CoaB's Summer Reading List

Okay, so in school we had summer reading lists...that usually came along with a project that had to be presented within the first couple weeks of school or a paper that was due like the first day or whatever. Thankfully, as an adult, the pressures of projects and things like that are off my shoulders so, I just get the joy of reading some really awesome books during the summer months.  Not all of them are new titles, and some of them are titles that have been on my Kindle for a bit now that I've been meaning to get to.  They even have their own category on my Kindle, specifically for this project!  I'm even going to attempt to get the reviews up in a timely manner to!  YAY for planning and being all adulty and stuff! 

Now, keep in mind that this list doesn't include any books that are set at as July's TBR (usually library books and a bit of carry over from June if any).  

1. Recurve - Shannon Mayer

2. A Court of Thorns and Roses - Sarah J. Maas

3. The Clockwork God - Jamie Sedgwick

4. A Darker Shade of Magic - V.E. Schwab

5. House of Royals - Keary Taylor

6. Never Never: Part One - Colleen Hoover

7. Fractured Fairy Tales - Various Authors 

8. Hopeless - Colleen Hoover

What are some books you are trying to tackle this summer? 

#TBT: High School Reading List

I think I might have been the only one that was absolutely thrilled and  excited to get the reading list every year for my English classes.  Why? Because it meant a trip to the bookstore to buy my favorite thing on the planet, MORE BOOKS!  Because I needed them, wanted them, and would own a copy of all the books I wanted to read on that list. 

I know it usually said we only had to read one or two books to fill the requirement, but I usually picked about 3-4 books and read all of them throughout the summer.  I absolutely loved all of them.  Here are some of the ones that I read throughout my summer breaks in high school. 

These were just a few of the ones I've had to read.  However, looking at my old high school's current summer reading lists....damn I wish I was in HS now! I know exactly which ones I'd read! 

Here are the reading lists for my current high school for the 2015-2016 school year, where the projects are due the 1st day of school:

The projects are awesome too...ranging from create a movie poster, a book jacket, a book journal, for the regular English class to create a book talk, a soundtrack, and other awesome projects for the Honors English.  Seriously, what the hell...can I please be back in HS nao! Though to be honest, some of these are already on my TBR list...and my wish list over at bookdepository :D
