In My Mailbox (52)

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by The Story Siren, inspired by Pop Culture Junkie. The books you share do not have to be ones you actually received in the mail. They can be ones you bought at the book store, checked out at the library, or downloaded to your e-reader. The idea is just to share what's on your TBR pile for the upcoming week.

Bought at my library's used book store:

The Monsters of Morley Manor by Bruce Coville
Lord of the Nutcracker Men by Iain Lawrence
Ashes by Kathryn Lasky
No More Dead Dogs by Gordon Korman
The Night Journey by Kathryn Lasky
Love, Ruby Lavender by Deborah Wiles
The Thief by Megan Whelan Turner
Dragonwings by Laurence Yep
Angel on the Square by Gloria Whelan

Library loot:

Picture books:
 
Prudence Wants a Pet by Cathleen Daly, illustrated by Stephen Michael King

I had awesome class discussions with my 6th graders about these two books this week. Proof, once again, that just because kids grow up, doesn't mean you should stop reading to them!

America Is... by Louise Borden, illustrated by Stacey Schuett
The Wall by Eve Bunting, illustrated by Ronald Himler

Cookbook:

French Classics Made Easy by Richard Grausman
