What are you reading this summer? Besides your ATYP homework, that is.

One of the best things about summer is the time to enjoy the books you really want to read. What's your favorite? Do you read Harry Potter over and over? Do you love the books of John Green? Do you like fantasy and dragons? Are you into biographies of athletes, historical figures, or world leaders? If you could take any book to the beach, what would it be?

Hopefully you've noticed the "Recommended Reads" tab at the top of this page. Here you'll find a list of titles suggested by other ATYP students and staff as being among the best of the best. If you're making your way to the library, bookstore, or Amazon this week, you might want to look here for ideas on what to read next. Or maybe you finished something fabulous just last night and you want to share it with the group - in which case you can write a comment or email us the name and a short description so we can add it to the list.

Personally, I love To Kill a Mockingbird, which just happens to be on the ATYP recommended reading list. It's also one of the great movie adaptations of a books - one they didn't totally screw up - in case you get a chance to watch it. Whichever books you're enjoying, we know there's nothing better on a quiet summer day than a fantastic story. So read on...there's only a month left!
