Once again, the boys are on the ball! "It's Thursday mom, can we do THIRSTday?" Check out David Etkin's site - Eat The Book -for more THIRSTday fun.

So, here we go!

Older: 
We just got Poseidon by George O'Connor (I tweeted but didn't blog our Treat Tuesday this week), so the boys insisted I bring home the others in the series for them to reread.
"In this book they show the war with the titans from Zeus's point ofview. This book has a great storyline and amazing pictures"

Younger:
Both boys blew through and really enjoyed 13-Story Treehouse - coming out in mid April.
(Goodreads Link here, so you can add it to your TBR list!) 
I chose it because it is very funny, like catenarys. (Apparently there are flying cats, which cracked both boys up. I haven't read it myself yet, because both boys snagged it out of my pile.)

Me: 
Still loving The Girl from Felony Bay and also reading The Secret of Zoom.
Don't miss the adorable and hysterical picture book - I Hate Picture Books! Check out Timothy Young's site http://www.ihatepicturebooks.com/

(ARCS from the publishers - Girl from Felony Bay and 13-Story Treehouse)



UntitledAnd a bonus photo - Books in the Wild! I had promised myself no more buying books until I've read some of the multitude I already own... but I broke down. It's all Yoda's fault.

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...

Keep it Like a Secret by John David Anderson Blog Tour

Once again, I'm thrilled to read and review a new John David Anderson middle grade novel - even in the craziness that accompanies the end of a school year! About the Book (from the publisher) From the first moment Morgan can remember, Claire has always been there. Big sister and little brother. Cat and Mouse. They’ve always understood each other, saved each other, seen each other. And they stuck to their own personal code, unwritten but understood, that siblings were inseparable, that they had each other’s backs, no matter what. At least, they used to. Somewhere along the line, things between them shifted. Claire started fighting more with Mom, storming out of the house, spending more and more time away, and Morgan felt his sister and best friend slipping away. Now he spends nearly every night sitting awake in his room, waiting for the sound of her key in the lock. It’s a sound he hasn’t heard in nearly a week, ever since her and Mom’s worst fight ever. So when Claire finally calls...
