TOP 5 LIST: Favorite Books I Read In Summer Holiday

  Hey everyone! I decided to make a list about my favorite summer holiday books and it was hard to pick just 5 of them. Because I read awesome books in 2014 summer holiday. Nevertheless I thought that I can read more during summer but I had a lot of plans to do like going outside, shopping, swimming.. Briefly, I don't find so much hours to read. Anyway, I read 13 books and 2 novellas and that's better than nothing and this is my consolation :D
 
  You can find the book review's below, I reviewed all of books which is in the list because I think they are the best and they deserved reviewing and also recommending :)

  By the way there is no ranking up to 1 to 5 these books are the best and I couldn't say I love this one more than this one :)

  Anyway, let's started!

1- FANGIRL by Rainbow Rowell

A coming-of-age tale of fan fiction, family and first love. 
Cath is a Simon Snow fan.
Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan...
But for Cath, being a fan is her life—and she’s really good at it. She and her twin sister, Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just kids; it’s what got them through their mother leaving.
Reading. Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere.
Cath’s sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can’t let go. She doesn’t want to.
Now that they’re going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn’t want to be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort zone. She’s got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk about words... And she can’t stop worrying about her dad, who’s loving and fragile and has never really been alone.
For Cath, the question is: Can she do this?
Can she make it without Wren holding her hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? Writing her own stories?
And does she even want to move on if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?
MY RATING: 5/5 stars
SERIES: No series included
 THOUGHTS: Fangirl is the first book I read from Rainbow Rowell and I can't wait to read more about her books. Her writing is an easy-read, funny, heartbreaking and also so lovely. This book is one of the best contemporary book I've ever read and I think contemporary books are the best for summer holiday reading. Unfortunately, this is the only book I read in contemporary. Anyway, you definitely read this book.

3- DAUGHTER OF SMOKE & BONE by Laini Taylor

Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.
In a dark and dusty shop, a devil’s supply of human teeth grows dangerously low.
And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war.
Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real, she’s prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands", she speaks many languages - not all of them human - and her bright blue hairactually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she’s about to find out.
When beautiful, haunted Akiva fixes fiery eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?
MY RATING: 5/5 stars
SERIES:  Daughter of Smoke & Bone #1
THOUGHTS: This is a really interesting young adult book with angels and demons attractive story with poetic written. Karou and Akiva's attraction and witnessed their incredibly amazing forbidden love. This is not a typical young adult angel book. Just one word: amazing.

4- THE EDGE OF NEVER by J.A. Redmerski

Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett thought she knew exactly where her life was going. But after a wild night at the hottest club in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, she shocks everyone-including herself-when she decides to leave the only life she's ever known and set out on her own. Grabbing her purse and her cell phone, Camryn boards a Greyhound bus ready to find herself. Instead, she finds Andrew Parrish.
Sexy and exciting, Andrew lives life like there is no tomorrow. He persuades Camryn to do things she never thought she would and shows her how to give in to her deepest, most forbidden desires. Soon he becomes the center of her daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But there is more to Andrew than Camryn realizes. Will his secret push them inseparably together-or destroy them forever?


MY RATING: 5/5 stars
SERIES: The Edge Of Never #1
THOUGHTS: I generally don't read new adult books but I bought this book a year ago and once I tried to start it but couldn't continued because of exams. And then I decided to read this book during summer holiday and I am so glad to read this book because I love Camryn and Andrew's road-trip and also their relationship. That's not a typical new adult book. Characters are so adorable and mature. So there is no such a misunderstanding situations fortunately.

5- THE WINNER'S CURSE by Marie Rutkoski

Winning what you want may cost you everything you love.
As a general’s daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions. One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. 
Arin’s eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It’s not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin. But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined. 
Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.
MY RATING: 5/5 stars
SERIES: The Winner's Curse #1
THOUGHTS: This book reminds me Game of Thrones and I know the fact about this book is like Game of Thrones.  We can't say they resemble each other but I saw this book on Epic Reads in if you loved Game of Thrones you will love these books tag and when I saw this book's cover I thought I must read as soon as possible. The Winner's Curse is more than I expect. I really loved the plot, characters, plot-twists and Arin and Kestrel's relationship buildings. I can't wait to read the second book and this will be out in March 2015! There is a huge cliffhanger in the first book's ending so I can't wait to see what's happening next.
