Mrs. Bross (Fellow freshmen English teacher) found a great list on Amazon called "100 Books Everyone Should Read in a Lifetime." That list can be found here. She is challenging her students to take a look at the list and pick a book from the list that they have not already read and choose that for independent reading this tri.
So I checked out the list. I guess I have to give a shout-out to Ursuline Academy and my high school English teachers, as they more than helped in crossing a number of these off the list for me. I made it to 34 on the Amazon list and 49 on the Goodreads list (there are two separate lists). Pretty proud of myself, but would have been happier with a solid 50. I guess I have a challenge for myself too.
All of you have at least one you can cross off the list: Fahrenheit 451!
There are a lot of great suggestions for reading and I urge you to at least look at the list and see how many you've read and see if there are any you might want to read. Some of my personal faves from the list include: The Book Thief, The Giver (soon to be a movie if you didn't know), and Gone Girl. All are extremely well-written and grab you in as a reader. Have a wonderful spring break!
