I didn't do an It's Monday post last week because I was still at NCTE (recap here) so this post will be for the past two weeks.

Hi Beth, I am interested in hearing your thoughts about Billy Miller. I really loved Crankenstein. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI liked Billy Miller but I didn't love it. I can see why it's being considered for a Newbery. Henkes writes about such ordinary things in an extraordinary way, but it's not a book that will stick with me.
DeleteI'm going to be reading Billy Miller this week...
DeleteI almost picked up The Beginning of Everything at the library the other day and then decided I wouldn't have time for yet another novel - so will be curious to see what you think. I still need to get to Crankenstein. What a cover!
ReplyDeleteI bought the Gallagher book at NCTE - can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Billy Miller to my younger son right now. Tried it with older son--he was bored and wanted to abandon it. I was a bit bored too. But younger son seems enthralled! Who can predict these things? I'm reading the new Laurie Halse Anderson too--love those ARCs at NCTE! How was Play? Haven't heard of it but it looks right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteCrankenstein looks cute. I have to start reading Kevin Henkes' novels. :) Have a great reading week!
