Important Note to Students

The HAMLIT assignment page is a convenience but not something to be dependent on. When possible, homework and reading assignments will be posted here, but you are expected to complete all assignments that are announced in class on time, regardless of whether they are posted online. If you are absent, or do not remember if there is an assignment, you will need to contact another member of class to verify what the assignment is. Neither I nor the site are responsible for your failure to complete this responsibility.

Summer Reading and Favorites

Hello incoming Juniors!

We've reached just over the half-way part of summer, and before you go into mourning, just think that you still have half of a summer to enjoy and fill with great reading! I hope you've been making progress on your summer reading achievements, and that you've found books that you've been enjoying. I forgot to post some of my favorites if you are hoping to earn the "Teacher's Pet" achievement, so below you will find a list of some of my favorites. I will intentionally omit those books that we read during junior year or senior AP Lit, so my list might seem very narrow in focus to you. I'll try to get some posted for Mrs. Harris and add any to my lists that I've forgotten.

Some of McElliott's favorite classic novels:

North and South (Gaskell)
Mary Barton (Gaskell)
Jane Eyre (C. Bronte)
Northanger Abbey (Austen)
Persuasion (Austen)
Barchester Towers (Trollope)


Some of McElliott's favorite "lighter fiction" authors: (Many of these are series, so you can choose which titles or series you want.)

Patrick Rothfuss
Brandon Sanderson
Sue Grafton
Estelle Ryan
Jim Butcher
Guy Gavriel Kaye
