Treat Tuesday - Dragons & Black Holes & Heroes - Oh my!

By -

It's Treat Tuesday! A wonderful excuse to share what we are reading at the Selke lair. The boys love this, especially because it means they get to eat a treat.

Thanks to Niki at Daydream Reader for this weekly theme - be sure to hop onto Twitter and look for the tag #TreatTuesday.

A bigger photo today so you can see what the older is reading with his ears.

Younger:
The Son of Neptune - this is actually what he and I are reading at night. We are so close to being done, so he wanted to share it with you all.

Older:
Dragon Rule by E.E. Knight (from the Age of Fire series) He's listening to this one, since we had the first four on our kindle app but didn't have the fifth. He's a bit of a dragon fan at the moment, having read this series, Eragon, and the D'Lacey dragon books.

Me: George's Secret Key to the Universe. (Yes, that IS Hawking listed as the author - Stephen and his daughter Lucy teamed up for this title). I haven't started it yet. I've been busy writing the THREE posts that go live today AND one for tomorrow!


Okay, I have to share this....

UntitledHow sweet is that? He also commented on how he loves the Lightning Thief series now. He's reading it because we are reading the Hero's of Olympus series together. Say it with me now... awwwwww.

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.
