This semester I am taking seven classes, and five of them meet once a week, so it has been a bit of a challenge to adapt to my constantly moving class schedule. Nevertheless, it has kept things exciting this year!!
One of my favorite classes is Young Adult Literature. Through the class, we read at least one book a week. It has been awesome being able to read so many books, and for fun!
The books we have read include:
- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
- This is a truly powerful book that has recently been made in to a movie. It is about a young girl, Liesel, and her profound love of books. Set in Nazi, Germany, The Book Thief recounts the tale of this young girl as she watches her country, family, and friends change before her eyes. Readers are pulled in to her gripping story as Liesel pursues her dream to read despite the oppression of the circumstances that surround her. I would highly recommend this book!
- The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.
- La Linea by Ann Jaramillo
- Split by Swati Avasthi
- Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
- The Lightning Thief (Part of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series) by Rick Riordan
- The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
These books have all been incredibly powerful, and such a nice change to talk about these books in class and do projects over them! It has been one of my absolute favorite classes throughout college, and I am really excited to continue with this class the rest of the semester.
