This week was a fairly good reading week. I managed to read four books this week, including one that I think might find itself on a fair amount of award lists come the end of the year. If you haven't discovered the wonder of Wonder by RJ Palacio yet, get this book and read it NOW!
Here's what I read last week:
28. Luminous by Dawn Metcalf (finished 2/14) Haunting story of a girl trapped between life and death.
29. Wonder by RJ Palacio (finished 2/16) OMG, so GOOD! Buy this one! Watch for a review this week.
30. On the Volcano by James Nelson (finished 2/17) Historical fiction about a girl raised on a volcano. She hunts, she rides, she finds love.
31. Home Front by Kristin Hannah (finished 2/19) Grown-up novel by one of my favorite authors. The story of a mom in a rocky marriage who is deployed to Iraq. Good stuff.
I'm not sure how much I'll get read this week, since I'll be preparing for a week out of town. I'm trying to figure out the best way to write a week's worth of sub plans!

I really want to read Steampunk Poe, I haven't read much steampunk...I think only Incarceron which might not even count as steampunk. Where have I been? There are just too many books. Hopefully you'll have time to catch up on books on your trip!
ReplyDeleteI just looked at Homefront at the grocery yesterday. It looks good. And I believe most on this meme read Wonder last week. You all are making me jealous. I'm on my way to my local bookstore Wed. & will definitely buy this one! Thanks for telling about all.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to read your Wonder review this week:)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and I'm VERY excited... I'm high-school librarian and love to see what others are reading and what they think!
ReplyDeleteI've just started "Fever" by Lauren DeStefano - did you read "Wither"? Loved it... and I can't wait to read "Pandemonium" the sequel to "Delirium" by Lauren Oliver.... it's next on the list.
Will try to get through my pile during our upcoming Spring Break.
