My Summer TBR Pile and a reading challenge


These do not include library books, only the books I own.

The one I'm looking most forward to reading is Bamboo People since I just finished a Mitali Perkins book and LOVED it! Her writing is so vivid and full of sensory details. I have a feeling I'll be reading many more of her books before the summer's over.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I've decided "set sail" and take on my library's summer reading challenge this year, so for all of you out there who are following along, but haven't commented yet, I need your help with suggestions.

These are the "checkpoints"

Theme: water
Fiction
Non-Fiction
Movie

Theme: Michigan (either setting or author)
Fiction
Non-Fiction
Movie

Theme: Travel
Fiction
Non-Fiction
Movie

So give me some good suggestions - I especially need help with the Michigan one. I'm considering Mitch Albom for the fiction or non-fiction (or both) but I'm drawing blanks on movies that take place in Michigan.

  1. The Red Pyramid is really good! Is the book at the top of the pile Ella Enchanted?

  3. Do you need a book that was made into a movie that was filmed in Michigan? Or just a movie related to Michigan? Michael Moore's from Michigan.

  4. No, the movie can be anything that takes place in Michigan. I decided to bite the bullet and pick Roger and Me by Michael Moore. Not a big fan of him but it's all I could come up with at this point.
