It's Monday! What Are You Reading? August 5, 2013

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? From Picture Books to YA!

These memes were started by Teach Mentor Texts and Book Journeys, to inspire readers to share books they have read and will be reading. I have found many of my current reads by following bloggers participating in It’s Monday! What are you reading? Be sure to check out their sites for more information on what they are reading, and learn how to participate.

Last Week’s Favorites:

It's been a busy week, so instead of writing reviews I'm just going give each book a star rating.  As usual, ignore the crazy spacing and font.  I just can't seem to figure out what blogger is thinking, so I'm just going to go with what it shows (at least until I have the time and patience to understand the crazy formatting).

  2. Chains was a great book! The author lives close by and my students thought it was really neat when I showed them where she likes to spend time writing. Very cool!
