Summer Reading

Three of my favorite things about being a teacher: June, July and August.  This summer I has quite a bit of time to do one of my favorite leisure actives... READ!

Here's what some of my summer reading list looked like..

 

Princess Academy was an adorable story about a girl who finds out who she really is.

Insurgent! If you haven't read the divergent series get started.. the final book of the trilogy comes out this spring.

 

June Bug and One, Two, Buckle my Shoe were both great mysteries.  I am really starting to love mystery novels.

 

The Secret Garden may have made my top 20 books list.  I absolutely LOVED it and the morals in it.

The Mysterious Benedict Society was also an awesome children's adventure!

I also finished off the Books of Bayern.  The Goose Girl and River Secrets were by far the best fairytales I've read, but the other two were quite slow and a little redundant.

I read a few more, but these are the ones I'd recommend to anyone.  Right now I'm reading The Poisonwood Bible which is HILARIOUS!! I can't wait to get back to reading it.  And I'm also currently reading Manhunt which is a history book about John Wilkes Booth.  It's fascinating and really makes me want to visit Washington D.C. so I can check out Ford's Theatre and all these places I'm reading about.

As Mark Twain once said, "The man who doesn't read has no advantage over the man who can't read."  So get Reading!
