Waiting On Wednesday 5/22/13

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where you highlight one book that you can't wait to hit the bookshelves!

I can't wait for June 4th to pick up The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau. Check out the book trailer:

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Reading!

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?! 5/20/13

It's Monday! What are you Reading? is a meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journeys. I heard about it from the Teach Mentor Texts blog, which puts a "Picture Books to YA" twist on it. I like to post my MG/YA, adult, and professional reads here!

Last Week I Dived Into...
Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen.

I also finished Jo Nesbo's Nemesis.

 

This Week I'm Diving Into...

On Little Wings by Regina Sirois. Our librarian is setting up a Skype with our students and Regina to kick off summer reading. Can't wait to share this one! Check out Regina's website for more about On Little Wings!

For adult reads, I am reading The Dinner by Herman Koch for our adult book club.

And professionally, I'm still getting into Book Love by Penny Kittle.

What are you getting into this week?

Happy Reading!

It's Thirst Day! 5/16/13

Thirst Day is a meme started by Dave Etkin over at Eat the Book. He's got all kinds of fun stuff over there!

I'm not sure if the bike on the cover made me think of exercise, which made me think of sipping something healthy, but we are drinking a V8 with today's read, Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen. Check out Sarah talking about Along for the Ride below:

 

 

Happy Reading (and sipping)!

Last Week I Dived Into...
Sever (Chemical Garden #3) by Lauren Destefano. I love finishing trilogies, and this was a beautiful one.

I also finished Pathways to the Common Core by Lucy Calkins, Mary Ehrenworth, and Christopher Lehman. This is a must-read for all k-12 ELA teachers and literacy leaders.

 

This Week I'm Diving Into...

Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen. Sarah visited our school last week, and it was fabulous. Sarah was fabulous, our girls in the audience were fabulous, and the organization and planning by our librarian was fabulous. Check out Sarah's The Friday Five blog about her visit here.

For adult reads, I am reading another mystery from my favorite crime novel writer, Jo Nesbo called Nemesis.

And professionally, I'm starting Book Love by Penny Kittle. I can't think of a better way to end the school year than with this read!

What are you getting into this week?

Happy Reading!
