I love the concept of this blog for many reasons. I love reading all the posts and adding to my ever growing list of books to be read. I love being held accountable for the books I read. I love having a way to look back later at what I have read over the year. Apparently what I don't love is writing my posts on time. I will now cheat by simply listing what I have read since I last posted.
The White Queen by Phillippa Gregory- Historical fiction that is an easy, fun and slightly educational read.
The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznik- A recent Caldecott winner that everyone (and I mean everyone) should read. It is a novel and picture book combined. The story and the pictures are absolutely devine.
When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead- This year's Newberry winner. I really love young adult literature and this is another good one.
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeliene L'Engle- A classic that is referenced a ton in this year's Newberry. All I remember from my childhood is loving this book but had no memory of it. It was great, again.

Thanks for this, Stacey. I love YA too, and, after reading When You Reach Me, I also wanted to reread A Wrinkle in Time. It was one of my favorites as a kid, and I was afraid it wouldn't be the same reading it now. Now I'm going to have to read it again!
ReplyDeleteKim is having the same issues with enjoying the reading but not the posting.. i say just a short description of what you've read is plenty!! (and a thumbs up or down).. I see the blog as the 'deadline' i need to keep me on my book a week timeline..
