Q: School is out! What is your favorite Summer Reading book??
Oh gosh... this is a toughie. Its gonna start getting old if every answer I have to everything is Harry Potter, though I do clearly remember the last time I read HP before I finished the series last year was one of my middle school summer vacations. I hadn't done that well in school, so apparently my mother thought making me read was a punishment. I got halfway through HP and the Order of the Phoenix before my mom retracted my punishment and let me play outside. Good times though!
I never had assigned reading during the summer. Is that weird? I know many, many kids grew up every summer having choices from a list of books and having to read so many of them, but I never did. I grew up in Long Island, New York, and then when we moved to Pennsylvania, I was 17 and out of high school. My sister went to high school a few years later and they had summer reading lists every year. Ha-Ha! I got off easy. I'm not sure what it was about Long Island or maybe just the school I went to, but it never happened. Go Central Islip!! :)
Summer also makes me think of romance novels. I used to be huge on romance, and summer is just so light and fun and romances are such easy reads for me, even when they are full of gratuitous sex and tragedy. It just seems like it all goes together, haha.
So I guess other than Harry Potter, I don't have a favorite summer reading book, per say, just general things I like to read. How about you? What's your favorite summer reading book?
A.
I'm with you... I was homeschooled ago never had a "summer reading list"...

Our kids don't have summer reading either (except AP Lit kids.) I could always use a summer to read HP again! Great idea. Thanks for visiting. New follower (Feedly, RSS)

Ha, living in Germany, we don't even have summer reading lists anywhere here :) Wasn't necessary for me, either, because I'd chosen reading over pretty much everything else every summer since I could read :) Mhm, you just reminded me that during my summers, I used to read and reread the HP books a LOT, too :) Still love them SO much :) And while I've shied away from romance (until now) I always chose YA contemporary books every year! Thanks for following, I'll make sure to follow back via RSS
