School's out and I've officially gotten started on my summer reading list. Last week, I went to the library and came home with a huge stack of books to start myself off, and I've already finished two of them! I've been flying through pages on my front porch in the evenings. The weather has just been too perfect to pass up!
Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and Its Aftermath by Mimi Alford
I loved this book! Set aside my near obsession with anything remotely related to the Kennedys, and I still would have loved it. This book is written with so much honesty on such a personal topic, that I immediately liked Mimi, and rooted for her from start to finish. And even though it's nonfiction, it's written like a novel, so it's not dry or boring at all. Ever. There wasn't a single moment reading this book that I was bored.
Carpool Diem by Nancy Star
This book was super cute, and really a great book to read during the summer. It's not "literature," but it's a fun read.
The Soiling of Old Glory by Louis P. Masur
Every time I try to sit down and just read this book, I can't do it. My APUSH summer reading, while highly intellectual and very interesting, just doesn't do it for me right now. Granted, I'm in the middle of a pretty dry chapter right now, so there is hope it will get better. For now, I'm just slowly chipping away at it on the side.
What have you been reading?
