Shmoop has announced its first ever summer reading list. I have read nine of these books, and there are a few titles here that I’ve wanted to read. Maybe there is also a book here for you!

I vote for more traditional books that will be on the exam. My small group of students out here in Chisinau, Moldova will read this summer: The Good Earth; The Chosen; Cry, the Beloved Country; My Antonia and O Pioneers!. The connection in all of these is location and the impact of location on the character and plot. One student is also reading Crime and Punishment set in St Petersburg–another case of a story in a set location…….
I like that you have tied the books together with a thematic theme, which gives students a way of looking at the books besides that they could use them for an essay on the AP Lit exam.
