BREAKING DAWN by Stephenie Meyer, ROYAL BLOOD by Ellen Schreiber, WAITING FOR YOU by Susane Colasanti
*****
- The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod - Thirteen Reasons Why - Top 8
*****
THE HOST by Stephanie Meyer (I haven't read it yet) THE NOTEBOOK by Nicholas Sparks (Amazing Book) THE BOOK THIEF by Markus Zusak (haven't read it yet)
*****
The Harry Potter series THE SHADOW THIEVES by Anne Ursu The Grey Griffins books by Derek Benz and J. S. Lewis.

*****
Daniel X Harry Potter Just about any book by Meg Cabot
*****
Well, I would want our school to have a summer reading list in the first place, but if we did have one, these probably wouldn't be on it.
THE DEAD GIRLS' DANCE by Rachel Caine (Actually all the Morganville Vampires series) THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins THE LOVELY BONES by Alice Sebold
Those are all amazing books and i would recommend them to anyone.
*****
HIDDEN TALENTS - David Lubar THE LONDON EYE MYSTERY - Siohban Dowd WALK TWO MOONS - Sharon Creech
*****
The Cat in the Hat Winnie the Pooh Dick and Jane
*****
1. PRETTIES - Scott Westerfeld 2. MARLEY & ME - John Grogan 3. TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE - Mitch Albom
*****
1.I Heart You, You Haunt Me 2. PS I Loathe You 3.The Awakening
*****
They assigned books that kids don't want to read. If they want us teens to actually read the books instead of SparkNote it, then we should have books we want to read. Three books I would love to have on our reading list would be TWILIGHT, Harry Potter, and CITY OF BONES. The three of those are from amazing series and it gives you a little taste from the different supernatural worlds.
*****
City of Glass Cathy's Ring Being Nikki
*****
TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer ALL-AMERICAN GIRL by Meg Cabot PAID COMPANION by Amanda Quick
*****
I would like to see WITHOUT YOU by Anthony Rapp, PRAYERS FOR BOBBY by Leroy Aarons, and A LITTLE BIT WICKED by Kristen Chenoweth.
*****
FEELING SORRY FOR CELIA and FINDING CASSIE CRAZY (both by Jaclyn Moriarty) Also, I think THE RETURN by Sonia Levitin is nice.
*****
PAPER TOWNS by John Green
*****
The Twilight Saga, The Marked books, and A MAP OF THE KNOWN WORLD. The only reason the last one won't be is because I don't think it is out yet.
*****
THE HUNGER GAMES, GONE, and SLEEPING FRESHMEN NEVER LIE.
*****
Main Squeeze Saddles, Stars, and Stripes Ice Cream
*****
Twilight The Truth About Forever This Lullaby
*****
THE JOY LUCK CLUB by Amy Tan A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini IDENTICAL by Ellen Hopkins
*****
Diary of a Wimpy Kid Boys R Us Alphas
*****
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA by Gaston Leroux Something by Alexandre Dumas Something by Gabriel Garcia Marquez or Isabel Allende (don't care which for these 3) NB: for rising seniors at my school, all the books are world literature, meaning no British or American authors.
*****
Wicked Lovely Carter Finally Gets It In Mike We Trust
*****
Well I don't have a summer reading list, but if I did, I don't think I could figure out three books. I think I would like the books.... Well I can't narrow it down to three. Go on shelfari.com if you're ever looking for any good books.
*****
The Vampire Acadamy series, The Night World series, The Twilight series

*****
GONE WITH THE WIND --- it's a great book, the best Civil War novel I've ever read, but a lot of schools won't put it on there because it's considered a "romance"
Harry Potter --- All of these are great coming-of-age books, but they're not there because some people think they're demonic.
NIGHT --- I haven't seen this on any summer reading list I've looked at, which is a shame, because it's such a wonderful book. short, yes, but powerful.
*****

*****
My school does not have a summer reading list. I am in Elementary school, though. I'm sure our high school has one. So I am not qualified, I guess, to answer this poll.

THE CHOSEN ONE: Amazing, and I think it would be beneficial for students to read it and learn. THE DA VINCI CODE: haha, in a Catholic school, no way! But I love it. SOLD: Another amazing, meaningful story. I think we need to read about this horrible form of slavery, but it's probably too risky to let the kids read it.

Wow, I wish we could list more than 3! :D
*****
SMACK --- It is hands down the best heroin addiction book I have ever read and I highly recommend it.
