What Are You Reading Friends?
I've got to read Rump-so many people have enjoyed it! I love the two (very different) books you listened to this week, but I didn't hear either of their audio versions. Were they well done audios? Sometimes it can really skew my opinions of a book depending on a well read or not so well read audio. I've got a copy of The Real Boy upstairs (along with millions of other books I want to read). Don't forget to submit your reviews of 2013s for MSBA! :) Love your input!
ReplyDeleteYes, both audios were very good. On the Day I died was neat to listen to because of all the different characters narrating the story. Shadow on the Mountain was a good audio with all the accents etc. I keep forgetting to review books for MSBA. Do you want ONLY the books I think are really good or any 2013 middle grade/Ya book?
DeleteWoW! That is a TON of books. Rump caught my eye as something my sixth graders may like. I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Coffee Cups and Lesson Plans
Woah, you've been busy! I need to check out The Real Boy, Ursu is a wonderful writer.
ReplyDeleteI read Mo Willems latest this week, too. I love those little AHA! moments at the end of his books. And I love Shana Corey for empowering, historical female characters. Lots of good books on your list this week! Rump is next up for me!

I cannot wait to check out some of the picture books you listed above. There are MANY I haven't encountered before. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading, Gigi.
Thanks Stacey.
DeleteI REALLY want to read The Real Boy! I loved Breadcrumbs and have used it as a read aloud the past two years. Rump is also wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou read A TON! I have always enjoyed the Miss Malarkey books. =)
ReplyDeleteThis was my first Miss Malarkey book. She reminded me of all of us!
DeleteI really think Rump is a book for my daughter. It looks like a lot of fun. Wonderful picture books - on the look out for I Dare you not to Yawn!
ReplyDeleteYou seriously can not read it without getting sleepy :)
DeleteLove the idea of Miss Malarkey, and have Rump on my list from your earlier Goodreads mention. You did read a lot this week, Gigi. The Mo Willems is one I don't know either! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love having extra time to read in the summer! The Mo Willems book is his newest I believe. It is cute and has a surprise twist at the end.
ReplyDeleteYay for summer reading! I liked more Mo's latest non-Elephant/Piggie/Pigeon one more than I thought I would. It had me howling with laughter at the end! What'd you think of Shadow on the Mountain? And I'm really looking forward to Rump and The Real Boy!

I really enjoyed Shadow on the Mountain more than I thought I would. It is on my state list so I am trying to read as many as I can.
DeleteSo many books to comment on! First, love the Mo Willems book - it was so clever and I think it'd be so much fun to read with a class. Here Comes the Girl Scouts is also a brilliant picture book biography. I have not read the rest, but they look good. I also haven't read the others, but The Real Boy is also on my soon TBR and Rump looks great!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this week! :)
I have Rump on my TBR. I keep hearing good things about it. You seem to have found some fantastic picture books too! Your audio books look tempting also. So many books....
