25 Page-Turning Books You Should Read By The End Of Summer
Pure Wow

Growing up, I would always participate in my local library's summer reading challenge, as well as summer reading assignments for middle and high school. Now that I'm in college, I've aged out of the library summer reading programs. I'm also not required to read anything at all this summer. However, now that I don't dread reading like I did growing up, I want to do as much reading for fun as I can before I have to read books that I am required to. So, here is a list of books I want to read/try to read before summer is over:

1. Sorority by Genevieve Sly Crane

2. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

3. Turtles All The Way Down by John Green

4. Inferno by Dan Brown

5. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

6. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

7. Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

8. Matched by Ally Condie

9. M Train by Patti Smith

10. Just Kids by Patti Smith

11. The Careful Undressing Of Love by Corey Ann Haydu

12. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

13. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

14. Strange The Dreamer by Laini Taylor

15. The Summons by John Grisham

16. They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera

17. Hear by Robin Epstein

18. The Girl In 6E by Alessandra Torre

19. The Leaving by Tara Altebrando

20. A Pleasure And A Calling by Phil Hogan

21. Anna And The French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

22. Graceling by Kristin Cashore

23. The Call by Peader O'Guilin

24. Passenger by Alexandra Bracken

25. Always And Forever Lara Jean by Jenny Han


These are all the books I want to try to read this summer, so feel free to join me. Reading helps to keep your mind engaged and keeps you productive over the summer.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
