Feature Friday #10

and Concise Book Reviews.  Be sure you follow all four of them, and read their answers as well - it's always great to learn fun things about our fellow bloggers! If you are a new follower, please let me know so I can follow you back.

The question of the week :

Q. Summer Reading. What was your favorite book that you were REQUIRED to read when you were in school?


A. I was always reading NON required books, SO... I dont remember most of them. I remember To Kill a Mockingbird, but our teachers let us watch half of the movie too... so I mostly remember the movie.
The only book that I remember was 1984- which I know is going to be a lot of peoples picks. But that book REALLY scared the crap out of me and made me think.
I will never forget that book.




What about you?

    I don't think I ever had "required" reading during the summer.

    I did always enjoy "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing."

    Thanks for following us. New Follower.

    I never had required summer reading either. I think my favorite book I read in school would have be Frankenstein.

    The main reason why I didn't like required reading so much was because I would rather be reading my own books. Stuff I want to read not stuff I have been told to read. To Kill a Mockingbird seems to be a popular one but was not required at my school.

    Thanks for the follow. Following you back! :)

Title: An Abundance of Katherines Author: John Green Summary : From Amazon : When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type happens to be girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.
