TGIF is a weekly feature created and hosted by GReads! that re-caps the week’s posts and has different question each week.
This week’s question: Required Reading: Which book from your school days do you remember reading & enjoying? Is there a book published now that you’d like to see in today’s curriculum for kids?

Great_expectationsI have a HORRIBLE memory…and I didn’t work too hard in high school to be honest. The only book I remember reading is Great Expectations. I’m sure I read others, but I seriously can’t remember. I do remember liking Great Expectations though! And I liked it eGreat_expectations_posterven more after we got to watch the 1946 film…and I really loved the 1998 movie as well.

I don’t really know which book I would like to see in today’s curriculum though….so many!

That’s my couch. :) I like to lay against that pillow, with the window behind me giving me some awesome light during the day. Oh, and that’s my foot, wrapped in my favorite blanket. Normally there’s books staked against the back of the couch…there’s one now! But I just cleaned that area up, lol.

  • Jessica@a GREAT read

    Comfy! I like reading in my bed! My bed is sort of my personal couch for my bedroom!  A lot of people tend to like the Great Gatsby from school. I didn’t care for it all that much. I had a hard time finding school books that I enjoyed. Really there was only one…

    It was hard for me to remember what books I liked from high school too – I do remember Wuthering Heights and for some reason I still love it to this day!

  • Victoria@FixatedonFiction

    i was generally the same way. i surprised myself a few times by actually doing the reading. usually i just skimmed the chapters, lol.

    I’ll admit I didn’t get through Great Expectations. It’s on my list to finally finish some day…but as we all know that list is awful long!

    I can’t remember at all if I read it in high school or not.   By the way I love love love your header art.  It reminds me of Winnie the Pooh art.  Beautiful!

    Great post and photograph! I’m not surprised that’s your favourite place – it looks comfy! I think the blanket is very important too! :)

    Nice reading spot. Reminds me of mine (particular corner of a couch, but a different colored couch of course) Here’s mine:  Reading Spot

  • sunshinejenn03

    Looks comfy!  I love when I can read with good, natural light.  Which isn’t an issue really with the iPad, but I still find myself opening the windows “for light” even though its backlit.  Strange habits.

    I’ve not read Great Expectations yet, unfortunately. One day, I will get around to reading all these classics!

  • http://profiles.google.com/stephoneil Stephanie O’Neil

    One– your pillow is so cute!  Love the fabric!
    Two– I loved Great Expectations as well.  I’ve been meaning to reread it soon.

  • Bookgoonie

    Most of what I read in school was forced & not worth remembering. How unfortunate.

  • Christy @TheReaderBee

    Your reading spot looks really comfy! I never read Great Expectations, I really need to add that to my list! :)
