6. Make a summer book list
Jun. 30th, 2025 09:24 pm
Item 6: Make a summer book listThe first item I want to (sort of) tick of the bucket list is my summer reading! I'm going to be straight up, I won't be picking much deep stuff, I just want to have fun with my reading this summer. I usually read a lot of non-fiction so I've been craving some nostalgic fictional stories.
1. Circle Of Magic 2: Tris' Book by Tamora Pierce
Sometime about two years ago I got really into Circle of Magic after I finished the first book. I hadn't the chance to continue the series until now. I'm really excited to finish the whole thing and maybe read more of Tamora Pierce's work.
2. Rumble Fish by S.E. Hinton
I finished The Outsiders and That Was Then, This Is Now earlier this spring and I loved both so I'm going to read everything S.E. Hinton has written now I think.
3. The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares
I liked the movie so I think I'm probably gonna enjoy the books too. Plus it's like the only book actually set in the summer. I just want that 2000s shit right now.
4. Whip It/ Derby Girl by Shauna Cross
I heard the book isn't really good but it's one of my fave movies of all time so I want to give it a chance.
5. Notes To Boys by Pamela Ribon
I'm not sure how crazy I will be about this one (ew boys!! joking) but I really like Pamela Ribon so I wanna see how her fiction stuff goes.
6. The Tail of Emily Windsnap (Re-read) by Liz Kessler
I'm crazy about mermaids and I loved this book as a kid. I don't remember how far I got in the series so I think I'll re-read it this summer and try to get as far as I can into the books. I guess this one's kind of summer-themed.
7. Jedi Quest: Path to Truth by Jude Watson
I'm a huge Star Wars fan (pre-Disney, but I will allow Andor a pass) and I always wanted to read these books but I could never find them when I was a kid. Well Im a grown ass adult so it's time to finally get through these middle grade books.
8. Masters of Atlantis by Charles Portis
I really liked Norwood, Portis is a funny guy. This one called out to me strongest from his bibliography.
If the reading goes well I may add some more books but so far this is it. They're all pretty short so I think I'll be able to actually read them this summer instead of starting and then forgetting about them for months.
