Absolutely no way to catch up my blog...life got in the way of my posts...which is really what life is supposed to do: we celebrated birthdays, holidays, attended way too many sporting events, school events, church events and everything else you could think of. One big event was that my parents are here on a mission. They arrived in late January and will be here until sometime in 2013 (still to be determined). The whole family has enjoyed them being here and being able to spend time with us in the evenings and on the weekends. More on that in the future, I promise :)
So now for my summer reading list. I sure do love the library and the little bit of extra time I have in the summer to lose myself in a good book. Since it is already the end of June, this list is of books I have already read and books I hope to read before I go back to preschool and seminary. Here goes:
1. Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Stout
2. Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay
3. The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, and The Death Cure by James Dashner
4. The Sixth Wife by Suzannah Dunn
5. The Wives of Henry Oades by Johanna Moran
6. Extremely Loud and Incredible Close by Jonathan Foer
7. Turtle in Paradise by Jennifer L Holm
8. The One and Only Ivan by Kattherine Applegate
9. The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht
10. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

I am reading Turtle In Paradise right now. Not one of my favorites but a good, easy, read. Denae read The One and Only Ivan earlier this summer and loved it! She has a special place for animals in her heart and this book was special to her. It is so fun to see your 9 year old deep in a book, crying one second and giggling the next. I love that you post your summer reading list, if you have time please post again with a few reviews of that list. I am a slow reader and I don't have a lot of time to read so I don't read unless someone gives me a reccomendation.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool about your parents serving a mission close by! I hope you guys have a great summer!!!
Thanks for posting a summer reading list. I don't have much time for reading in the summer, but now I have some ideas for books to read when my boys go back to school and I have more time; especially now that Garrett will be in school too.
