Just Because I'm Curious...

Summer 2013: My first summer off as an actual teacher.

I'm taking a college-credit class this summer that focuses on Young Adult Literature and Censorship, and reading is a huge part of that class.  In addition, I borrowed a ton of books from my school's library AND friends dumped piles of books on me. 

I may not read all of these books; in fact, I'm not sure I expect to, because it might kill me.  But nevertheless, I want to know how many of them I actually get through -- even if I never get around to blogging about all of them.  

So here's the list:
  1. The Pigman by Paul Zindel
  2. Come Juneteenth by Ann Rinaldi
  3. Jaws by Peter Benchley
  4. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
  5. Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Aron Ralston
  6. A Swift Pure Cry by Siobhan Dowd
  7. A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
  8. Lockdown by Walter Dean Myers
  9. Forever ... by Judy Blume
  10. Push by Sapphire
  11. The Compound by S.A. Bodeen    
  12. Inexcusable by Chris Lynch
  13. TTYL by Lauren Myracle
  14. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
  15. Feed by M.T. Anderson  
  16. Shattering Glass by Gail Giles
  17. The Fault in Our Stars by John Greene    
  18. Five Flavors of Dumb by Antony John
  19. Fun Home by Alison Bechdel
  20. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
  21. Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke
  22. The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
  23. World War Z by Max Brooks      
And that's my whole summer. Between the end of May and the beginning of August, I read 23 books. I started a 24th -- so close to 25, which would have been awesome.
