My 2011 Summer Reading List: Here We Go!

Today is my last day of the term. I give a final this afternoon, grade all weekend, and submit final grades on Monday. So, in the world of a teacher, summer starts next Monday. Woohoo! Although, technically, I only have a week break and then I begin a new term, which is actually more time and work intensive for me than my current class. And with Finn's preschool taking a break for the summer, I am a full time mama with no breaks, working more hours, and I seem to have about a million other things going on. So, this summer will be busy, but it is summer nonetheless, and I am excited. Just the idea of summer gets me a little giddy at times.
Anyways, each summer I compile a reading list of books that I hope to read. My list for this summer was HUGE, but I narrowed it down to my top 9. However, even that is a bit optimistic, as I am currently in the middle of 4 books (not on my reading list) that I need to finish before I can even begin my summer choices. Plus, I am starting a book club next week which will add more to my reading pile. And, a few of my top 9 are pretty long and intense books.... So, I am going to do my best to tackle them all, but I will forgive myself if I don't complete all 9. (Actually, if I read 6 of them, I will be pretty impressed with myself. There is just not much time to read with 2 little ones at home!). And, to be honest, one of these books is straight from my reading list from last year that I still haven't gotten around to, and 2 of the 4 books that I am currently reading are also from last summer's list.
Anyways, here is what I am hoping to read this summer. Do you have a summer reading list?
