What Are You Reading?

“It’s Monday! What are you Reading?” is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. It is a chance for book lovers to share their reading accomplishments as well as what is on the proverbial nightstand. She even does a giveaway. Subsequently Jen and Kellee at Teach Mentor Texts added an opportunity for those reading kidlit to join the fun. Since I read both I will post to both. Check them out, join the conversations, and discover more great books.

I don't usually post more than once a month and I haven't included any picture books I read. (I read quite a few between my four year old and my classroom.) This week I want to share the following with you.

This is a pile of books I checked out from the library this summer, all being books I wanted to peruse as ones I might want to purchase.

I love the library as I can put books on hold from the comfort of my living room, simply copy and pasting from where I place hold in Amazon when things are recommended. These all became available together.

G thought Guess Again and Where Is the Green Sheep? were delightfully silly, re-reading them often.

I purchased It's a Book and Max's Words for my classroom. If I was teaching the American Revolution and doing the Living Museum from that timeframe  Louisa would be a must.

The following are pictured above, from left to right.

Big Words for Little People By Jamie Lee Curtis

Guess Again! by Mac Barnett and Adam Rex

  2. I read (and reviewed) Sam Bangs and Moonshine sometime last year - found it in a booksale. It's a Book is hilarious. Thanks for sharing all these titles.
