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 will catch up and then it will be a week at a time. First, here is what I have read, thus far, in February.

  1. I've heard a lot about "A Monster Calls" - now I need to find it in my local library. Do you think that the Deak book would work for middle school?

  3. Ditto on A Monster Calls. I agree that it should be in school libraries, but think students might benefit from a booktalk for it, too. I'd like to know what you thought of Ballad: A Gathering of Faerie? Thanks for the list!
