It's Monday! What Have YOU Been Reading?

Welcome back for another exciting recap of my reading week!  Thanks to this meme, sponsored by Jen and Kellee over at TeachMentorTexts, I am guaranteed at least one blog post every week.  Lately, I'm good if I get that much written!  To say that I'm eager for school to be out and summer to begin is an understatement.  My to-read list is HUGE and growing by the day!


So here's what I've read this past week:

75.  The Iron Thorn by Caitlin Kittredge (finished 5/14) Steampunk dystopian set in the eastern US.  An enjoyable read.
76.  Secrets of a Summer Village by Saskia Akyil (finished 5/15) Teen romance set in a summer village in Turkey
77.  Under The Mesquite by Guadalupe Garcia McCall  (finished 5/16) Novel in verse about a girl grieving the loss of her mother.
78.  Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol (finished 5/16) Fun to read graphic novel.
79.  Orchards by Holly Thompson (finished 5/16) Novel in verse about a girl finding herself in her mother's village in Japan
80.  Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins (finished 5/19) Lighthearted romance set in the City of Light
81.  Hound Dog True by Linda Urban (finished 5/20) Touching story of a girl who finds her voice.

In the upcoming week, I plan to read:
  • Zita the Spacegirl by Ben Hatke
  • Fake Mustache by Tom Angleberger
  • Stick by Andrew Smith
  • Long Story Short by Siobhan Parkinson


In addition to my "fun" reading, I also have work to do for my grad class, so I'm not sure if I'll meet my reading goals or not. I know I'll certainly try, though!

Happy reading!

  1. I loved Fake Mustache - and so did my sons and all the students who have been lucky enough to get it from my classroom library. My son is taking that book today as his "birthday book" for his school library :)

  3. I checked out Stick from my library but didn't get around to reading it before it was due again. I'm eager to hear what you think! Zita the Spacegirl is fabulous. Like a Science Fiction Wizard of Oz.
