Time for Treat Tuesday! 

My boys and I have some fun books to share today...

And don't forget to stop by Daydream Reader's site for a lovely spring break reading post.




UntitledYounger: Stink The Incredible Shrinking Kid.
Once again, my sons are so very lucky! I won a complete set of Stink books during my Slice of Life challenge this year - and they arrived today.
"I chose this book because I think it's funny stink thought he shrunk"

Older: Insignia
Kathy and I used this as our Batty book a few months ago. I won an ARC of book 2, and so I got Insignia back out from the library so my son could read them both. He read Insignia in a day and then started in on Vortex. 
In Insignia the government uses teenagers in WW3 to control ships. Tom is a avid gamer and someone is watching him. He is invited to join a training facility. From then on he is going to train to be a combatant. I liked this book because of its plot twists and fast paced action.

Me: 
The Colossus Rises - is my current Batty About Books selection. Kathy and I discussed our impressions about the cover art and linked to the book trailer and other information on Saturday. Check back this Saturday for our discussion of the first third of the book! 
Aliens on Vacation - a fun light read that I started today. It's an intergalactic bed and breakfast run by David's grandmom. What could go wrong?

I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Just Harriet - by Elana K. Arnold!

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

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.
