Summer Reading



I finally finished my semester!  Two semesters down... I have NO clue how many left to go.  I finally have some free time again.  Tonight was the first night when I was sitting there and realized... I don't have anything I have to do.  I decided that this summer I want to read a lot.  Read at the gym (which i WILL be going to a lot), read at the beach (also will be a frequent stop for my Mazda),  read on a house boat at lake powell etc... you get the point.  

Anyway... I need suggestions of books to read.  So to my faithful blog stalkers... its time to actually make some comments.  I know you all have a favorite book.  What is it? What should be on my summer reading list?

If you haven't read My Sister's Keeper, you should, before they make a movie out of it. It was really good. Also, the Glass Castle, if you haven't read it, it's fab. Other than that, I am such a nerd, I read biographies.

I'm afraid I'm an even bigger nerd, because I love adolescent lit. They're easy reads, entertaining and always have some amazing lesson to teach me. Some of my favorite classic books that I read at least once a year are:

"Anne of Green Gables" (did you know they have 8 books in the series...and they're ALL good!)by L.M. Montgomery, "Ella Enchanted" by Gail Carson Levine, "The Sherwood Ring" by Elizabeth Pope, "The Perilous Guard" also by Elizabeth Pope, "Esperanza Rising" by Pam Munoz Ryan, "The Blue Sword" by Robin McKinley (any of her stuff is amazing!), "Sorcery and Ceclia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot" by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer (a really funny story that began as the two authors wrote letters back and forth to each other), and lastly my all time new favorite triliogy "The Goose Girl", "Enna Burning", and "River Secrets" by Shannon Hale. (A BYU graduate student)

Probably WAY more info than you needed, but I love reading and I hope you'll find the time you're looking for this summer to enjoy yourself. You're beautiful April!
