I have two weeks worth of reading to update, since my trip to ALA last weekend wore me out enough that I didn't get a Monday post done.
Don't forget to hop over to Teach Mentor Texts and Unleashing Readers to check out more #IMWAYR posts!

You can tell I've had a wonderful few days of reading, because my wrist is now really sore. All that "holding books open" does a number on me! Can that count as my exercise for the week?
What counts for my #MustReadin2014 and #CORL challenge?

Just a few more to share....
Seven Stories Up just released - and it is one to put on your middle grade shelves! A little bit historical fiction, a little bit magical realism... and a whole lot of spunky girl adventure. Get it!
Qwikpick Papers- an ARC I grabbed while meeting Tom Angleberger last weekend. There aren't any Star Wars references, but there are tons of poop jokes. Kids are gonna eat it up... er.... ewwww....
Wolf Brother - one of the books on my class Battle of the Books list. I loved the peek at ancient times, mixed with some magic. If you have students who like survival books OR magic... this is a great one to get them to expand their horizons.
Planet Kindergarten - not out yet, but an adorable picture book about heading off to kindergarten... in space! I loved how it had tons of science fiction elements but was still a strong contender for getting kids to be less worried about that big step.
City of Fallen Angels - a fun read. I actually liked this one more than some of the earlier books. I adore Simon.
I got the chance to interview the author of one of my earlier "Must Reads" - the Lost Planet - on release day. http://www.mariaselke.com/2014/01/interview-with-rachel-searles-author-of.html
Crystal Brunelle and I posted some mouth-watering bookish treats at the Nerdy Book Club site.
