Ooh, this sounds fun! Okay, let's get started...
Ms. Emily Anne's English Lit Reading List
Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes by Chris Crutcher
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnely
These books are all highly discussable, deal with heavty topics, and have beautiful writing. I would add some classics, but I have never been in a high school or college English Class... Soon though!
So, what are on your lists?
And if, as a teacher, I was feeling particularly nice...
the Harry Potter Books would be included.
Great list! I've got The Fault in Our Stars on my kindle but haven't gotten to it yet. Hopefully soon, though. :D Old Follower here.
ReplyDeleteMy FFs are at Musings on Fantasia and LKHill. Happy Friday!
Lol HP made my list too, but mandatory, not as a treat, haha. Great list!
ReplyDeleteAmanda @ i solemnly swear
The Fault in our Stars in the only one from that list I've read; except, of course, for Harry Potter :)

Hopping through. Love TFIOS. I like Revolution more than Northern Light, but it's good too.

Emily I love your list, I could have written this myself LOL
ReplyDeleteI've also got The Book Thief in my list. I actually studied a Melina Marchetta book at school, Looking for Alibrandi, so I also added On the Jellicoe Road to my list as I think her books are awesome to discuss. We had such a great time reading Looking for Alibrandi, I loved the book so much I revisited it after I left school :D
My Friday Hop
I never read any of these, I must confess. But The fault in our stars is definitively on my wishlist.

Here's my Friday Hop.
Thanks for stopping by my Feature & Follow!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read The Fault in Our Stars, but I have heard some really great things about it, so that's probably a good choice! Can't argue The Book Theif; more people definitely need to read that book!
