summer (and all year basically) is Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. The series pulled me in from page one and has me in its firm grip. I love everything about the books, but my favorite thing is abslutely the way in which the story is written. I don't have any other experience of Aveyard's work, but I'll definitely pick up another one of her pieces -no doubt. The text flows so effortlessly, like a river, and no line ever feels out of place or clumsy.

But as all good things tend to do, my summer vacation is closing in in less than a week. I hope this wont mean the end of all other-than-uni-books. I mean, I still have to experience the last installment in the Red Queen series and my own bookshelf has 16 unread books just lying around, not to mention the whole new library in my new hometown that awaits exploration. Of cource my text books have got me quite excited also, but I'm not sure how a post about medical genetics or rheumatism would go down on here.. :D I will keep you updated ;)

Enjoy your summer readings!
