Public Library - I must say my local library is super fantastic when it comes to finding #Cybils nominated titles. Of course, these holds come faster than I can read! I have over 50 items checked out at the moment!

Lemony Snicket, redux - For some reason I'm loving this prequel series. It's less punny than the Series of Unfortunate Events and the story seems to progress faster also. The students don't seem as enthralled as I am sadly.

CYBILS - have come across some titles that I may have missed if it wasn't for the #cybils. Can't wait to purchase some of these titles for the school library. We are still furiously reading and assembling our own personal shortlists.

Off for more reading with my eyes and ears! Hop on over to TeachMentorTexts for more reading ideas!

  1. I got back in the game this week, too!

    I read the first of the new Lemony Snicket books, but wasn't that excited by it. I really want to read Princess in Black!

    1. Princess in Black was fun! I'm reading it to 1st graders later this week. Fingers crossed.

  2. I've been reading some good stuff about Princess in Black so I think I have to get it for our school library. The truth is of course, that Shannon Hale never fails to be impressive.

  3. Glad to see that Lemony Snicket has another book! Loved his Series of Unfortunate Events - and I think he's such a brilliant writer. :)
