Feature & Follow Friday is a blog hop sponsored by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read. Answer a question and hop around to meet other bloggers:)
Question: Summer reading. What was your favorite book that you were required to read for school?
It's hard to pick just one. All of these were memorable in some way. To
Kill a Mockingbird would have to be my favorite because I remember the
most things from it. Apparently we had a crappy reading selection after
freshman year.
9th grade. Memorable characters.
Important exploration of racism. Had a
satisfied grin on my face by the end.

ALL of these were required reading at some point or another at my school. Though luckily, I lucked out. :3 Didn't have to read any of them. But I was intrigued by "Jane Eyre" that the AP English 4 kids had to read: one of my friends gave me her old copy when she was finished with it and I've been sorely tempted to read it for some time.
Thanks for sharing. :) And for stopping by my blog. :)

I've read both Fahrenheit 451 and To Kill a Mockingbird, but I didn't read either of them for school. I loved To Kill a Mockingbird. Didn't like Fahrenheit 451 so much. Although, I did appreciate the social awareness it gave me.
I loved To Kill a Mockingbird when I read it in 9th grade and also loved Fahrenheit 451 when we read it in 10th grade. Jane Eyre was never required reading for me.

I feel like I need to read a lot of these school books again to see if I appreciate them more or less than when I was in my teens. Great answer.

Mockingbird is definitely popular. I just didn't enjoy that much when I read it. I think parts of it got me lost...that or I was daydreaming!
Here's my Friday Hops

can you believe I've never read to Kill a Mockingbird? I switched schools 8th grade when I was supposed to read it, but in my new school kids read it in 7th grade, so I never read it lol

Thanks for dropping by--yes, I love Sylvia Plath, I read her at least once a year. And Ray Bradbury is always a great choice!
All three of these picks are terrific, and ones I really enjoyed reading.
