Books I want to read this summer (heavily from: http://rookiemag.com/2012/06/magical-thinking/)

"Just Kids" by Patti Smith (everyone keeps talking about how great it is! I want to know too!)

"Unspoken" by Sarah Rees Brennan (Gothic novels!)

John Bellairs books (More Gothic novels!)

... Find more Gothic novels...

The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid: A Memoir by Bill Bryson

Any Francesca Lia Block books that I missed in 2008.

Grimm's fariy tales, if I want really gruesome things?

BUY: The Scribble Diary. I need motivation to create without pressure!

Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr 

The Vanishers by Heidi Julavits (I secretly really like reading things about psychics/intuitives even though I don't really know my stance about the concept)

Arcadia by Lauren Groff 

Here They Come by Yannick Murphy (maybe not, though, cause I don't very much feel like being punched in the feels?)

Frida Kahlo: Song of Herself by Salomon Grimberg (... I don't mind much being punched in the feels for Frida, though. Frida is my heart.)

The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim (Ladies live together and become friends? Okay, I'm down.)

Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh ("I read this book every year in the summertime. When I was younger I would only read the first half, which is full of collegiate shenanigans and fresh ripe strawberries and the escapism of friendship." Yeah, I'm down too.)
