You guys. In light of my newfound resolve to read more (again), I’ve started my summer reading list. In case you’re looking to do some reading too, I wanted to share my initial picks. Friends, please continue to send your reccs over…!
- The Maze Runner trilogy + prequel (The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure, The Kill Order) by James Dashner
- One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories by B.J. Novak
- The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri
- Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
- Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
- Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
- Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
Three of these books will have movie adaptations coming out sometime this/next year… in case you’re not into the reading thing. 😉 I actually just finished the first Maze Runner book and it reminded me of a darker version of The Hunger Games. Yikes. Took me half of the book to get hooked, but hooked I am, and I can’t wait to finish the series.
I tried really hard to find a picture of me reading but alas, this is all I could find… -_- Circa 5/2009
Happy Reading!!

Gone Girl! Can’t wait for that movie!!
did you read it? or is the trailer out already..
The teaser is out. Didn’t read it. Gillian Flynn wrote the screenplay. Fincher and Affleck! Gonna be a good one.
I just finished Crazy Rich Asians! On the note of rich Asians, I recommend Free Food for Millionaires too, which is more relatable for Asian Americans. I think I only appreciated Crazy Rich Asians having just come back from Singapore.
Since you have a couple comedy: Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris is great. His other books are not, however.
thanks for the reccs ryan! 🙂
