The school year is almost over, and I am planning my summer reading list. I love reading, and I don’t do enough of it during the school year. Here is what I have so far.
- The rest of Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon
- Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel Pink
- David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants by Malcolm Gladwell
- Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper
- Creative Confidence: Unleashing the Creative Potential Within Us All by David Kelley and Tom Kelley
- The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (My daughter told me I had to read this since I love YA stories) and some other “just for fun” books
Any other suggestions? I’m open both to books that will help me grow as an educator and to just for fun recommendations; my fun reads tend to be contemporary and young adult novels, historical fiction, science fiction, and fantasy stories, but I’m open to reading other genres as well.
Here’s a list of books pointing in all directions. Some are decades old. I’ve read or re-read them all in the past year.
Submergence, by J. M. Ledgard
Momo, by Michael Ende
Swimming Studies, by Leanne Shapton
Uncreative Writing, by Kenneth Goldsmith
Understanding Comics, by Scott McCloud
Landscapes of Betrayal, Landscapes of Joy,, by Herb Childress
Outside Lies Magic, by John Stilgoe
Thanks for this list. I read and enjoyed Momo many years ago, but I haven’t read any of the others. They look interesting. I’m afraid choosing will be tough.
