A much better reading week, if I do say so myself. Graphic novels help to ease me back into a regular reading schedule, and I anticipate that once Winter Break starts I'll get more reading done. I was also able to catch up with a few Capitol Choices nominees; it's nice that I have access to them at our monthly meetings.
Looking back, it was a nonfiction-heavy week, testament to the strong field of nonfiction books for kids out there right now. If you have any nonfiction recommendations, please share them.
[To rehash the concept :: post what you read last week, what you're reading now, and what you plan to read this week. If you have a review of the book(s), great! If you have a picture of the book(s), wonderful! If you have a book giveaway, fantastic! If you just list the title(s) of the book(s), not a problem! Make it as simple or as complex as you need it to be. At least, that's the message I got. This version of the meme is hosted by Jen and Kellee of Teach Mentor Text, which, in turn, was inspired by Sheila over at Book Journey, who hosts the original It's Monday! What Are You Reading?]
