It's Monday! What are you reading? is the original weekly meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. It's Monday! What are you reading? - from Picture Books to YA is a kidlit focused meme just like the original and is hosted weekly by Teach Mentor Texts. The purpose is the same: to recap what you have read and/or reviewed and to plan out your reading and reviews for the upcoming week.
This week I hope to finish and review
1- Born Confused by Tanuja Desai Hidier
And I hope to read
1- The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher by Dana Alison Levy
2- The Life and Time of Benny Alvarez by Peter Johnson
3- Five, Six, Seven, Nate by Tim Federle
WOW, I just realized I have no picture books or nonfiction for the week. I'll have to fix that!
Last week, I read and reviewed
1- Every Day is Malala Day by Rosemary McCarney
3- The Comic Book War by Jacqueline Guest
4- I Survived #4 I Survived the Bombing of Pearl Harbor by Lauren Tarshis
1- Better Nate Than Ever by Tim Federle (which I loved)
What are you reading this week?
The Misadventures of the Family Fletcher sounds excellent. I may have to recommend that one to my son! Have a good week of reading!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great reading week! I have the whole I Survived series that I bought through Scholastic Reading Club this year. I need to get to those books. I am thinking that they will probably be good ones for reluctant readers. The Nate books look great also...so many books out there to read! Have a great reading week!
ReplyDeleteI loved both Nate titles. Such a great character. The Family Fletcher title looks like a book I would like for my classroom collection. I'll be curious to see what you think.
ReplyDeleteI was very interested in the Every Day is Malala Day so I checked out your review. Needless to say, I finished it in tears. What a powerful video and talk about girl power! I admire her courage.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the middle of the first Nate book--need to get back to it and finish it. I was very intrigued by your review of Every Day Is Malala Day--need to look for that one.
ReplyDeleteThe I Survived series is such a wonderful series to have in the classroom! Gets kids reading historical fiction as it isn't too "scary."
ReplyDeleteI want to read Every Day even more now. Beautiful review!
Nate is also on my list.
Happy reading this week! :)
My students really dove deeply into the "I Survived" series this year - had a hard time keeping them on the shelf!
ReplyDeleteI've just finished Five days at memorial, very distressing in places and not really a holiday read, but at least I had time to finish it! Catching up with favourite blogs today.
ReplyDeleteHello there Alex, I gave my daughter a copy of Better Nate than Ever, which I am fairly certain she would fall in love with, but we haven't gotten around to reading it yet. She's still on a Harry Potter fix and is in Book Five in the series. Glad to see so many books featured here, Alex. Thank you so much for sharing.
