Over the long break, you are expected to research, taste, and look for a book that interests you! I can provide some suggestions by curating a hyperlinked lists of my favorites and other titles and book trailers. Browse at least three of the lists/book trailers and identify five texts that interest you. You may also have your own books in mind from browsing some of the titles in our class, or from previous years lists including Summer Reading.
