What will you read these holidays?
I have a list so long it would take me longer than 2012 to get them all read. However these are the ones I intend reading over the summer holidays.
War Horse is the one I have started already, it is by Michael Morpurgo. It was first published in 1982. It is told from the horses point of view and is about a powerful friendship between an owner and his horse Joey. It takes place during World War 1.
The second one is Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz. I know this series has been popular with some of my students in the past so I want to find out what they like about it. It was published in 2000 so it has been around awhile.
Son of Neptune is next on my list. I read the first one earlier in the month and couldn’t resist buying this one while I was in the book shop. This belongs to the Heroes of Olympus second series. It was published in 2011.
This is a rather unusual book that I found out about from some teachers online. It is a rather large hardback and is a little different from most books. It contains two stories 50 years apart. One is told in words, the other pictures. They eventually link. That is all I know until I read it. Published in 2011.
I would also like but don’t yet have sitting beside me a few other books. One is a graphic novel that I have heard good things about. Anya’s Ghost by Vera Brosgol.
Our Only May Amelia by Jennifer Holm is the other book I would like to read when I get it. It was written a number of years ago, but the author has written a follow up just recently. So I will need to read this one first!
So…. how about you? What are your reading plans for the holiday break? I would love to know.
I do know that Daniel hopes to be reading one of my choices after Christmas has hopefully delivered the book!
