Thirstday celebration

By -

Started by David Etkin at Eat the Book, #THIRSTday is another quick and easy way to share books we love.


The boys decided to eat ice cream tonight instead of having ice cream (I'm a bad mom, but not THAT bad), but they still wanted to share some books with you!

Younger:
Deathly Hallows
He's not currently reading it (he is reading the Spiderwick series at the moment), but it's a constant favorite.

Older:
The One and Only Ivan
He finally read it Wednesday. Now all three of us have shared the love.

Me:
Star Wars and History - I haven't started it yet, but I'm looking forward to digging in!
The Girl from Felony Bay - I guess I don't read enough mystery, because this post is the first time I'm tagging a post with "mystery". Anyway, I've heard great things about this upcoming Walden Pond Press title and I'm excited to read it!

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.

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.
