Next up, I plan to read As I Lay Dying by Faulkner. In college, I took a class completely devoted to studying the books written by William Faulkner. However, I was super busy with a huge classload, method labs, and work that semester and may have Spark Noted a few of the novels...There, I admitted it. That's bad, isn't it?
After getting through Faulkner, I plan to read Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. I refused to see the movie when it came out a couple of years ago because I wanted to read the book first. However, it has been sitting neglected on my nightstand along with a couple of other books for some time now. Hopefully, it will be moved to my shelf at at school by August.
The Poisonwood Bible is a book that was recommended to me by Mrs. Toni Adams. It was on the 12th grade summer reading list at WCHS in North Carolina, and I plan on finally reading it this summer. I have heard that it is REALLY good!
The last book that I plan on reading is definitely NOT on the top 100 books list. It is a true summer read, but I am still excited about it. I have owned The Host by Stefanie Meyer (of Twighlight fame) for three or four years now. Now that the film is set to come out in a few weeks, I may be finally ready to give it a shot.
As far as devotionals go, I just finished the 7 Experiement by Jen Hatmaker, which I enjoyed. Right now, I am reading A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George. So far, it has been both convicting and encouraging, and I really like it. I also hope to finally read A Heart Like His, which is a devotional book by Beth Moore. My mom gave it to me years ago, but I haven't went through it yet. It is a close look at the life of David, and I can't wait to get started reading it!
Whew! I have a lot of reading to do this summer! I will let you know what I think when I finish!
Well, Theo & I may have to take turns keeping Sawyer because you're going to be reading all summer. :) Love you!
