Splash into Summer Giveaway Hop
Hosted by I am a Reader, Not a Writer, and Page Turners Blog
When it gets hot, hot, hot, the only thing I regret about having pool access is that books and water don't mix. This is especially true with eReaders, haha! It's cool though--after a dip and getting my hair wet, I love to chill out poolside with a good book (slathered in sunscreen, of course!)

ReplyDeleteI had to read To Kill A Mockingbird for AP English and I loved it:)
I totally need to read that again! It's been a while, and it's such a great book :D
DeleteMmm.....i think it was the Great Gatsby. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've seen this, right?
DeleteThe Odyssey. I actually really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteStill on my to-read list. Maybe this summer...
DeleteThe Giver, a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteLOVED The Giver! I got a signed copy for Christmas!
DeleteI Never Promised You a Rose Garden. It might have been the only book I was forced to read during the summer, but it was utterly fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't remember if I read this! Will have to check it out again soon.
DeleteSwallowing Stones was probably the best school book but before the Twilight craze started my brother forced me to read it and I loved it!
ReplyDeleteThere was an episode of CSI with the same premise as Swallowing Stones. I was like, hey! I already read this one! ;D
DeleteThe Merchant of Death by D.J. MacHale. It was just absolutely amazing :)
ReplyDeleteAh, I still haven't read Pendragon--must start on those this summer. Thanks!
DeleteWell I have to say I really have never been forced to read anything....but as far has required reading for school I loved
ReplyDeleteTo Kill A Mockingbird.
You lucky girl! I had to read The Human Comedy sophomore year. Blergh! It was not my cup of tea. We did also have to red Julius Caesar, which made up for it ;)
DeleteI was so bad at being forced to read things - mostly because I hated it. But I'll go with... The Giver by Lois Lowry. :)
ReplyDeleteAwww. Well do you love reading now? The Giver is a great book :)
DeleteFahrenheit 451.....it was awesome.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteI had to read the Red Badge of Courage.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever had to read that--if I did, I don't remember :/
Delete1984
ReplyDeleteI think I had to choose between that and Slaughterhouse Five, and I chose the one that sounded the most like a video game (also, a really great book! ;)
DeleteThe best book I was forced to read over a summer would be The Mysterious Benedict Society. It was required reading on our school's 6th grade summer reading list (before I lobbied to let kids choose their own summer reading) and I really loved it.
ReplyDeleteI love that series! I need to catch up, I'm two books behind.
DeleteI had to read Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye. Argh.
ReplyDeleteThat makes me want to read it now--I love love love Beloved and Song of Solomon.
DeleteI don't think I was ever made to read anything during the summer. When I was in school(long time ago) we just had to read the mandatory ones during school. I heard my 14 yr.old granddaughter talking about having to read a book(don't remember the name) this summer while out of school> I have never heard of this!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Lucky Judy... In grade school I never had to, but I had Advanced Placement courses in high school and every year there were at least 3 or 4 mandatory books to read. All of them were classics, but not all of them were gems XD or even at all relevant to us as teenagers/people.
DeleteTo Kill a Mockingbird, but I'm so glad I read it! It was amazing :)
ReplyDeleteTo Kill a Mockingbird or The Martian Chronicles.
ReplyDeleteHmm...Trying to remember the books I *had* to read over the summer, lol...Thinking back, I'm gonna go with "Cold Mountain" -- at the time, it was so different from what I'd ever read, and it really stuck with me. ((Plus I had to do this really awesome group project on it, haha))
ReplyDeleteFun giveaway!
I never really had a summer reading list until this year, and so far my favourite one is Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams.
ReplyDeleteTwilight.. Long ago, I was so bored and ended loving it, lol

