Summer Reading UPdate

Time to reflect and post out (more!)...

My reading has slowed down some this summer...which is just so odd sounding to me...as summers are usually when I really dive into reading.

Why the change?  More online learning.  Definitely.

Here's a list of my summer titles (end of May? - thru - Now):
    34. Two Weeks by Karen Kingsbury
    35. A Diamond in My Pocket by Lorena Angeli (Student Book Club - ebook)
    36. Second Chance Ranch by Liz Isaacson
    37. All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiley
    38. Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano (ALA Book Club)
    39. The Book Club by Mary Alice Monroe
    40. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (WRLC Book CLub)
    41. Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue (Lyon College Book Club)
    42. The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George
    43. Evolving Learner by Lainie Rowell, Kristy Andre, Lauren Steinmann (BookCampPD)
    44. Stamped by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi (ALA Book Club)

*Books in bold are books I owned...did not purchase this year.

**Am reading more ebooks!  Go, me!

Time to Reflect:

First, my student online book club is still meeting...and we have grown by a few...awesome!  So far, the students have chosen ebooks, mainly because they are free.  Sweet!  We are currently reading a series that contains four books, which I am really enjoying, as I am NOT allowing myself to read ahead; therefore, making predictions has been awesome!  

Yes, many of my reads are for book clubs.   Have I mentioned lately that I love book clubs?!  But.  I have noticed that because I am involved in several that self-selection is down. Then, mix in that with more online learning.  Hummm...how to blend that more?
  • Favorite read (from this list): Dear Reader
  • Longest read:  Little Women
  • Challenged My Thinking:  Stamped
  • Thematic Connection (Books!):  Book Club and Little Paris Bookshop
  • Favorite Series:  Cursed (my only series...but...a good one for young adults!)
What have you been reading?  Please share!

Happy reading!
