Summer Vibes Book Tag

Summer is upon us out of nowhere so I’d better get some summer-themed book tags done. I found this one on Kristin Kraves Books and it turned out to be a lot of fun.

• Thank the blogger who tagged you

• Tag some friends!

I have also picked a book set in Hawaii. Nineteenth century Hawaii that was still relatively unspoiled, to be precise. As well as a gorgeous setting, it also has a gorgeous story and brilliant main characters too. If you’re looking for a good summer fantasy read, this is definitely for you.

Turns out that I don’t read many books based on music as I had to reach back almost to this time next year to find one. Bri is an aspiring musician with undeniable talent for singing and for songwriting. While I didn’t like it as much as The Hate U Give, I still enjoyed it.

The court of Yan is so full of secrets that it’s a marvel that anyone can find their way around the intricate web of politics and don’t get completely entangled at once. I certainly got very confused as to who had which ulterior motive while reading this.

Another book based in Hawaii but in the modern day this time and centring around Maori traditions and, yes, riding whales.

Vampire fiction. My one big guilty pleasure which, dare I say it, might not be so guilty anymore. If The Beautiful proves anything, is that vampires can be well written!

Well, technically, it’s about heists and hijinks on the high seas but the friendship between Locke and Jean is one of the most predominant aspects of it. Neither would be anywhere without the other.

To the high mountains, to the Moon, to the palaces of the Gods themselves, this is one hell of an adventure! The book is beautifully illustrated, wickedly funny and also manages to give you some emotional moments too.

Now, I must stress that I don’t regret reading this because I think it’s bad. I regret reading this because I myself didn’t give it the attention it deserves. Kind of an ‘it’s-not-you-it’s-me’ DNF.

Light on story but very heavy on great characters and adorable dragons!

Bit of an obvious choice, isn’t it? I think it’s actually easier to name a character who isn’t annoying in the Twilight series. If they themselves aren’t annoying, the fact that they were so badly written will annoy you.

I tag anyone who wants to celebrate summer!

I hope to see you again very soon.
