It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 8/13/12

Sunday, August 12, 2012

Jen and Kellee host a weekly meme called "What Are You Reading? From Picture Books to YA." It encourages you to share what you read during the previous week and to plan what you're going to read/review during the current week. Thank you, Kelly and Jen, for hosting this fun meme.


The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee. By Tom Angleberger. Amulet Books, 2012. Interest level: grades 4-7.

I'm going to write a paragraph that would make Murky proud.

Folks, The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee is stooky. It's bolt. It's plastic dinosaurs and total rockets. Kids will shout, "Mr. Schu, you're right, it is amazing, wonderful, off the hook, fabulous, astonishing, terrific, extraordinary, jaw-dropping, and AWESOME."


I re-read the ten picture books featured in this video. You can skip to 3:40


Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman. By Marc Tyler Nobleman. Illustrated by Ty Templeton. Charlesbridge, 2012. Interest level: grades 4-7.

I will spend every waking moment working in my school library. I will most likely only finish one book this week.
