School Books and FUN Books ~ Summer Reading Linky!

I LOVE to read!  So I was happy to join in on the Clutter Free Classroom's linky party.  I'm always looking for good books to read and can't wait to check out what others are suggesting.  I plan on reading books for school, and books just for fun.
Books to read for school: 

I had never heard of these books until I started reading the blogs - I feel so behind the times!  But better late than never I guess. 
Mrs. Jump is hosting a blog book study about this book.  Amazon says it's out of stock, where do I find it??? Discussion starts June 22nd.

On to the fun books!
I was up at 6:30 this morning finishing book 1 - I HAVE to run to Walmart today and get the others!!!!!
I've read all the other books in the Game of Thrones series.  I love a long book - short ones I read too fast!

    I wanted to join that book study too! I was going to order my copy from Amazon on Monday. Sad to hear that it's out of stock :(.

    A young Sean Connery would have been perfect! I loved that series as well! I saw |Diana G. speak in Fergus ONtario 2 years ago - she spoke so well! i was sorry I had not brought my books to be autographed!
    I'm looking forward to the book clubs this summer.

      Oooo Sean Connery, I hadn't thought of him! I saw Diana G. speak in San Francisco last year - what a smart and funny lady! With her was the artist of the Exile, her graphic novel of Outlander. I forgot to bring my books too, so I splurged and bought a copy of the Exile and another copy of Outlander to be signed!

    I have both the Daily 5 and the Cafe Book. I there on the coffee table waiting in line behind the First Six Weeks of School and The Help. Somehow, The Help is the book that I keep finding in my hands- go figure.

    I am really excited to join the team at Santa Lucia- you guys are awesome!

      My body doesn't understand I don't have to wake up at 5:00 am anymore! It will probably figure it out the week before we start school again :)
