I got a lot read this past week and am excited about a few other books for this upcoming week! And then, next Monday, all heck breaks loose as Summer Reading officially begins! (I’m not quite ready yet!) Anyway, this week I read The Detective’s Assistant by Kate Hannigan – a historical…

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? 6/1/2015
Last week was madness as Memorial Day was Monday, I worked Tuesday and Wednesday, went up to BookExpo America on Thursday and traveled to an out-of-state wedding Friday-Sunday. Thankfully, sitting in airports and on airplanes leaves me with a lot of time to read! I read The Honest Truth by Dan Gemeinhart,…

My First BEA
Last year, right after BookExpo America (BEA) was over, I was talking to a co-worker and mentioned that I’d love to go, she was in agreement so we decided to trek to NYC for BEA this year. Unfortunately, due to scheduling, we’ll only be able to go for just Thursday,…

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? 5/11/2015
Last week was an insanely busy week and I got very little reading done. On top of that, I grabbed The Key That Swallowed Joey Pigza by Jack Gantos as an audio CD to listen to on my way to a meeting and about an hour in, I realized that although…

Book Review: Roller Girl
I’ll admit this first, before going into my review… I’m not a huge fan of graphic novels. I love the idea of graphic novels and I’m a huge supporter of providing graphic novels to kids and their great benefits, but they are not my favorite genre. I’m pretty sure my…

I buckled down last week and got a lot of reading done! I read Rutabaga: The Adventure Chef by Eric Colossal, I’m excited to see the published copy as the ARC was not in full color. It was a super cute idea and I loved the recipes at the end of the…

Book Reviews and Reviewers
I love books, it’s pretty simple and I love talking to other people who love books too, especially the same types of books – middle grade and young adult books. Every year, I attend the Kutztiwn Children’s Literature Conference held at Kutztown Univeristy. They bring in 3-4 authors and illustrators…

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? 4/20/15
I’ve decided that if I had another eight hours in a day I’d be able to get a lot more done – four extra hours of work/play and four extra hours to sleep would be perfect! Last week I didn’t get as much reading done as I wanted to, hence…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 4/13/15
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to all the reading I wanted to last week. So, I definitely want to read Mark of the Thief this week (it’s the only one I didn’t get to this week), other than that, I’m going to read The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt. Somewhere…
