Summer is coming up and I have two weeks off from school due to Covid-19 so I figured I'd gather a list of things I'd like to read! How wrogn I was, I had the rest of the school year at home and did absolutely no reading. I've read five books within a month (3 this week) though so I guess I'm gettign back into it

I'm open to any and all suggestions, just leave the title and a little description and I'll consider it

- Current List -
-- my heart and other black holes
-- a list of cages
-- all the bright places
-- to kill a mockingbird
-- pride and prejudice
-- the catcher in the rye
-- the title got censored but it's the whale one :P
-- little women
-- the picture of dorian gray
-- of mice and men
-- a tale of two cities
-- the scarlet letter
-- the grapes of wrath
-- emma
-- the secret garden I just realized I read this in 5th grade but I'd like to reread it
-- ziggy stardust and me
-- navigating early



I really wanna read some classics but I also like the sad books

Also, I'll ad some suggestions in case anyone wants any!
Still in progress because I have drawers of books to read the backs of to remember what happened in them

-- The Scourge really dramatic, I don't really know how to describe it because I read it in fourth grade
-- Between Shades of Gray Made me cry, I don't recommend reading in class unless you know you won't cry. Set during World War II
-- A Night Divided Really good book, full of action and suspense. Set during World War II
-- Chime Made me cry; also very suspenseful
-- Legend
-- The Wind In The Willows I'm embarrassed to say I haven't actually read more than a chapter in this book but from what I had read it's really good
-- The Left Behind series Religion based, I didn't think I'd like them but I'm on the 8th book of the series already
-- One For Sorrow Oh my gosh, 10/10 would recommend! Set in an older time (1918) and talks about the deadly Spanish influenza pandemic
-- The Book of Blood and Shadow VERY SUSPENSEFUL
-- Grenade I cried, you might cry. Yet another World War II book
-- First Light If you like The Giver you'll like this. No questions asked
-- The One and Only Ivan This one is more for kids but it impacted me so much
-- The Giving Tree Did you have a childhood if you havent read this?
-- Where the Sidewalk Ends see above
-- Wine To Water I forgot a lot about this book but it was a gift and I know the book made me cry at least once
-- The Boy Who Dared Again, a World War II book. The main character is not a Jew which is uncommon for these books, I think
-- Destined To Live Written by a holocaust survivor. Set in WWII; made me cry
-- Projekt 1065 Set in guess where! World War II. Super sneaky spy stuff, very nice but emotional
--City of Ghosts Paranormal stuff, very interesting
-- Time Bomb Definitely made me cry, really interesting topic actually. You guys thought it wouldn't be another WWII book didn't you? Well it's set a few years after and is tied in with WWII so you thought wrong
-- The Darkest Hour Another World War II book, about girls fighting to take Hitler down
-- Making Bombs For Hitler ANOTHER WWII BOOK. My friend and I swear it's a good book though. We might have an obsession with history...
-- The Witch of Blackbird Pond Really suspenseful and, yet again, is based in the past
-- Distant Waves A book on the Titanic, yet another historic book. I love it though ^-^
-- The Lightning Queen Don't get me started. It made me cry the majority of my time reading it. It ruined me but is such a wonderful read. The ending had me sobbing
-- Shadow
-- The Hired Girl Based off of the author's grandmother's journal; makes me want to travel back in time
-- A Northern Light Set in the early 1900s, deals with murder and is suspenseful
-- The Outside Paranormal activity (Vampires) and a girl who was shunned from her Amish community
-- Winterling Action packed
-- Hollow City You know the movie about Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children? Yep
-- Everlost From when I was obsessed with paranormal activity type stuff. Two kids stuck in limbo after dying in a car crash
-- Counting By 7s
-- Inside Out and Back Again
-- The Hate U Give The way I gasped when I finally understood what the title meant, oh man. Made me cry as well, 10/10
--

I see that you're into the originals like me:) but i also have found a fantasy series by Aprilyn Pike that i ABSOLUTELY LOVE. I also just read a book called Ziggy Stardust And Me. Totally recommend (i cried during both the series and the stand alone book)

Is it possible to want to read every suggestion that you listed? Of Mice and Men I'd say was a worthwhile read, ping me once you have! Also going to be reading a few titles of your list soon by coincidence, can't wait to get started.

I'd recommend Night by Elie Wiesel, it's his memoir of being a Jew during the Holocaust. My description sounds boring but it's just ahhh I can't explain it. I'd recommend it to anyone with an interest in reading but especially you. I finished it cover to cover in one go because I was so engaged by it.

Ooo I actually think I've read that one before!
I'll probably read of mice and men over the summer but you never know

Even better! I have to kill a mockingbird in my backpack and now that theres like a month off due to corona time to get cozy. Really want to read pride and prejudice and the scarlet letter thoughgoing to make it happen!

Lord of the rings?

Wings of Fire?
Wings of Fire is a series of fantasy novels written by Venezuelan-American author Tui T. Sutherland. The novels are set in the fictional dragon-inhabited continents of Pyrrhia and Pantala, and chronicle the quests of young dragons to fulfill prophecies.

I'm waiting on a few because I don't know if I'l read them in high school or not (the catcher in the rye specifically) but I'm still working on reading the left behind series

My classmate is reading it; she says she doesn't enjoy it very much.

I think I've tried to read it before but it hasn't quite grabbed my attention
