Manga Summer Asassination Class room by Yusei Matsui

This is a strange and amusing little manga. A powerful alien shows up on Earth and promptly destroys three fourths of the moon. He then demands to be given a class full of students to teach, and thus is placed at a prestigious Japanese school. 

He is given class 3-E a lower ranking group of students. The Alien which is named Koro Sensei by the students, has an offer for the students and mankind: If the students can kill him in a year he won't destroy the earth. Koro Sensei even gives them a material to use in their weapons that can harm him

The assassination scenes are a lot of fun in this book and there are also some really meaningful scenes with Sensei and his students, he really cares for them and helps them move through personal and educational blocks.

I'm so curious to see how this series ends. It was a tremendous success in Japan but the creator has stated that he will still follow his initial creative arc. Such a fun read for the summer!

By The List: My Summer Reading : Final Update

Final Update

I read a total of 93 books this summer! There were only 4 unread on my list that I will be finishing this month.

One of my favorite things about  the last day of school when I was a kid was the five page summer reading list our teacher would give us.
We were supposed to read at list five books off the list and do book reports on them. I however challenged myself to read as many of the books as possible. I loved drawing a line through the books I completed and if I got at least one page complete I felt so satisfied! 

 So I decided to make my own list this year. I have  included some classics, graphic novels , childrens books, poetry and memoirs. As of now the list is at 54 books, but i hope to make it to 100. Here are some of the titles:
