The times they are a-changing

Tomorrow, guys and dolls, is my last college exam.

My last undergraduate activity. Boo. And hoo. And crying. Lots of it.

I have no idea what I want to do with my life. And everyone always tells me that the year after you finish college is the worst year of your life.

All I actually want to do is watch marathons of The Big Bang Theory and cultivate my love of Leonard,  and also read all of the lovely books that I've been neglecting. But alas, I have to go to work and decide what I want to do about graduate school. Scary, scary times.

Maybe I'll win the lottery on Friday. That'd be nice.

Still, my summer reading list is exciting. I have made one hard and fast rule. I will only read books that I actually want to read. I'm not reading anything Tolstoy-ish (the only Russian I even like is Nabokov) or anything even remotely wordy and miserable. Instead, these are the books I want to read:

The Raft

Book: The Raft by SA Bodeen

This doesn't come out until August, but it looks amazing. It looks like a teen version of Castaway, and I love that film.

My Life Next Door

Book: My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick 

I have been excited about this book since January when I started seeing people getting ARCs of it. It's out in early June and I am prepared to stalk my postman until it gets here.

Coffeehouse Angel

Book: Coffeehouse Angel by Suzanne Selfors 

I got this last week and I realllllyyyy want to read it. I just haven't had a chance yet because I've been learning off reams of poetry for our last exam.

Belles (Belles, #1)

Book: Belles by Jen Calonita

I am a cover slut, and the cover of this book is just gorgeous. I  want it for my shelf. I may at some point read it, or I may just buy it and stroke it.

Such a Rush

Book: Such a Rush by Jennifer Echols 

I do not feel like I need to justify why I want to read this. It is by Jennifer Echols. And that is all.

  1. I finish Highschool in October and I have no idea what I want to do and even that scares me! Ideally I would love to sit around at home, read, workout, and prepare healthy meals. lol.

    I want to read all those books too! This is the first time I've heard of Raft or Coffee House Angel though but they both look quite interesting.

    1. Coffee House Angel is good! Belles is better though, I'd start there!
