There are so many book lists on social media! This lazy day was a long, leisurely look into book lists. I am most interested in those lists that may challenge me in the next few months of school. “We Need Diverse Books,” “Unputdownable Books,” “Recommended Picture Books for Older Readers,” and “2017 Releases From Latinx Authors To Add To Your TBR…” all caught my attention.
Now I’m sitting here, staring at my mail from Barnes and Noble and deciding which books to buy with my 25%-off coupons. Tough decisions ahead. It’s the weekend, though. I’ll enjoy it!
I write about literacy education and my love for reading and writing. My passion is sharing titles I use for school libraries, classroom collaborations, and professional development. My goal is to collaborate, research, and share with other life-long literacy learners. Welcome to my blog!
I just read Bridge to Brilliance. And if you are into historical fiction, you need to read Blood on the River. Best historical fiction book about the founding of Jamestown.
I found a new (to me) author, Paula McLain. She wrote The Paris Wife, about Hemingway. I loved reading it, so for my next book I selected Circling the Sun, also written by Paula. It is different, written about Africa at a time when social mores were much different. I’m not sure about recommending it.
The book list bring joy and headache at the same time. Making choices is challenging with many wonderful titles in front of you. I am currently reading Black Dove, White Raven – keeps me reading.

What a great way to spend the day! I have a credit with Amazon that I’m trying to figure out how to spend, so I know what you mean:)
