Head over to Teach Mentor Texts for the It's Monday! What Are You Reading? round up.
I had a great reading week. Vacation and being in the car for 25+ hours helped! I've read some great books lately. I know I'll have far less time to read with school starting but glad to have read the books I did. Here are some of the great books I've read lately--love and recommend them all. Every single one was fabulous!
I just don't fit enough enough adult fiction so I made sure to do that on vacation last week. Both were great.
Landline
Where'd You Go, Bernadette: A Novel
In anticipation of Global Read Aloud in October, I reread
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
WOW! I have always loved this book but haven't read it for probably 6 years. Loved it even more this time and am excited to share it with kids as part of Global Read Aloud.
A heartbreaking book set in the Lower Ninth Ward during Hurricane Katrina. Love the main character of this one. A Must Read!
Upside Down in the Middle of Nowhere
A novel in verse that is set in Guatemala during the civil war. A great book--I think this is probably intended for middle school.
Caminar
by Skila BrownA graphic novel (coming out in September) that I loved. Another Must Read!
El Deafo
by Cece Bell
Most happy to see you loved Landline, Franki. I've been wondering... I have Caminar, definitely will get to it soon. Glad it was a good week!
ReplyDeleteLots of those titles are ones I hope to get (back) to myself -- thanks for those recommendations.
ReplyDeleteI've got one to share: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Crying -- a very funny, very practical set of lessons learned by Carol Leifer during her four (occasionally down, never out) decades as a comic and writer.
Holy smoke! You DID get a lot of reading done--fun!
