It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

The bad news is that I had a research paper and didn't get to read very much this week. The good news is that it won't take very long to write this post. :)

I did not finish any Caldecotts or Newberys this week, but I did get to finish a 2011 Nerdie nominee, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. What a surprise this one was. The only thing I knew about it was that it was a young adult book, but was certainly a twisty mind bender. I had a very hard time putting it down.

I also read the middle grade historical fiction book Bird in a Box. The storyline was compelling. The only trouble that I had was that sometimes I had a hard time distinguishing between the two boys' voices. I did enjoy it though.

The only other book I managed to read was Green. This picture book is just beautiful and clever. I love how the illustrations blend from page to page. I know I will read this one many times.

For the coming week:
For the Newbery Challenge, I am almost finished with Roller Skates so I will finish that and start The White Stag. I will also dive into Fake Mustache after finally getting it in the mail today!!! Excited. I have Unwanteds sitting here and Remarkable too. With my class finishing up, I am looking forward to some nice reading time. Have a great week!
