This week's discussion topic is: 

What was the best book you read in June?

The Host was by far the best book I read in June. When I read it, I literally could not put it down. I spent an entire weekend doing  nothing but reading. It was so worth it because it was amazing! The storyline is so original and unique, and the love situation is the most interesting love situation I have ever read in a story. I also loved the message that not all of humanity is bad, there is still some good left in the world. I could go on and on about this book and how incredible it is for a long time. I would recommend it to anyone. Oh, and be sure to check out my review here.

So, without posting any spoilers, what was the best book you read in June?

This week's discussion topic is: 

How did you spend/how will you spend the summer after graduation?

Excellent question! Well, I'm not sure how this question has to do with reading or writing, but I'm not complaining. The summer after I graduated high school, I actually started writing a book. I never finished it, but I came pretty close to doing so. Even though I never plan on finishing it, I am definitely glad I had the experience. Writing is better than not writing at all! Besides writing that summer, I also remember going to my cousin's wedding that August. It had been several years since I had been to a wedding, so I was really happy to be able to go to one because I love weddings.

As for the summer after I graduate from college (which happens to be next summer!!), I plan on going to Florida with my mother and checking out the Harry Potter theme park! Hopefully it will all work out and I'll get to go! I've wanted to go to the Universal  Park for several years now.

If you could go on a writing retreat anywhere, where would you go & who would you bring? If time and money were no object, where would you shut yourself away to write the great American novel? And what friends, crit partners, or inspiring authors (living or dead!) would you bring along?

Love this question! If I could go anywhere to just write, I would go to the Caribbean Islands. The setting of my novel takes place on an island quite similar to the Caribbean, so I would want to take full advantage and go there so I would be able to describe what it is like there in my novel. As for who I would bring along, I'd bring my future husband with me. I wouldn't want many other people there with me to distract me from my writing, so I would only bring the love of my life with me.

What was the best book you read in May?

I put my head down in shame when I say this, but I only read one book in May. I am normally very busy during the school year & don't have much time to read. With that said though, the book I read, Insurgent, would have topped any other book that I would have read in May. Insurgent was phenomenal! I loved it. I highly recommend it to, well, everyone! You need to read it if you haven't read it yet. Read my review of it here.

So, without posting any spoilers, what was the best book you read in May?
