I found it so addictive. Long, long, long but kept me interested. And definitely a creepy element! Couldn't read it right before bed without having it enter my thoughts and often making me turn the light back on and read to a lighter part!Carrie Gelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416480940951200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-39787224580469004002013-02-18T17:08:54.747-08:002013-02-18T17:08:54.747-08:00Postcards from Pismo has a 10 yr old main characte...Postcards from Pismo has a 10 yr old main character. It might work for you all. We also just got Don't Forget God Bless Our Troops, a picture book by Jill Biden. I haven't read it yet, but it has several good reviews on Good Reads.<br /><br />If I figure out a way to connect with you besides this, I could send one of my f&gs. I don't need all of them.

I am also reading quite a number of books at the same time. Challenging, tough, yet enjoyable too. I've been seeing a lot of Nick Lake's In Darkness and I am definitely intrigued - sounds like my kind of book. Jellicoe Road also looks like another challenging read, but sounds like it's worth it. :) Have a great reading week!GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-83221285961224377172013-02-18T16:58:02.886-08:002013-02-18T16:58:02.886-08:00With common core, many of our teachers have needed...With common core, many of our teachers have needed comparisons and this one is excellent.

Even though I teach second grade I enjoy reading all levels of books. In Darkness sounds excellent - I like learning a little history too while I read. My Mixed Up Berry Blue Summer may already be on my list, but I will be sure to get to it soon. I would like to see more younger level and middle grade books have LGBT characters with a great story! Do you think Postcards from Pismo would be a good read for second grade? In particular, I have a little girl in my class with a dad in Afghanistan.<br /><br />And I am jealous that you get to see advanced copies of books! I love picture books, so it would be exciting to see one unbound.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065788011011301246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-92116426607967413022013-02-18T08:57:48.298-08:002013-02-18T08:57:48.298-08:00What a reading week!

I could do a Netgalley request, but I have so many books already on my table to read that I'm just going to wait until it comes out.
