Mr. Gwynn's Reading List

So, to keep my students inspired to pick up a book (or 10) this summer, I thought I would keep you up to date on the current texts I have been jumping into. Please feel free to send me an e-mail and tell me what you've been reading, I'm always welcome to suggestions. (tgwynn@cabarrus.k12.nc.us)

Reading back through the entire HP series was pretty great this summer. It was awesome to string all the details together so I could really grasp what would happen to Harry in the end. There's a lot to say about it, but considering that one of my greatest pet peeves is ruining a book for someone, I will leave such conversations to be had face to face with fellow fans. Or you can always shoot me an e-mail if you have finished it, as well!

*I am re-reading the Harry Potter Series, Books 1-6, to get my brain ready for the 7th and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. To put it mildly, I can hardly wait!
