I haven't been an avid reader since last year due to school/homework, projects and such. However, this summer I'm planning to read as much books as I can before I return back to school for grade 12 :D Any suggestions? As well as your favourite books?  Here are my top 6 books: 1. A Tree Grows In Brooklyn by Betty Smith 2. The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen 3. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green 4. The Giver by Lois Lowry. 5. The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins 6. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor and catch the trade winds in your sails.
