The Last Hurrah Hop GIVEAWAY!


Summer is winding down, school has already started for a few, and all those summer activities are coming to an end.  The Last Hurrah is a sort of final salute to summer and the final bit of summer fun.  School doesn't start here until September, but it will be here before we know it!  The Last Hurrah runs August 18-24.  This hop features summery reads. 


This hop is hosted by ME and is the last of the Summer Giveaway Hops that Jen at YA Romantics, Jen at The Starry Eyed Revue and myself put together.  It's been a good time and I'm sad to see it all end...

I've read a few good summery reads this year, these are my favorites.  Keep in mind, my idea of summery reads are books that are lighter & funner.  They can have some serious stuff happen, but for the most part be stress-free. {Side note: my favorite of all of these are My Life Next Door and Just One Day, they might both make it on my best of the year list.}


I'm giving away a $15 Gift Card or a book ordered from The Book Depository if you are international and they ship to you.  This way you can pick which one YOU want!
Open Worldwide
You must be 13 or older to enter.
Fill out the rafflecopter!

    I've read lots of good books this year, but none of them were particularly summery. Jennifer Estep's Midnight Frost, Shana Abe's The Sweetest Dark, and Generation V by M.L. Brennan were some of them.

    I entered The Last Hurrah Hop GIVEAWAY.
    It would be great to win a book from The Book Depository.
    In response to your question of
    Did you read any good summery reads this year, do you have any you recommend? Or even just any favorites in general?
    I would recommend "A Certain Summer" by Patricia Beard.
    Thank you for having this giveaway!!!!!!!

    I recently finished Fifteenth Summer by Michelle Dalton and it's definitely a summer book - great for the beach as well. I can't wait to dive into Sixteenth Summer. I'm sort of on a mission to read as much summer books as possible before school starts.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    For summer, I definitely think light comedic reads. Sarah Dessen can be a bit on the heavier side but she's probably the outstanding example of summery reads for me especially This Lullaby and The Truth About Forever. Any book with the beach on the cover is pretty good though too!
