Goodnight June by Sarah Jio

// This giveaway has ended. Please click HERE to see the winner on Rafflecopter. //

First of all, how much do you love this book cover? (I adore it.)

I’ve been anxiously awaiting Sarah Jio’s latest book, GOODNIGHT JUNE, which debuted this week, making it perfect for keeping me company while I’m laid up in bed recovering from having my tonsils removed. (Don’t mind that I can only read for about 10-seconds before all of these pain meds force my eyes closed!)

The way Sarah writes always enamors me. I fall in love with her characters, as flawed as they may be, and love how she connects the present with the past, linking in a bit of historical fiction throughout each novel in a new and interesting way.

Can’t wait to dig into your latest and greatest, Sarah!

And, of course, there can’t be a new Sarah Jio novel without a giveaway… The winner is free to pick a paperback copy or a Kindle edition.

Can’t wait for the giveaway to end to get your copy of GOODNIGHT JUNE? I confirmed that they do carry it locally at Village Books in Fairhaven (Sarah is a WWU alum!) or you can grab it on Amazon.

You can find Sarah Jio on her website, SarahJio.com, as well as on her author Facebook page and on Instagram, where she documents her life as an author and mom of three cute little ones.

Reading list: Summer book recommendations

4 Replies

I’ve been on a major reading spree lately. I have no idea why, but I’m loving it and busting through books like crazy. Here’s what I just finished reading and what’s coming up on my summer reading list. What are you reading right now? Any other suggestions?

The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Apparently everyone is obsessed with this Young Adult novel and there is a big movie coming out this summer. I liked it and it was a quick read, but I wasn’t insanely obsessed with it. Maybe because I’m not a 15-year-old girl? Worth reading, however.

The Night Circus

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

I know that I’m late reading this book — it came out in 2011 and it’s been on my to-read list ever since. It was dark and magical and mysterious. Despite thinking that the ending got a bit jumbled up, I enjoyed reading it and would recommended it. It’s a thick book and took a few weeks to wade through, so save this for when you know you can commit.

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling

This book is perfect, perfect, perfect summer reading, in my opinion. I finished it in a couple of days (she insists that you do in the opening chapter) and I thought it was relevant and funny, especially if you follow pop culture and celebrity life… or, if you’re simply a 30-something trying to figure out this crazy world.

Morning Glory by Sarah Jio

Morning Glory by Sarah Jio

I’ve been trying to catch up with my sweet friend Sarah’s novels, but she is writing them faster than I can read! I devoured Morning Glory, which is based on a Seattle houseboat and this was the first book of hers that I read where I was so completely lost in the book and the characters that I stopped hearing Sarah reading it to me in my head! Highly recommend this one for some beach reading this summer.

I just started The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty, on recommendation from my Seattle book club (who surprised and kidnapped me in Bellingham last weekend! it was sooo fun!).

What’s on your reading list this summer?
