1 SUMMER 2017 READING LIST THE HOTTEST READS FOR SUMMER DAYS

2 Summer is here! Among the many things that make this time of year great is the thought of spending it sprawled outside somewhere reading a book - on a chair in your yard, cross-legged on your balcony, on a bench in the park, nestled in the shade of a tree, in your hidden nook... With the exception of the shower, there really is no place that can t be made more joyful with the introduction of a book. Reading allows you to make new friends, explore new worlds and discover new ideas. It also keeps us entertain us and give us dreams to soar towards. But with the desire to read comes great responsibility. How do we chose what to read?? At EXCITE, we like to help make your life easier. We decided to embark on a mission to compile a list of the best books to read this summer. Just for you! We have discussed it amongst ourselves, talked to our librarians (you know, the people with the BEST JOB IN THE WORLD), asked for advice at bookstores and scoured online lists. From these we were able to compile a list of the most recommended to read this summer. You don t actually have to read them ALL this summer (but we know you want to). We also came across some of the most popular books on the must read lists of all time. And then that got the Editor (that s me!) thinking about what her favourite books are. So then we just felt that we HAD TO give you a couple of bonus lists. In the end we ended up with three reading lists: EXCITE S Summer 2017 Reading List Must Read Books of All Time Tiziana s Favourite Books We hope that you have the most wonderful time exploring new pages! ENGAGE WITH US Whenever you finish any of the books on our lists, we would love to hear what you thought about them so let us know at excitedigitalmag@yahoo.com.
