I officially finished school today (yay!) and now I have lots of time to read all the books I want to! I love to read -- I've been known to go through between two and three books a week over the summer! Here's the first five books I'm going to tackle with my newfound free time!
The first book I plan to read is Being Friends with Boys by Terra Elan McVoy. According to Goodreads (a website I highly recommend to anyone who likes to read), it's about the drama that unfailingly follows that girl who is only friends with boys. Ever since I was thirteen, I've one or a few guys that I feel like I could talk to about anything. That's not to say I don't have girlfriends -- I definitely do! -- I'm just also comfortable with boys, and I like being friends with them.
Second is The A Circuit by Georgina Bloomberg, the author of Gossip Girl. It looks almost exactly like Gossip Girl, which I loved, but set against the world of competitive horse showing. I have been showing horses on the hunter-jumper circuit since I was ten years old, and it's something I really love doing. The A Circuit will satisfy my chick-lit guilty pleasure and my horse-crazy side all in one story!
My third book I've already read once, but I love it so much I just have to read it again. Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell is probably the most iconic Southern novel ever written, and, as y'all know, I love the South. When I was little, I used to think I would grow up to become Scarlet -- now I think I'll be Melanie instead!
I promised my best friend, Taylor, that I would make time to read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It's apparently the "best book you'll ever read," but it sounds really depressing, so I'm not sure how much I'll like it. Still, I did promise her, so maybe it'll surprise me.
Finally, in honor of the release of The Great Gatsby (which is awesome, by the way -- Leo is way hot as Jay Gatsby) I want to read Vixen by Lila Fine, which follows three girls in the high society of the Roaring Twenties. I always love a little scandal...
I can't wait to get started on my summer reading, especially since, for the first time ever, I don't have any required books disrupting my fun! It may be a while until I can get started, though, since I still have 800 pages left in the last Game of Thrones story, A Dance With Dragons.
What other books am I missing on my summer reading list?
XO,
Carson
