Summer Reading List

Normally school and work take up so much of my time, that any free time I have is devoted to TV, or movies, or the internet. With only 2 finals to prepare for, no homework, and a super light work schedule, I have a lot more free time. And I've found that I'm bored with TV and the internet. So I decided to start on my summer reading list. Beginning with re-reading The Three Musketeers. I'd forgotten how witty it is. There are some really good lines that seem to come out of no where and surprise you. Anyway....for those of you looking for ideas for your own reading list, here's mine. I can't guarantee that they're good since I haven't read them, but I'll keep you posted!

  • My Name Used to be Muhammad by Tito Momen and Jeff Benedict
  • I am Number Four, Pittacus Lore
  • Water for Elephants, Sara Gruen
  • Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth Gilbert
  • The Essentials of Business Etiquette: How to Eat, Greet, and Tweet Your Way to Success, Barbara Pachter
  • The Judgment of Paris, Ross King
  • How to Be Interesting, Jessica Hagy
  • Death Comes to Pemberley, P.D. James
  • Entwined, Heather Dixon
  • Stardust, Neil Gaiman
  • A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L'Engle
  • The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton
  • The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery
  • Divergent, Veronica Roth
  • Twilight series, Stephenie Meyer
  • The Mortal Instruments series, Cassandra Clare


I'm trying to get a good mix of genres, as well as contemporaries and classics. I've also added a few non-fiction/self-help which I've never really been interested in before but thought I'd give them a shot. I've already read Twilight and Mortal Instruments, but I'm throwing them in because I love them. :)

  1. Have you read the Infernal Devices? It's just like the Mortal Instruments but 200 years or so beforehand? I really liked that series. So, if you haven't read it, I suggest that before rereading Mortal Instruments. Yep.
