The 32 book summer challenge

Its no surprise that I love to read and seeing as I have an abnormally long summer this year because of leaving early to do exams, I'll have a lot of spare time. Although 32 books may not seem a lot, many of the books I have chosen are part of a series that I may get hooked into and so therefore this number could expand; I also didn't want to have to many because my mum tells me off enough as it is for spending too much money buying books and I want to enjoy my summer as much a possible by going out as much as I can and believe me if I have a book the likelihood is is that I'd rather read my book and I end up missing out. So here is the list of books I hope to read, I will read them as and when I want and in whatever order.

1. The great Gatsby- F Scott Fitzgerald 
2. To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee
3. The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fray- Rachel Joyce
4. Quiet- Susan Cain
5. Fated- Alyson Noel
6. Game of Thrones- George R R Martin 
7. The Bling Ring- Nancy Jo Sales
8. Beautiful Creatures- Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia
9. Lord of the Rings- J R R Tolkien 
10. City of Fallen Angels- Cassandre Clare
11. City of Lost Souls- Cassandre Clare
12. Catcher in the Rye- J D Salinger
13. Little Women- Lousia May Alcott
14. Gone Girl- Gillian Flynn
15. The Secret Keeper- Kate Morton
16. Enchantress- James Maxwell
17. Gone- Michael Grant
18. The Travel Bug- Sheila Norton
19. Bridget Jones' Diary- Helen Fielding 
20. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy- Douglas Adams
21. Call the Midwife- Jennifer Worth
22. Never Haunt a Historian- Edie Claire
23. The Perpetual Astonishment of Jonathon Fairfax- Christopher Shelvin
24. Where'd You Go, Bernadette- Maria Semple
25. Ender's Game- Orson Scott Card
26. Switched- Amanda Hocking
27. Paper Towns- John Green
28. The Mazer Runner- James Dashner
29. The Book Thief- Markus Zusak
30. Matched- Ally Condie
31. It's Kind of a Funny Story- Ned Vizzini 
32. Night School- C J Daughtery 

*I may include books as the summer goes on.* I'm going to say that I will start today, reading Bridget Jones' Diary and my summer finishes 2nd September. As I finish each book I will come back and cross it off the list; I will also post reviews of all the books that I read.

My trip to London in the summer

So back in December I made this post listing all of the things that I was looking forward to in 2013. One of the posts on there was that I was going to London, although at the time of the post I didn't quite realise how excited I am for the trip, and here's why...

I am going to see COLIN MORGAN(!!!!!!) in the Tempest at the Globe Theatre which means that I get to see this face in only a matter of months.

and I can't quite tell you how excited that makes me feel, so much so that I have no idea how I am forming coherent sentences. I am hoping to go on one of the few days that the cast will be staying behind for a Q and A session after the play. 

The main reason we are going is so that we can have a break in the summer before our main holiday to Florida in October, but we decided on London after debating with Cornwall or Devon because I have not been to London since I was much younger and can barely remember it, so we are going to visit the landmarks such as Big Ben, Tower of London, London Eye, Houses of Parliament etc

We are also going to go to Madame Tussauds because I have never been, I'm very excited to get a picture next to the Queen and Barack Obama etc, we are also going to visit the museums because my dad is big on history and loves museums. We are also going back to Leavesden Studios again!

So as you can imagine all of this leaves me to absolutely uncontrollable excitement, bring on June/July as I'm not 100% sure when I am going and if they are the final plans but I do know that we will be going for 3/4 days so its a lot to fit in but I am so excited. Who knew so much excitement could be on my front door?!
