Books Students are Loving

So, it dawned on me that it might be a good idea to share some titles that students have enjoyed this year. In my last post I mentioned Hunger Games, which was a big, fly of the shelf hit. The sequel, Catching Fire has been pretty popular too. Some other books that students have loved include: The Lovely Bones by Alice Siebold, St. Iggy by K.L. Going and The Absolutely True Story of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. Each of these books offer lots to talk about and plenty of entertainment. Check one out today!

Day 1 - What? Who? Huh?

So...this is a blog, huh? Well, we'll have to see just how this works. Let's start with some book commentary.

The best YA book I've read all year is, hands down, Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I'm so excited to recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It's got great characters, action, romance, suspense and surprises. It kept me on the edge of my seat, literally. As I was nearing the end of the book, I was supposed to be deplaning from a 6 hour flight, but I just wanted to keep reading! I'm looking forward to the sequel Catching Fire. Check it out!
