This week was an awesome reading week.  I started book-a-day a bit early and have read over 50 books this past week.

          16 - nonfiction or informational text

            1 - poetry

            6 - Early Readers

          30 - picture books

            2 - MG graphic novel

Total

: 55 books 

Much of what I read this week has come from checking out the