I remember loving Devil in the White City when I had to read it for school. I was forced to finish it in one week but managed to get through it in one day :) Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThe only books I'm ever forced to read during the summer are the ones required for school, which often surprise me by being really good. The best one, though, would be Petey by Ben Mikaelsen.
ReplyDeleteThe best book I was forced to read during the summer was The Great Gatsby and I absolutely loved it. I'm so excited about the new movie. The trailer looking amazing!
ReplyDeleteI was homeschooled. I was never forced to read any book during the summer. :)
ReplyDeleteI had to read Alice in Wonderland. And I loved it!
ReplyDeleteAnimal Farm
ReplyDelete1984
ReplyDeleteI'm homeschooled, so there is no summer reading for me :D
ReplyDeleteThe Catcher in the Rye. Thanks for the great giveaway! :]
ReplyDeleteNever been made to read anything over the summer... Sorry I can't really answer.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Animal Farm, thanks for the giveaway! :)
ReplyDeletethe best book i was ever forced to read over the summer was either the great gatsby or brave new world. my teachers usually assigned us some pretty good summer reading books.
ReplyDeleteI've never been forced to read a book before. Maybe in school, but that was long ago! Thanks for the great giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember ever being "forced" to read a book. My mom could barely get my nose OUT of a book, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Jane Eyre, Now I own it every possible way, book, ebook, audio lol!
ReplyDeleteJekyll and Hyde! Love that book :)
ReplyDeleteFortunately, I never had any summer reading assignments, so I got to read whatever I wanted over the summers!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the best book you were ever forced to read for the summer? The Perfect Chemistry series. I judged this series saoo much and when I finally read it it shut me upbeacuse I loved it so much.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea! Really forced? I don't think that's ever happened to me. To be truthful. :D I've been pressured but not forced.
ReplyDeleteI mean "mandatory"--for instance, the English classes I had in high school gave us a list of 3 or 4 books we had to read every summer, and if you didn't have the reading done by the start of school, you would be at a disadvantage and not be able to complete assignments from Day 1. So that's what I mean by "forced"--it's pretty common with Advanced Placement classes.
DeleteI've never been "forced" to read anything during the summer :)
ReplyDeleteI've never been forced to read something for summer. That has always been reserved for what I want to read.
ReplyDeleteTo Kill a Mockingbird....
ReplyDeleteNever been forced!
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing the hop!
In high school (a very long time ago) I remember we had to read Of Mice and Men.
ReplyDeleteI had to read Emma by Jane Austen for summer reading and I put it off until the very end but ended up loving it!
ReplyDeleteI read Ten Things we did... and it was a fun read!
ReplyDeleteManeesha Haroon
I don't think that anyone ever made me read a book during the summer so I'm just going to tell you the book that I am most looking forward to this summer and that would be Defiance by CJ Redwine!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy sister had me read Twilight. I was not a reader. Before Twilight I never read any book. I fell in love with them. I'm a big fan. Now I can't stop reading. I love to read. Thanks for this great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI've never had anything assigned to read over the summer thankfully! So I pretty much get to choose what I want :) Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI was never forced to read anything during the summer... thank god!
ReplyDeleteI've never had to be forced to read anything :-D
ReplyDeleteI would say Death of a Salesman.
ReplyDeleteI was never forced to have to read anything over summer vacation.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to remember a book that I have been forced to read. I pretty much read anything willingly.
ReplyDeleteI was never forced to read anything, but the best summer read I've read is probably the Giver by Lois Lowry. I read that several summers ago and I believe that was where my love of sci-fi/dystopians was born!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDelete"The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne - for English 11 AP. I read the first chapter, reluctantly, and then DEVOURED the book. Became one of my all time favorites...! Amazing, the effect good literature can have on you! :D

Do YOU know how many years it's been since I HAD to read anything I didn't want to!
ReplyDelete40+
soooo maybe Huckleberry Finn
I haven't been forced to read anything in a long while, but one of the books I remember most that I had to read for summer reading was Ordinary People.
ReplyDeleteThe best book I was ever forced to read during the summer was Where the Heart is by Billie Letts. I had to read it for my English class in high school over the summer and I loved it. I also had to read Harry Potter in the 6th grade, and I'm so glad I did.
