SoCal Girl's End of Summer Reading List

Every summer I like to make reading lists of all the wonderful books I never got a chance to read during the rest of the year because of crazy schoolwork or a hectic work schedule. I usually make a list at the very beginning of summer and then a list at the end of summer (to make up for all the ones I missed on the other list and for all the fun summer releases). It’s been a habit since the age of 12 when my parents tried to limit the number of non-school-related books I was reading, and it became one that stuck. As you can see from my previous posts, “And the Mountains Echoed”, “I am Malala”, “Temple Dancer” and “Socialite Evenings” were all on my list, and here is the rest of it:

1.       “And the Mountains Echoed” by Khaled Hosseini

2.       “I am Malala” by Malala Yousafzai, Christina Lamb

3.       “The Temple Dancer” by John Speed

4.       “Socialite Evenings” by Shobha De

5.       “Inferno” by Dan Brown

6.       “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn

7.       “Say You’re One of Them” by Uwem Akpan

8.       “Brotherhood: Dharma, Destiny, and the American Dream” by Deepak Chopra

9.       “Portrait in Sepia” by Isabel Allende

10.   “If I Stay” by Gayle Forman
