Summer Reading List

Hello all! I know I haven't posted much lately, but I promise, the next book review (Eclipse By: Stephanie Meyer) will be up shortly. Until then I thought I'd post what I'd like to try to read this summer:
Breaking Dawn-Stephanie Meyer
The Book of Dave-Will Self
The City of Ember-Jeanne DePrau
The People of Sparks-Jeanne DePrau
The Prophet of Yonwood-Jeanne DePrau
Voices From the Stree-Phillip K. Dick
The Butt-Will Self
The Book of Lost Things-John Connolly
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime-Mark Haddon
'Salem's Lot-Stephen King
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil-John Berendt
Interview With the Vampire-Anne Rice
The Talisman-Stephen King and Peter Straub
Black House-Stephen King and Peter Straub
Eragon-Christopher Paolini
Eldest-Christopher Paolini
Brisngr-Christopher Paolini
The Keys to the Kingdom Series-Garth Nix
The Life od Pi-Yann Martel
The Phantom Tollbooth-Norton Juster
The Tale of Despereaux-Kate DiCamillo
The Schwa was Here-Neal Shusterman
The End of Mr. Y-Scarlett Thomas
Lisey's Story-Stephen King
The Giver-Lois Lowry
Gathering Blue-Lois Lowry
Messenger-Lois Lowry
A Series of Unfortunate Events-Lemony Snicket
The Chronicles of Narnia-C.S. Lewis
A Fine Dark line-Joe R. Lansdale
Gone-Michael Grant


Now, I know that this list alone looks excesive, but you also have to figure in that I didn't put the "series" books in. The Keys to the Kingdom consists of seven books, as does The Chronicles of Narnia. A Series of Unfortunate Events is comprised of thirteen. So, my list is 54 books long. I've also sorted them (on a seperate piece of paper) into what's top priority and what's not, because many of these books, I would just like to re-read.
If you've read any of these books, tell me your opinion of them int the comments below. Thanks!

They should each have an orange square with three white stripes inside next to them. Well with those you can subscribe to our posts and our comments, using almost any service you could think of. Also, if you are a Blogspot user, or have a Google account, you can follow our blog (please do!)!

One other way to navigate. Underneath every post there are tags, if you click on of those tags, it shows you every post with that tag as well. So, if you want to see all the book reviews on the blog, click the "book review" tag and you can!

P.S. Comment if you want! It's open to everybody and I'm sure everybody would enjoy your feedback on their work.
