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:
- The Pigman by Paul Zindel
- Come Juneteenth by Ann Rinaldi
- Jaws by Peter Benchley
- The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
- Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Aron Ralston
- A Swift Pure Cry by Siobhan Dowd
- A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
- Lockdown by Walter Dean Myers
- Forever ... by Judy Blume
- Push by Sapphire
- The Compound by S.A. Bodeen
- Inexcusable by Chris Lynch
- TTYL by Lauren Myracle
- Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
- Feed by M.T. Anderson
- Shattering Glass by Gail Giles
- The Fault in Our Stars by John Greene
- Five Flavors of Dumb by Antony John
- Fun Home by Alison Bechdel
- Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
- Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke
- The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
- 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.
