I also read To Kill A Mockingbird in school but only found that one to be okay :/ Otherwise, the books we read for school aren't too bad!Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-85874190626569340982016-08-31T21:58:47.019-06:002016-08-31T21:58:47.019-06:00The Giver, Tuck Everlasting, and To Kill A Mocking...The Giver, Tuck Everlasting, and To Kill A Mockingbird - I read those in school and they were all good!Lauren Stoolfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777860030600932061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-76330828935803741222016-08-31T05:53:43.146-06:002016-08-31T05:53:43.146-06:00ohhh I LOVED To Kill a Mockingird and The Outsider...ohhh I LOVED To Kill a Mockingird and The Outsiders and The Giver. :D I even re-read the Giver recently because it was so amazing. <3 Honestly I read a <i>lot</i> for school...homeschooling FTW...but do I remember all the books?

I can barely remember what I read last week, and it was something I wanted to read! 😂 I have only read two of these- Of Mice and Men was required, and I read The Giver like, last year hah. I think I was supposed to read Animal Farm, but I am like, 99% sure that I just read the Cliffs Notes and called it a day with that one. Oops? I feel like you got to read WAYYY better stuff than I did though.

Stargirl and The Giver are books from my teaching era, not my student era. I think my fifth grade teacher read us Tuck Everlasting, I didn't realize Rawls had written any books besides Where The Red Fern Grows, and The Outsiders was passed hand to hand outside of class, because I was in 8th grade when the movie came out. As far as assigned reading, I enjoyed Animal Farm, Tale of Two Cities, The Scarlet Letter, Cry the Beloved Country, The Color Purple, and The Chosen.

At least as a tween. Not sure how it'd hold up now, but I remember it fondly. The Giver and To Kill a Mockingbird are timeless, imo. <br /><br />I've never heard of teens being forced to read Stephen King in high school! I wish that had been my experience. Anyway, I read Nighshift as a teen as well, and it was pretty great. It's of the very first King books I read.
