Link Up #1: My Top 3 Favorite Books


I love this post, but it's so hard to choose just 3! Yesterday, I joined a fabulous blogger book swap and I couldn't be more thrilled!! A swap that fit me perfectly!!

My top 3 favorite books (in no particular order):

#1: The Hunger Games Trilogy (I count all 3 books as 1 book)
by: Suzanne Collins
Baily likes The Hunger Games as well!
I never thought I would enjoy these books, but geezz, Suzanne Collins had me at the sexual tension of Katniss and Peeta. I can't say enough about these books and I actually might read them again this summer.

#2: Something Borrowed (I liked Something Blue as well)
by: Emily Giffin 

I loved that these books were a fast read, yet still full of "girl" drama that I loved. If you want a quick girly read, go grab this book! I like Emily Giffin's books in general. I still have 3 books of hers that I haven't read yet.

#3: Are You There Vodka it's Me, Chelsea 
by: Chelsea Handler

I'm not sure if this counts as a book, but....I love her show. I love her books. I just love her!! She writes just as she talks and I was literally laughing out loud to myself reading this. This books is just a memoir of her life as she is just starting out in Hollywood.

I'm currently reading 'The Fault In Our Stars' by: John Greene, and it's brilliantly written in the perspective of a teenage girl with cancer. Depending on how it ends, it might be on my new top 3.

But, as you can see, I like many different books. My summer reading list has like 11 books on it. Is that normal??? Can't wait to see what other people's favorite books are. Hopefully, I can add to my summer reading list. If you haven't already, please follow me on BlogLovin' on my right side column! I look forward to meeting other great Bloggers who love to read as well!

  1. You and I basically have the SAME taste in books. Hunger Games makes my top 10 list (although Catching Fire was my fave!), as does TFIOS. I also adored Something Borrowed- but I think I liked Something Blue a bit more?! I read it ages ago though!

  2. I first read Hunger Games while I was a stay at home wife for a summer at Camp Pendleton. It was a summer where I cruised through a ton of books and really debated putting them in my top three (such a difficult decision). I think Lady Antebellum was interviewed on their tour bus and they were caught up in the book. I figured if everyone is making such a big deal out of it, I should read it, too and I loved it. While my husband was on his second deployment to Afghanistan, I sent him a copy and he called me to ensure the rest of the series because he loved them!

    I actually haven't read any of Emily Giffin's books but I would love to add it to my summer reading list. I know they're super popular with many of my friends.

    For Christmas one year, my friend got me a copy of Chelsea's Horizontal Life and I adore Chelsea Handler. She's sassy, honest, and hilarious!

    Thanks for taking the time to share and welcome to the swap!

  3. Hi Kristen!

    I already downloaded The Fault in our Stars after reading a short excerpt and I can´t wait to get to it actually ;)

    I love a little girl drama read myself from time to time. The Shopaholic series fits that gap quite perfectly for me!

    Great to have you on board!
