My first free week of the summer I read during nearly every waking minute. I inhaled words from pages, spending my mornings and afternoons reading and reading and reading until my eyes started to cross and I had to look up to take a breath. It was lovely. Now, though, normal life is in session, and although I'm reading less, it's still so much more than I get to during the school year.
I committed to reading 10 books this summer, not too much of a challenge but enough to make me focused. Then I added another book, so now I've committed to reading 11.
Here it is, my Summer 2012 Reading List, in no particular order:
The Help: This was my first book of the summer, a true gem. Read what I said about it here.
House Rules: My second summer read wasn't quite as poignant as the first, but it wasn't really intended to be. Here's what I thought about it.
Eat to Live: In Progress. . .
Anthem These three books are on
The Alchemist supplemental reading list for
Alas Babylon my students. I inherited the
list, and since I haven't read
most of the books, I figured it
was time to get started.
To Kill a Mockingbird: I've read this book twice already--once in high school and another time three days before the school year started and I was to teach the novel. I think I need a slower read through before I tackle it again this year.
The Hunger Games
Catching Fire I know. I'm behind.
Mockingjay
The Poisonwood Bible: This book was recommended to me by a college professor, so I bought it but haven't ever picked it up. I'm starting it today!
Happy Reading!
