Today is the last day of school! Yippee! One of the things I like best about summer vacation is lots of uninterrupted time for reading! I already have a stack of books and I can't wait to get started. Since I teach the classics from British literature during the school year, I decided to spend the summer reading contemporary British authors and I found a great list here. I will be reading White Teeth by Zadie Smith, The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters, The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware, Little Bee by Chris Cleave, Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes, The Girl Next Door by Ruth Rendell, and Me Before You by JoJo Moyes (I will probably start with Me Before You because I want to read it before the movie comes out next week) and I will review each book here every Friday. You can join me and let me know what you think of each book in the comments. Yay for summer reading!
I read Me Before You on my flights to and from Seattle! I wanted to read it before the movie, as well. I thought it was lovely. :)
