News from the Curio – 17
Happy Monday all!
That’s it, July is over and August is here! It feels really weird to me; we’ve been having a very rainy and unusually cold summer, and while I’m not a fan of the super hot days, I’d still like to get a few more rays of sunshine. I feel as though the summer is only starting!
But July is over, and with it my month of reading YA contemporary fiction. It was a great month. Lots of good and entertaining reading, and not too many disappointments. A total of 17 books, 3 of them audio.
I really, really need to catch up with reviews though!
I can quickly tell you though, that I found a new favorite in The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ockler. So beautifully written! I’ve been a fan for a long time, and yet she completely blew me away. Loved the story, the characters, everything.
Mailbox!
Another week, another bunch of new books. Summerlong and Eight Hundred Grapes are on audio, I’m really looking forward to listening to them.
Oh! You Pretty Things by Shanna Mahin – Summerlong by Dean Bakopoulos
The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord – Eight Hundred Grapes by Laura Dave
What books did you recently add to your shelves?
Filling the Shelf simply is Mailbox Monday, but with a title that suits my blog! If you’re interested in joining the fun or seeing what other bloggers added to their shelves, click away! (but beware, visiting other mailboxes will probably add to your neverending wishlist!)
Congrats on your month of YA reading. Looks like you read some good ones! I liked Eight Hundred Grapes so I hope you enjoy it (and your other new books).
I’m an Ockler fan too and will have to look for that book. I want to read Summerlong!
Looks like July was a great reading month for you! I hope you enjoy your new books! I really need to try to get into audio books more.
Vanishing Girls looks really good. I hope you have a great week!

Glad to hear it about Mermaids- I will move it up the reading queue. I’m drooling over all your lovely contemporary reads!
Eight Hundred Grapes & Start of Me & You are enjoyable summer reads. And I’ve had my eye on Summerlong and Pretty Things.
Happy reading, Kaye! I wish I could send you some of our hot weather.
These all look so tempting! I have Summerlong on my list.,
Enjoy…and thanks for visiting my blog.
All of your new reads look great! Enjoy!
Very nice mailbox.
ENJOY Eight Hundred Grapes….It was a fun read and an emotional one.
The Summer of Chasing Mermaids sounds really fun.
Have a wonderful reading week.
