What's on Your List for Summer?

Let me know what you plan on reading this summer! 

Here is my VERY long list of books that I hope to read this summer. However, most of these books are not at the library, so I'm sure it'll change.  Most of these are young adult as I usually try to "catch up" on the newest books so that I can booktalk in the fall.  There will be "adult" books scattered through the blog, though.

Currently Reading: Maze Runner by James Dashner (This is the author that came speak to our 7th graders last year... pretty cool!)

1. Lost Symbol by Dan Brown (I read Angels and Demons when I was first started dating my husband; this was the book that helped to coin title "Reading Maching." )
2. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first book in the series.  GREAT MYSTERY!)
3. Bewitching Season by Marissa Doyle
4. The Great Wide Sea by M. H. Herlong
5. The Juvie Three by Gordon Korman
6. Stolen by Vivian Vande Velde
7. Airhead by Meg Cabot
8. A Curse Dark as Gold by Elizabeth Bunce
8. Fire by Kristin Cashore (Graceling is the first book in this "series."  It is fantasy, but if you LOVE fantast, you will LOVE this book.)
9. Schooled by Gordon Korman
10. Does My Head Look Big in This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah
11. Twisted by Lauren Halse Anderson
12. Mistik Lake by Martha Brooks
13. Forgive my Fins by Tera Lynn Childs
14. The Dead Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan  ( This is a companion to The Forest of Hands and Feet referred to in my last post)
15. Bad Girls Don't Die by Katie Alender


I am patiently waiting for Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins to come out on August 24th .  I will stop all reading to read this book.
