Just 1 book this summer!! You are missing out on some serious fun if you limit yourself to just one book!
Read Maximum Ride by James Patterson. Oh, wait, that might be magical.
Hmm, how about biographies? Madame Curie by Eve Curie was a WONDERFULLY LYRICAL book. Note Eve's wistfulness as she discusses herself and how she wished her mom had pushed her. Eve is a beautiful writer, hope you can find the book. It may have gone out of print again, it was first published in 1937 and then came out again a few years ago. I bought 4 copies, it is that beautiful a book.
Oh, you have to laugh yourself silly with The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I got hysterical fits at some points in the book.
Read sobering Ann Rule true crime stories. Especially the STranger beside me. You will become lots more leery of men who seem to have broken arms in casts, and won't be so willing to be helpful to them. That was Ted Bundy's very useful ploy to kill several beautiful women. Oh, and that one about Fahey-Capani, was it And Never Let Her Go. You will never get involved with a married man if you read that story.
Read a James Michener novel, like Hawaii. Gives a true history of Hawaii at the saem time as a very entertaining story.
If you don't like Pride and Prejudice, then you are not a girl!! It's just that it is funny as hell, and takes a couple of re-readings to get the most fun out of it. Every girl will feel for Elizabeth in her fury and her embarrassment.
There are just so many great books and so many good writers! How can you limit yourself to just one?????
