Remember summer reading from high school? That was weird. Because when it's 104 degrees, who doesn't love sitting by the pool reading Daisy Miller?
Real Summer Reading:
A Man on the Moon by Andrew Chaikin
Endurance by Alfred Lansing
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
Walking with the Great Apes by Sy Montgomery
anything by Carl Hiaasen
There will not be a quiz, but if you want to come over and talk about any of these books I will fill the blender with frozen watermelon and strawberries and keep the drinks coming.
It WAS weird. And the reason I was kicked out of honors english - failure to do my summer reading. Although, funnily enough I was moved out of honors and into LEAP which meant an "iffy" college credit to a college course so that worked out pretty well! ha! My 2015 summer reading: Wind in the Willows, anything Little House, Southern Living magazine, limitless children's books from the library, Team of Rivals (Abe Lincoln bio)
ReplyDeleteThe Westing Game! Such a fun book. If you ever want to talk about kids' books, we have eleventy hundred that we all like. Books are the best.
ReplyDeleteCan I just come for the drinks?
