Treat Tuesday Triple Scoop

It's Treat Tuesday! 

Today I decided to get my kids in on the fun. They were absolutely excited about the idea once I mentioned there would be treats involved. 

Thanks to Niki at Daydream Reader for getting this fun one started. Join in by blogging or just tweeting your treats. (#TreatTuesday)




Our First Dish:
Poppy and Rye - by Avi. My youngest is reading this one as part of an author study in school. He read Poppy first, and then eagerly started diving into the rest of the series. He's not quite sure why some of his friends aren't as excited by this series as he is. He LOVES them! He even wrote about the book on Biblionasium: "Poppy and Rye (with his family) find a way to force the beavers away from Rye's family's house. In the meantime Rye is also trying to hide that he is trying to fight for Poppy's love." 
UntitledAccompanied by: Cookies and Cream ice cream with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and chocolate jimmies. 


Our Second Dish:
Inheritance - by Christopher Paolini. My older son wanted me to mention that the book is "exactly 849 pages". I think he comes by his love for long books honestly. My Slice of Life post today discusses my love for the Wheel of Time series. 
Accompanied by: Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream with the same toppings as his brother. (Thing 2 hates peanut butter - go figure)

Final Scoop:
Geeks, Girls, and Secret Identities - by Mike Jung
This is my new Batty About Books choice with Kathy. Delightful news - Library Fanatic will also be joining us for this read! Check back Saturday for our first discussion. 
Accompanied by: Moose Tracks ice cream with the same toppings.

I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Just Harriet - by Elana K. Arnold! ABOUT THE BOOK (From the publisher) From the award-winning author of A Boy Called Bat comes a new young middle grade series in the tradition of Ramona and Clementine, starring an unforgettable girl named Harriet. There are a few things you should know about Harriet Wermer: She just finished third grade. She has a perfect cat named Matzo Ball. She doesn’t always tell the truth. She is very happy to be spending summer vacation away from home and her mom and dad and all the wonderful things she had been planning all year. Okay, maybe that last one isn’t entirely the truth. 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. The Only and Only Ivan , The
