Treat Tuesday - Phone Home

By -
I had a big brainstorm about the kind of candy I want to showcase with my books today, but of course I didn't have them at home. No worries, just a quick jaunt out to grab some candy on the way to work!

If you want to participate in #TreatTuesday - it's super easy. Just snap a photo with your chosen treat and a book you'd like to show off. Post it to your blog or just tweet it out with the tag!





Thanks to @NikiOhsBarnes at Daydream Reader for this fun idea.

Two books today -

Maniac Magee as part of my Newbery Challenge (I'm listening to it through my Audible app)

The Fellowship for Alien Detection by Kevin Emerson. This is an ARC and the book comes out in February. Very fun so far!



Can you figure out why I chose the two candies that are in the photo? I had to cheat a little, because the store didn't have any Mars Bars!

Of course, there’s nothing Harriet doesn’t like about Marble Island, the small island off the coast of California where her Nanu runs a cozy little bed and breakfast. And nobody doesn’t love Moneypenny, Nanu’s old basset hound. But Harriet doesn’t like the fact that Dad made this decision without even asking her. When Harriet arrives

Parent Book Club - Guest Post

Welcome, my friends, to my first ever GUEST POST! My fabulous school librarian (aka @ReaderRoberts ) decided to hold a parent's book club this year, to give parents ideas for getting kids reading. This past week she held the inaugural session, with a  "summer reading"  focus. Let us know what you think!  Parent Book Club - Summer Reading Sometimes your best ideas come to you in a flash.  That is how it was with the parents’ book club.  One afternoon I was sharing a title with a parent volunteer and she ended up checking the book out of the library. Nothing unusual. This happens frequently to all of us when we booktalk.  What was different was that when the parent returned the book she made the remark that I should share this book with everyone. You have probably guessed by now that the book was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Through the year I have shared many other great titles –many of them discovered through my PLN on Twitter.
