Road Trip Wednesday #1 Best Book in July

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.

ScarletThis Weeks Question is: What was the best book you read in July?

This is a hard one, really hard. But I have to say that the best book I read in July would be Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen.  I would highly reccommend this book to anyone who loves any kind of fiction and loves a good spinoff of an old fairytale. Actually- Here is the Goodreads Summary:

Many readers know the tale of Robin Hood, but they will be swept away by this new version full of action, secrets, and romance.

Posing as one of Robin Hood’s thieves to avoid the wrath of the evil Thief Taker Lord Gisbourne, Scarlet has kept her identity secret from all of Nottinghamshire. Only the Hood and his band know the truth: the agile thief posing as a whip of a boy is actually a fearless young woman with a secret past. Helping the people of Nottingham outwit the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham could cost Scarlet her life as Gisbourne closes in.

It’s only her fierce loyalty to Robin—whose quick smiles and sharp temper have the rare power to unsettle her—that keeps Scarlet going and makes this fight worth dying for.

    Thanks, Josie. I just got a sample of Scarlet. I thought I already had because I'm a big Robin Hood fan, but I couldn't find it on my Kindle.
