Summer Reading List + TV

     Hello everyone! Sorry I am posting so late in the day, but I was quite busy this morning and didn't have time. I had to babysit at my cousin's fourth birthday party and then was off to work at the library. I have had a list for a while now of what I wanted to read this summer and was able to pick some things up today while I was there. I'm going into 9th grade and excel at reading and language, but during the summer I love to keep a few 6th grade reading level books on hand for the pool, beach, and my hammock. Here is what I'm going to read this summer:

1. It's Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han- I read The Summer I Turned pretty back in January and never got around to reading the next two of the trilogy.

2. We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han- this is the third one.

3. The Daughters by Joanna Philbin- I've heard this is really good!
4. Twelve by Lauren Myracle- this is from such a weird series but it's still so entertaining.....

5. Thirteen Plus One by Lauren Myracle- I read the book Thirteen first, then I'm going back to Twelve, then I'm reading Thirteen Plus One, which I'm sure you didn't guess comes after Thirteen. ;)

6. Bratfest At Tiffany's- the 9th book in the Clique Series. I just love the Clique, haha.

7. The Secret Identity of Devon Delaney- my friend said I would like this book, so I think I'll give it a try.

8. The People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks- Ugh. I have to read this over the summer for honors English. It was not my choice.


This is what I've decided to read so far. If I finish all of them then I will probably read the rest of the Clique series and The Daughters series. If you have any more fun book suggestions, then comment below!

I thought I would also share what TV shows I've been watching on Netflix lately and what I'll continue to be watching over the summer.

1. Make It Or Break It- this is probably my favorite show ever. I just love it so much. I think the reason why is because it has a good amount of drama, but it also has a message and you get so into the competition of the gymnastics. I watched the first two seasons last winter and I'm dying for season 3 to come out on Netflix.

2. Gossip Girl- This show is pretty amazing too and probably tied with MIOBI. It's so entertaining and for some reason I love the scenery and settings in NYC. And Blair and Serena's style is amazing!!!

3. 90210- this is the new version of the 90's show. In case you were wondering, 90210 is the zip code of Beverly Hills. I just started watching this a few weeks ago and so far I really like it.

4. Dance Academy- I only watch this show occasionally. It's more of something I watch when I'm bored or can't go to sleep. It's pretty funny though, but I don't LOVE it and probably wouldn't watch the whole season consistently.

5. Pretty Little Liars- they just put this out on Netflix and I know how much everyone raves about this show, so I thought I would try watching it this summer. I don't know how much I will like it, though. It seems depressing and usually I don't like things extremely mainstream.


I won't be watching tv all summer, though- I'd rather be reading! And I really don't watch that much tv anyway. :)


p.s. Like the new signature? :)
