[The Scenic Route] Extra Book Club

Hi there!

Reading positively makes me happy!

I know that we still have another week left to finish the  August Read  Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple, but I have to admit that I finished the book the other week, read another book, and am finishing another one now. I'm definitely back into my reading mode again; I've even neglected Pinterest these past couple of months now because of all this reading (although the other day, I went back on it...fall's coming, so I need some inspiration!)

The first book I read was recommended by a friend who wholeheartedly agreed with my assessment of the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy by E.L James. She said that Bared to You by Sylvia Day, is the same genre, but a much better read, and she was right! I guess the next book in the series is coming out in October, so you have time if you want to read this first book! The book that I'm currently working on is The Marriage Bargain by Jennifer Probst. I guess I'm into the steamy romantic genre right now. I'm really enjoying this one so far and sad that I'm almost done with it.

It think there's a revival of the Harlequin romance-type novels going on, but a much more risqué version, since Fifty Shades of Gray. Even though the book series was painful to get through, I do have to admit that I am looking forward to the movie version of Fifty Shades, especially if Matt Bomer plays the lead (I love White Collar!)

If anyone wants to get started, the September Read will be a book I read a few months ago called Wife 22 by Melanie Gideon. It's a smart twist on the romantic genre and I'll introduce it formally next week.

Have you ever gotten stuck on reading a certain genre? Let me know since I'm on this romantic streak right now. Thank you for visiting and being a part of my journey!

See you later!
