It's week four of the Summer Reading Challenge and it's not long now until the Rays of Sunshine 24 hour readathon!
On the topic of the readathon, I've spoken to a few bloggers and friends that are not able to do Saturday 18th August and that's fine. You can work it into your week however you like, doing it on a weekday if that is better for you. I just went with a majority after speaking to some people who were interested in being involved.
Anyway, here is the book I will be reading this week before the readathon and a recommendation for you to add to your TBR list...
Leah on the Off Beat by Becky Albertalli
I only read Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda earlier this year, right before the film was released, and I was excited when I heard that this follow-up book was coming out, focusing on Leah. Leah was a character that I wanted to know more about from reading Simon Vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda so I have very high expectations for this one. I've heard some mixed reviews but I'll decide to myself when I read it this week.
The Exact Opposite of Okay by Laura Steven
I absolutely adored this book when I first read it. I was very kindly sent a digital review copy by the publishers and as soon as it was released in stores I had to pick up my own paperback copy. The cover is incredible, the storyline is so prominent and I really loved the writing style. This book does deal with some adult themes, so if you're a younger reader then please be aware of this and check with someone before picking it up. I also did a video review for this book, which you can watch here.
Have you read either of these books?
