    Thanks for this blog hop :) My favorite summer reads range from historical fictions by Philippa Greggory or cozy mysteries, romance contemporaries. I'm diverse in my reading so reading is definitely important to me especially during summer during break :)

    A favorite summer pastime is cooking with the fresh bounty of summer. Food just tastes better during the summertime.

    I love to get together with family and friends on the weekends having a BBQ, a few drinks for the adults, and just have a good time. After everything is done I get to go home a curl up with a good book in bed.

    I love reading regency romances during summers. Another pastime of mine is actually baking...tarts especially. I do love raspberry tarts and summer is the best season for fresh raspberries <3

    thanks for the giveaway.

    My favorite summer reads are actually my re-reads: Lord of the Rings, Watership Down, Eight Cousins, Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey. They remind me of when I first read them and are a source of nostalgia for me.

    Well, obviously, my favorite pastime for any season is reading. ;) But I also really enjoy getting out & about with my camera to photograph flowers and such.
    As for a favorite summer read... I am looking forward to quite a few books this summer; no way I could pick a favorite. ;)

    I like to read suspense romance and cozy mysteries in the summer. I set up my outdoor office, work on my computer for a while and then read. When I get hot, I jump in the pool for awhile and then get out and read some more.
    Have a lovely holiday weekend:)

    During the summer, I look forward to catching up on my fun reading. My favorites include sweet historical & western romances. However, as long as it's a sweet / clean read, I'll probably enjoy it.

    I have to admit I don't read much during summer because it's vacations so I go out with friends almost everyday. But in this part of the world is almost winter, enjoy your summer-time. ;)

    I love reading poolside. When it gets too hot, you can jump in. It is perfection! As for what I read during the summer, it is as varied as it is the rest of the year. I get in moods. I might read contemporary, high fantasy, or comics. Depends on the day!

    It would be hard to say a favorite read because I read all the time and go from book to book. I have read and reviewed almost 300 books this year. I read every single day, even on vacation. Summer pastime, would be picking and enjoying fresh from the garden. Also I enjoy canning.

    I love spending my Summer in my gazebo surrounded by nature; bright blue skies, birds chirping, and flowers all around! Of course, reading a lovely sweet romance goes hand in hand with this relaxing Summer vibe.

    I live in Florida, so I read on the beach as much as possible....as for fave Summer reads.....I'm not a "seasonal" reader...so what I read would depend on what I feel like reading when I'm standing in front of my bookshelves deciding on my next read.

    Thanks for the amazing giveaway!
