Winter Reading

Katie Palermo, Photo editor

Summer reading, sure it seems like the bane of your existence and will single handedly ruin your summer, but it actually is giving you a “leg-up” when it comes to getting back into the groove of school. I might be the only one (other than teachers) that would find a winter reading assignment helpful for starting second semester strong.

First of all, a difference would be that you could choose any book, not just from a list compiled by the school. Of the many complaints that I have heard from peers is that the list doesn’t contain books that they’d be interested in reading. By eliminating that factor students should be more willing to pick up a book.

 

Just incase you are struggling to find a good page-turner for break; here are some to help brainstorm:

  1. Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling
  2. Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari
  3. The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
  4. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
  5. The Help by Kathryn Stockett
  6. Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling
  7. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy #1 by Douglas Adams

 

Happy holidays and happy reading!
