The Giver by Lois Lowry - I already finished reading it and really enjoyed it. I always wanted to read it when I was younger, but it came to a point when I thought I was too old to go back to it. Thank goodness I had the chance to go back now :)
30 Guys in 30 Days by Micol Olstow - Okay, so I was originally only going to read this "for fun" but isn't integrating fun reading and school reading what this class is about?
Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones - I was obsessed with Howl in Howl's Moving Castle during high school, so I want to venture out and see if any of her other books are as amazing and vivid.
The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster - I'm intrigued, plain and simple.
Catherine Called Birdy by Karen Cushman - A recommendation from my friends that know that I love historical fiction.
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman - One of my good friends has the same name as the protagonist of this series, so this one's dedicated to her :)
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer - Same as the giver, always wanted to read it but thought that it was too late to go back.
Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli - One of my friends in our class is reading it for her list and kept insisting that I read it too, so why not?
Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen - Sarah Dessen's books somehow always end up coming home with me from the bookstore even though I try my best to skim through it in the bookstore. Her books are the type that I'm still reading today, and part of the reason why I feel like my reading tastes are so elementary...but I can't help it, there's something about her books.
When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead - I found this randomly though book review websites, the story jumped out at me so I had to request it from the library. It's also the newest one out of my list. There are 47 holds on 49 copies, so it might be a while until I actually get this book, so I guess I should put this one as a maybe, but I hope it gets here in time.
