Summer Reading List

As I’ve said before, I’m planning completely and shamelessly to devote a good portion of my summer this year to the wondrous world of fiction I’ve seen floating around tumblr and have been intent on investing myself in. I’ve got a pile of books in my room scowling to be read and a list of TV shows I’ve been adding to since January. It seems I’ll have a lot of things in which to review, and if not, to merely enjoy, curled up at home with.

I’ve listed books in previous posts that I’m dedicated to finishing for the 2013 Book Reading Challenge, so I might repeat myself here. Anyhow, I’m certainly determined to make my way through this list and finally seize the opportunity to get back into reading after my untimely separation from anything concerning free time activities, courtesy of those dreadful exams. (But no need to talk about them, right? They’re over, hallelujah.)

But, I digress. The books I am earnest to remove from their too-long stay on my shelf, waiting for this very opportunity, and the ones I’ve been lusting after for quite some time now include:

1. Hunger (Gone series) - Michael Grant
2. Divergent - Veronica Roth
3. An Abundance of Katherines - John Green
4. The Northen Lights - Phillip Pullman
5. The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson) - Rick Riordan
6. Anna and the French Kiss - Stephanie Perkins
7. The Book Thief - Mark Zusac

(I have a feeling this list is going to get considerably longer.) My main groove for the summer is starting a number of different series. I love becoming invested in characters and then being given story upon story in which to see them change and to understand them more, and, of course, to get more parts of a story that I love and not having it end completely after I turn the final page. Hopefully that’s where a number of these will lead me this summer. If anything, I’ll have a lot to keep me busy when laying in the sun (that is, if we have any.)
