Summer Reading?
Ok so Aaron and I were talking the other night about the summer. He's decided that he's probably going to take some classes over the Spring/Summer terms, which has made me decide that I need some awesome things to occupy my evenings when he has to be working on homework. I've been gradually acquiring scrapbooking supplies, and I have tons of sewing projects in mind that I'd love to work on. But I also want to do a lot of reading. I read a lot for school, but with the exception of Lord of the Rings this semester, my school reading has never been really FUN reading. So I'm going to start a book list of things I want to read this summer. I'm open to any and all suggestions, so please let me know if you've found something great!

You listed many GREAT books! "The Hunger Games" is fantastic and so is the second one, "Catching Fire." I believe the third book will be out the end of this summer! You NEED to read those! So good!
Also, read "The Help"...it's amazing. You will love it.
And, if you have time, here are a couple more books that are good reads:
-The Alchemist
-The Last Lecture
-Have a Little Faith
Check out goodreads.com for book lists and reviews! It's a very good website and you can keep up with what friends are reading too.
Good luck! I love summer reading, well reading in general! Yay!
Yay for Percy Jackson!!! (Don't watch the movie to compare - they are way different)
If you haven't read them before, I recommend books by Shannon Hale (specifically Princess Academy and Goose Girl).
Oooo! I thought of another you might like!
The Host
Its by Stephanie Myer and is SOO much better than her Twilight Saga!
A Walk to Remember and The Notebook are good (The notebook has alot of initmate parts :S) but My favourite books by Nicolas Sparks are Dear John, and The Last Song, they are easy reads but really good. The Last song is my favorite out them all.
