Some students dread the thought of summer reading. But for me one of my favorite springtime rituals is making the decision of what my summer reads will be. Around this time of year I start making my list and checking it twice. I also spend the first month of summer vacation taking a break from young adult literature. While I really do enjoy most of my school related reading, by the end of each school year I look forward to reading with some adult characters, themes or topics. So here is what I have so far:
I am not a fast reader at all so really this list is a little over-zealous for a month...but even if I do not get to all these books, I still like that luxurious feeling that I will be getting some down time to read early in the morning, at the pool and even on a hike, rather than right before bed when I get so tired that I fall asleep after five pages.
The kids and I also set aside some books for group reads and one on one reads.... But that will be for another day:)
So.... What do you think? If anyone has a suggestion of something else, please tell me. I love to hear about great reads.

Loved Gone Girl!!!
I loved Gone Girl too, Mindy Kaling wasn't as funny as I thought she would be. I may add a few of the others to my list. Just reread The Great Gatsby for book club, now I have to get to the movies. Hope all is well with you in your new home.
I know that you were looking for a break from YA. But I'm halfway through Between Shades of Grey (not to be confused with 50 Shades of Mommy Porn), and it is stunning.
