The summer holidays and summer reading!

Today I finished school for summer- yay! I know in the US schools get a longer summer holidays than the 6 weeks given in the UK so that's why it might seem a bit late. So summer means sun (if I'm lucky!) and lots of reading and I thought I'd share with you the 16 books are on my line up to read this summer:

• Eight Keys by Suzanne Le Fleur

• Daughter of Xandu by Dori Jones Yang 

• Die For Me by Amy Plum

• A Song For Summer by Eva Ibbotson ( I actually thought I'd read this one as it's been on my shelf for a few years but it turns out I haven't!)

• These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer

• Just Listen by Sarah Dessen (my first Dessen after I was recommended her books)

• Witch Child by Celia Rees

• The Keeper's Daughter by Gill Arbunthnott

• The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

• Troubadour by Mary Hoffman

• The Traitor's Smile by Patricia Elliot

• Emma by Jane Austen

• The Betrayal of Maggie Blair by Elizabeth Laird

• River Secrets by Shannon Hale

• The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory (my first Philippa Gregory)

• Shadows On The Moon by Zoe Marriott

I probably won't get through them all but I want to use all the free time I have in the holidays to get through as many of the unread books that I own as possible and I'd like to read at least 10. There are some favourites I'd like to re-read too such as Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, Anne Of Green Gables by L.M Montgomery and Party Shoes by Noel Streatfield.

Also, I might not post as regularly or consistently as usual because I have an Italian friend staying with me for a month who I only get to see once a year so I want to spend time with her. There will also be one week where I won't be updating, which is about three weeks from now.

Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What are you planning to read this summer?
