Top Five Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by GingerReadsLainey and Sam from Thoughts On Tomes over on Goodreads. This week’s topic is top 5 rainy day reads. Appropriate, considering it rains about twice or more daily in Florida during the summer! (Seriously. It sucks. I live so far south that it’s not even considered sub-tropical but actual tropical. Help me.)

A little out of the season for rain (snow would probably be better!), but Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Leviathan is a super easy read and pretty darn cute to boot.

You probably won’t read it in a single day, but Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell is another good contemporary option for a rainy day!

I never hear anything about this book, and I wish I heard more. Chime by Franny Billingsley is a very different book, and not only is the setting really my cup of tea, the writing style is so fun. Plus, look at this cover! I love it.

Another book I never hear about is a personal favorite of what must be five years now, and that is The Splendor Falls by Rosemary Clement-Moore. I seriously need to do a re-read of this one (Goodreads! Add a re-read option PLEASE!), because I want to know if I’m still so in love with the story and the setting as I was way back when. I hope I am.

I don’t even need to say anything, this one is just a straight-up given. Harry Potter forever and always. The nostalgia is the key.
And that’s my top 5 Wednesday for the week! Thanks for reading!

I’ve read both Fangirl and Harry Potter (which, in all honesty, is probably perfect no matter the circumstances) and totally agree that they would be perfect! Great choices. I love a good contemporary on a rainy day 🙂

I LOVE Chime! You’re right, it’s super under-appreciated! And I want a re-read option on Goodreads so badly!
