Welcome back for Treat Tuesday - a book and a treat!



Big thanks to Niki at Daydream Reader for starting this. It's even gotten my sons into the fun!







My boys have decided this is the perfect meme for them, so they joined me once again in sharing a book and a treat with us all.

Younger son: Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan. 
I have been reading the Heroes of Olympus series to him at night (we are on Son of Neptune). He tried Lightning Thief last year, but just wasn't ready. This time, he just took off. Even now, as I'm typing this, he's sitting at the kitchen table with a grin on his face. Every once in a while he'll pipe up with a funny line he just HAS to share. 

Older son: Crimson Rising by Nick James
This is the second book in the Skyship Academy series (yes, the book I'm sharing is the first). He insisted I start reading the series, since he enjoyed it so much. Since I was sharing the first book, he wanted to place the second in the picture.

My choice(s) 
The Pearl Wars by Nick James- book one that older son book talked me into reading. (I did like it, and hope to write it up for you. Great futuristic science fiction - YA)
I also have Extreme Babymouse and Pinned by Sharon G. Flake (for my Sports Book Book Gap Challenge)

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.
