What's next???
I'm not certain right now.  I start school with 3 days of PD tomorrow so I will be pretty busy.  I have The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom to read, but I also just ordered 4 books that are due to come in the mail tomorrow so who knows?

  1. The Doll Bones has received great reviews - it's somewhere on my TBR pile and I hope to get to it before school begins.

  3. Gigi, I would love to get my cold fingers on Doll Bones but my public library is so slow and I don't really like their picks. I really need those first two book themed books. I have been featuring books with reading or library themes on my shelves the first week of school and I love the collection I have built up by now you have made me see that I need more! Great titles too. Have good PD days!

    1. Hi Julee, Do you have a library that is part of the Minerva network. The town where I work does. It is a great database that gets requested books to me in record time.

  4. Ooh, I NEED Ms. Brooks Loves Books for some of my kiddos who are convinced they do not like reading! Good luck with your start- I read almost nothing this week because of my start.

  5. I <3 a good Oliver Jeffers.

    Doll Bones was sadly eerie. An interesting mix of realistic fiction and ... ghost stories. Would they be fantasy?

    Anyway. Happy reading!

  6. Hi there Gigi, I'm excited to read Doll Bones as well, hope to find it in our libraries for our next bimonthly theme. The View from Saturday is an absolute favourite - kind of reminds me of Surviving the Applewhites as well by Stephanie Tolan. :) So nice to see the book-themed picture books you shared, we had that bimonthly theme several months back. I didn't know about Miss Brooks Loves Books! That would have been a great add-in to our list. :) Thanks for sharing all these.

  7. The poetry book looks delightful Gigi. I have Doll Bones-still not high on my list-too many others will be first. I will try to get that poetry book though. Hope your first week back is good!
