Summer's Comin'

So what's on your summer to-read list? Mine is filled with books that I have seen come through the media center but students were too quick for me. 2 authors that have shown up on lists of adult books that young adults love are Nevada Barr and Laurie R. King. So I am giving them a try. Also I had a student recommend a classic by Upton Sinclair titled The Jungle. It supposedly turned the Meat processing industry on its head. Then because I am always intrigued by young people caught in country's in crisis, I am trying I Want To Live: The diary of a young girl in Stalin's Russia.

I have never been a real fan of science fiction or fantasy but Wicked Lovely and Revenge of the Witch (The Last Apprentice: Book One) have made best books lists. Lately the reworking of Fairy Tales has been popular and I have read the Dread Locks by Shusterman (Dark Fusion series) and Snow by Lynn (Once Upon a Time series), which I really enjoyed. So I plan to read The Looking Glass by Beddor about Alyss in Wonderland.

I'll let you know what I thought of them next year! In the mean time, update me with what you are planning.
