Top 5 Summer Reads!

Nå er sommeren her for alvor! De siste ukene har det vært strålende sol og over 20 grader her i Bergen, så det er perfekt tid til å sitte ute å lese en god bok og jobbe med brunfargen. Personlig så leser jeg for det meste lettleste, romantiske bøker om sommeren. Noe som ikke behøver konsentrasjon eller har for mye mening.. Hvis du skjønner hva jeg mener?

Men her er ihvertfall mine top 5 sommerbøker! 

1. Can you keep a Secret av Sophie Kinsella

Dette er en av mine absolutt favorittbøker igjennom tidene! Den er hysterisk morsom, romantisk og trist. Den har alt man trenger når man ligger på stranden og slapper av! 

Meet Emma Corrigan, a young woman with a huge heart, an irrepressible spirit, and a few little secrets: Secrets from her boyfriend: I’ve always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken. Secrets from her mother: I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom with Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben-Hur. Secrets she wouldn’t share with anyone in the world: I have no idea what NATO stands for. Or even what it is. Until she spills them all to a handsome stranger on a plane. At least, she thought he was a stranger.…Until Emma comes face-to-face with Jack Harper, the company’s elusive CEO, a man who knows every single humiliating detail about her… /Goodreads/


2. Anna and the French Kiss av Stephanie Perkings

Dette er den perfekte bassengboken. Den er lettlest og søt historie. Får deg til å ønske du var i Paris! 

Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris–until she meets Étienne St. Clair. Smart, charming, beautiful, Étienne has it all…including a serious girlfriend.
But in the City of Light, wishes have a way of coming true. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with their long-awaited French kiss? /Goodreads/






3. Yes, Please av Amy Poehler

Denne er for deg som liker bedre å høre på lydbok når du slapper av i solen, for dette er en bok som må høres. Amy Poehler leser selv boken og den er hysterisk morsom. Hennes syn på livet kommer til å få deg til å le som en dust på bussen, det gjorde ihvertfall jeg! 

In Amy Poehler’s highly anticipated first book, Yes Please, she offers up a big juicy stew of personal stories, funny bits on sex and love and friendship and parenthood and real life advice (some useful, some not so much), like when to be funny and when to be serious. /Goodreads/







4. I've Got Your Number av Sophie Kinsella

Dette er også en av mine favoritter! Denne er også morsom og romantisk, men man føler også at man er der med Poppy. Panikken over å ha mistet forlovelsesringen (som også er et dyrt arvestykke), og hun er villig til å gjøre alt for å skjule det for svigerforeldrene og forloveden!

Poppy Wyatt has never felt luckier. She is about to marry her ideal man, Magnus Tavish, but in one afternoon her “happily ever after” begins to fall apart. Not only has she lost her engagement ring in a hotel fire drill but in the panic that follows, her phone is stolen. As she paces shakily around the lobby, she spots an abandoned phone in a trash can. Finders keepers! Now she can leave a number for the hotel to contact her when they find her ring. Perfect!

Well, perfect except that the phone’s owner, businessman Sam Roxton, doesn’t agree. He wants his phone back and doesn’t appreciate Poppy reading his messages and wading into his personal life./Goodreads/




5. Eat Pray Love av Elizabeth Gilbert

Hvis du er noenlunde lik meg, så kommer du til å elske denne boken. For mange så begynner det nye året 1 januar med nye målsettinger og nytt pågangsmot. Men jeg har alltid brukt sommeren som en tid til selvrefleksjon og det er nå jeg setter meg nye mål! Derfor liker jeg også å lese bøker som inspirerer meg.
 
In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want–husband, country home, successful career–but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she felt consumed by panic and confusion. This wise and rapturous book is the story of how she left behind all these outward marks of success, and of what she found in their place. Following a divorce and a crushing depression, Gilbert set out to examine three different aspects of her nature, set against the backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. /Goodreads/
