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…

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? 5/4/2014
This week was a great week of reading! I got though a lot of awesome books and can’t wait to keep reading this week. I was able to read Dodger and Me by Jordan Sonnenblick. We’re excited to have Jordan visiting our library this summer and I’ll be offering a book…

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…

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…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 4/6/15
As promised from last week, I was able to finish both All the Answers by Kate Messner and Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. I’ll talk about both of these in individual posts – they were both that good! I also finished two adult books – The Goldfinch…

Book Review: "Greenglass House"
Let me start off by saying I kept putting this book off… for months. I had no idea what it was about, but for whatever reason, I wouldn’t crack the spine. And I’m so sorry I didn’t read it for so long! It’s a great mystery with unexpected surprises, quirky…

It's Monday, What Are You Reading? 3/30/2015
I’m actually in the middle of an adult book right now, crazy right? But, my coworker told me I just had to read The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. I have about a third of the book left and I’m really enjoying it so far. I love mysterious,…
