Every summer I decide to read a lot of different books. I usually start many of them and finish the easy ones. Here is a partial list for this summer:
1) David Copperfield (It's my summer classic...it was my summer classic from a few summers ago. I finally got past the first chapter)
2) The Percy Jackson series - it's a series of books that mixes a little bit of Harry Potter with Greek mythology.
3) Conspiracy in Kiev - a suspense novel
4) Something Borrowed - no comment
5) Miss Match - see above
6) Things Not Seen - a junior novel about a kid who just turns invisible one day.
7) Gone with the Wind - a perennial on my list because I once did a book report on it with out actually reading it and I've felt guilty ever since. One day I will finish it.
8) Midnight in Madrid - the sequel to Conspiracy in Kiev
9) Broken Angel - a loan from my dad
10) Turning the Paige - a sequel to another CCRN I read this year.
11) The Secret Life of Bees - on loan from Hannah
12) Breakfast at Tiffany's - ibid
13) Sovay - a robin hood story only with a girl
14) Life of Pi - on loan from Jane
15) The Abolition of Man by CS Lewis
16) Idols of the Heart - a great book so far about how we make other things gods in our lives
17) The Land - the is the sequel to Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry and the book that my students read for Academic Pentathlon.
18) Just Jane - a first-person telling of a Jane Austen pseudo-autobiography.
19) The Invisible Wall - Shannon Vincent loaned it to me and it will be depressing. I think I'll surround this one with very fluffy books.
20) Against All Odds - the heroes of Quantico series: FBI agents, romance, the ultimate in Cheesy Christian Romance Novels.
I've got a lot of reading to do. I bet that I'll not read half of them and then find some new series that I devour instead. I love summer reading!

The invisible kid one sounds fun! I definitely want to swipe that for a bit!
Just Jane= enh
Read it if you must, only to round out your collection of work on, about, and by our heroine.
