Follow Friday (#28)

Alison Can Read Feature & Follow
Feature & Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read where you meet and follow different bloggers.

 Question of the Week: Back to School time! Create a reading list for the imaginary English Lit class you'll be teaching this semester. 

BEST. QUESTION. EVER. Okay, so how many books would I make the class read in a term? Can they be over-acheiving, fast readers?

  • To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee (everyone should read this, okay?)
  • Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy (because I have to read it next term and this imaginary class can struggle through it with me!)
  • The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (why isn't this on the curriculum? SHAME ON YOU, SCHOOLS!)
  • The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (a nice, light read for the end of term...joking, this book will rip your heart out :) )

So what books would you make an English class read? Leave a comment below, and don't forget to check out the giveaway (where you can't actually win any of the books on the above list - sad face)

    Hey, I didn't think TFOS was that heartbreaking. Okay...maybe it was. It ending on a semi-positive note, well, considering that the main character can croak at any time.

      It definitely was! It did kind of end positively, but it still ripped my heart out!

    Because John Green and Markus Zusak are great, I'm going to enroll in your class, Ma'am.
