It's Monday! What are you reading? Picture Books to YA - 12/31/12


It's Monday! What are you reading? is hosted by Sheila of Book Journey. Jen & Kellee from Teach Mentor Texts have adapted this to focus on Picture Books to Young Adult Books.

I've been trying to catch up on my end of 2012 reading...


The Goblin Secrets by William Alexander - Magic, adventure, witches, goblins, and steampunk - an enjoyable, fast read.


Out of Reach by Carrie Arcos - Arcos' debut novel draws you in and gives readers a look at the life of a drug addict from the perspective of a family member. 


Hereville: How Mirka Met a Meteorite by Barry Deutsch - A fun follow-up to Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword.


Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo - I have been meaning to read this for months.  For fans of high fantasy.

I am reading this one slowly...


Writing About Reading: From Book Talk to Literary Essays, Grade 3-8 by Janet Angelillo - Thanks Donalyn for the recommendation.

So, what are you reading?

  2. Writing about Reading looks like something I'd definitely love. Will look for that one. Seems like it would be handy as well for the conference presentations I have this year. :) Hereville also looks nice.
