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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
