Monday Meme: Need Something Easy and Breezy?


Sometimes you just need a quick, cheerful read. Instead of being bogged down in details, you get the storyline and the characters, and go from there. Here are a few of my favorite quick reads to get me out of a slump. 

Something, Maybe: Elizabeth Scott- Weighing in at only 217 pages, this sliver of a book is one I've read countless times. It's a story about crazy parents, crazy friends, and how the people around you shape your world, for better or for worse. It's funny and feels like home, and if you think you'd like to read it, click here to place a hold.

First & Then: Emma Mills- This is a new favorite of mine. As a small-town girl who went to a tiny high school that loved their football, this one definitely resonated with me. A lot of people thought it should have gone deeper into some of the issues glanced over in this book, but the book wasn't about those people. It didn't have 600 pages It was about a girl and a boy and football, and I loved it. Click here if you think you might love it too. 

Not if I See You First: Eric Lindstrom- This one is a little bit different, because our main character, a girl named Parker, is blind. She's been betrayed by someone she loves (and although that past love story is a little bit strange to me) the healing and the way she handles herself and her blindness is a really interesting take on a much-told tale.

Waiting On Wednesday: First & Then by Emma Mills

“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly event hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine, and it gives you a chance to spotlight a book that you are eagerly waiting to be released.








This week, I picked:

First & Then
By Emma Mills
Publication Date: September 8, 2015















From Goodreads:

Devon Tennyson wouldn't change a thing. She's happy watching Friday night games from the bleachers, silently crushing on best friend Cas, and blissfully ignoring the future after high school. But the universe has other plans. It delivers Devon's cousin Foster, an unrepentant social outlier with a surprising talent for football, and the obnoxiously superior and maddeningly attractive star running back, Ezra, right where she doesn't want them first into her P.E. class and then into every other aspect of her life.

Pride and Prejudice meets Friday Night Lights in this contemporary novel about falling in love with the unexpected boy, with a new brother, and with yourself.

Why I picked it:

Besides the fact that the cover is insanely awesome? Well, I'm pretty dang curious to see what trouble Foster will present to Devon, and who she is going to end up with in the end. Click here to put your name on the hold list
