My Monday posts are generally just a highlight of what I've been reading during the week so if you'd like to see all that I've been reading, follow my Goodreads page.

Last week I also finished reading:
How It Went Down by Kekla Magoon
I have a review scheduled to post for this book tomorrow, but the quick review is that booktalking this one before Christmas break caused a lot of 8th graders to fight over who got to take it home and read it over break.
Currently reading:
When I Was the Greatest by Jason Reynolds
Currently and still reading with my ears:
Blackbird by Anna Carey
Five, Six, Seven, Nate! by Tim Federle
What interesting books, great selection. I would love to hear Five, Six, Seven, Nate! I read the book and loved it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely want to get X and How It Went Down for my class. I loved Better Nate Than Ever, so know I will enjoy this next adventure. Have a lovely holiday, Beth.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your review for How it Went Down. It sounds compelling... and timely!
ReplyDeleteI was a little surprised to see my copy of How it Went Down sitting on the shelf. In light of so many recent events it seems like this should be a hot commodity. I am going to take it home so I can talk it up soon. Thanks for sharing! ~Megan

Enjoy Five, Six, Seven Nate! I loved reading both Nate titles.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a wise selection here. I met Federle at NCTE and have ordered his books - on my winter break TBR pile!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your review of How It Went Down. I've bought it but probably won't get to it until 2015. Same with When I Was the Greatest. Loved meeting Jason Reynolds at NCTE!
ReplyDeleteYou are reading/finished some of the books I cannot wait to read from ALAN. Both How it and When I was look phenomenal. I also really want to read X! There are so many books that I want to read!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays, and happy reading this week! :)
I was pumped to see your social media posts about How it Went Down. It is next on my list! I can't wait to hear what you think about the Jason Reynolds book. I want to read it too!
ReplyDeleteAND I was psyched to see the giveaway. I planned to order X, so I am hoping to win it! I never enter book giveaways, but this one seems very special. Come onnnn, rafflecopter!
The Palm of my Heart looks absolutely beautiful. :)
