Chompsticks Mission Complete

By -

I invited you to come along on my silly Chompsticks journey just over a week ago. I went with a "geeky Chompsticks" theme this year. I tried to give each day a different twist, tying in my shirt and book choice.

Early Start - Hogwarts theme to honor Harry Potter's birthday.
My boys had a great time getting into the spirit of this wizarding event.









UntitledThe official start date was a Thursday - so of course we needed to make this one Star Wars themed!

















UntitledFriday was dedicated to comics! My shirt is a fun mashup of Firefly and Calvin and Hobbes.













UntitledSaturday younger and I brought out some superhero comics and shirts. Captain Marvel rocks!


Sunday was extra special, since my younger son and I got to learn the identity of the actor who will play the 12th Doctor. We made a day of it (and I'll share more details another day), but we also made sure to wear our Doctor Who shirts and use our blank River Song journal as our book.

Monday got a little crazy, and I barely got a photo in before the end of the day. Still, science fiction and fantasy ruled the roost. I've only read the first story in the Guys Read anthology, but I'm looking forward to the rest of it!
















UntitledDon't you just love this shirt? It's been just over a year since the Curiosity Rover landed on Mars, so today was dedicated to human ingenuity. I'm just all worn out from lots of busy activity during the day.

Last but not least - Nerdy Book Clubbers love math too!














I always enjoy coming up with my own quirks for events like this. Great fun! Be sure to join in with your own photos next year!

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. 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...
