Rewards for reading!
All throughout my upper elementary school and middle school, we were rewarded for reading. For example, if you read for 60 minutes over the summer, you would receive a free six flags ticket. During the school year, you would receive a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut if you read a certain amount of books. Such a highlight! -

Books that are Movies
I have always loved watching a movie and then reading the book. In college two of my favorite movies were Twilight and The Hunger Games. Theses were also excellent movies. It is also pretty cool to compare the books to the movies. For the most part, the books have been better, minus the last Hunger Games. -
