Summer Reading List


My goal for this summer is to read all the books I have been piling up on my bookshelf for over a year.


Here's the list:

Always Looking Up by Michael J Fox

True Believer by Nicholas Sparks

Losing Mum and Pup by Christopher Buckley

The Red Leather Diary by Lily Koppel

Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler
(I'm hoping it doesn't give me a headache like that last time I attempted to read it)
PS I Love You by Cecilia Ahearn
Jane Austen
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

Atonement by Ian McEwan
The Noticer by Andy Andrews


Are You There Vodka, It's Me, Chelsea? by Chelsea Handler

I also plan on listening to the 3 audio books I have collected over the year.

You'd think I'd be able to atleast listen to a book...

At First Sight by Nicholas Sparks

Alices Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

(Audiobook purchased because the narrator is the same guy that narrated Pushing Daisies... It's been 17 days, 9 hours, 54 minutes....)

Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson

So... If I actually accomplish my goal of reading all these books I will have like 2 books left and God knows I am not re-reading The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison again... Freshman Year- English 02- "Find the symbolism of the yellow flower growing in the cracks of the sidewalk." Um, okay, it's a dandelion, a weed, they grow, nothing else!!!! (Yeah that didn't go well...) I guess I'll have to start re-collecting... Have a great summer. READ A GOOD BOOK!!!
