Splish Splash Blog Bash: Summer Reads

Before you read my list, let me just tell you: I'm an English teacher, and yes, I know I have a very eclectic selection of books! What other collection has vampires, bullying and heaven all in one list? :)

So here we go:

MY FAVORITE SUMMER READS:

PAST:
  The Hunger Games Trilogy – seriously, get on it! 

Heaven is for Real - by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent

This book is about a 4 year old who goes to heaven while on the operating table and retells his story to his parents.

PRESENT:

How We Love Our Kids - By Milan and Kay Yerkovich

Organization books and magazines {because 1. I need it and 2. It’s what my book club is reading.} :)

FUTURE:

Some books I would like to read this summer are:

ABRAHAM LINCOLN - VAMPIRE HUNTER, by Seth Grahame-Smith – seriously! A friend let me borrow this and said it is better than it sounds. I’m hoping it’s one of those books that are surprisingly good!

This version:

 And not this one. ;-)

also:

Out of My Mind - by Sharon M. Draper {A book about bullying. It's juvenile  fiction, but still looks good.}

The Marriage Bargain - by Jennifer Probst. This one is about a billionaire who arranges a one-year marriage contract with a book store owner who needs the money for her struggling business. {Hey, a girl can dream right?} lol

See? Eclectic!! BUT I am a firm believer in 2 things:

1. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU READ, as long as you are reading!!! And you owe it to your imagination:

And 2. Reading seriously improves your mind. So turn off that TV and read a book! Trust me -- and this poster:

Hee hee! So sad... you wouldn't want that to happen to YOUR books would you?

So, spill it! What are your favorite summer reads? I would love to add more books to my list!!! :D
