Summer Reading List

Summer is upon us and that means it’s time for my annual Summer Reading List—yes! It’s exciting… almost as exciting as the Books-A-Million Summer Sale. (Seriously, if you love reading and haven’t been, go! You can find some true gems).

I picked a list of thirteen titles. I like to dabble in a little of everything—classics, trashy young adult series, satire, historical, fiction, books that make you think— so I picked a little of everything. I’ll keep you posted along the way with some personal reviews.

A few rules. If I start something, and don’t really like it, I can move onto another book. The novels can be read in any order, and if I don’t finish all of the titles by the end of summer, they’ll roll-over onto my fall list.

So… here it goes:

1. Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk

2. The Fifty Shades of Grey Series by E.L. James

3. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

4. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

5. Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel

6. A Charmed Life by Eliza Campbell

7. Flapper by Joshua Zeitz

8. The Bellwether Revivals by Benjamin Wood

9. Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell

10. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

11. Rules of Civility by Amor Towles

12. Good Without God by Greg M. Epstein

13. Fifth Avenue, 5 AM by Sam Wasson

Welcome! I'm Jaime, a 30-something girl living in New York City. Like one of my favorite heroines, Alice, I felt I'd lost my "muchness" when I first moved to NYC. This blog continues to help me find it. I hope you'll be a part of the adventure!
