On the last day of school from third grade to middle school, I went to school with either my dad or mom to pick up my final report card, listen to my teacher tell my parents about my excellent behavior at school (read: I was a goody two shoes) and receive my summer reading list.
Falling under the “goody two shoes” category, I lived for my summer reading list. Once we left the school, I would beg my parents to immediately drive to Barnes & Noble to purchase my books. I would also beg them to go to Office Max to purchase my school supplies for September but that’s another story.
My parents are avid readers and would indulge me to visit the bookstore so I could peruse the aisles. It was no surprise that I needed glasses by the fifth grade.
Since I’m no longer in school and I won’t be picking up my beloved summer reading list from my teachers, I took matters into my own hands.
I’d love for you to pin it and read along with me! I already finished Mudbound, to say I could not put it down is an understatement. Visit my blog tomorrow for a review 🙂
If you aren’t already, friend me on Goodreads. I love seeing which books people are reading. Do you have a summer reading list?
Let’s stay in touch!

oh my gosh I am the SAME exact way. The fact that my middle school librarian would have a book picked out for me every other day when i visited is the epitome of book nerd. I bought Girls in White Dresses but haven’t read it yet, it’s also definitely next on my list! I LOVED Commencement though…also own that one (another habit I have to stop since I live in a shoebox in Manhattan).
I just added you and the others to my Goodreads account as well!
