Was your box full of books a grab bag of titles, or geared towards a certain theme/age? Either way, that sounds like a fun undertaking!

Glad to know how much reading you've been doing. Last year, as part of the Hedwig Anuar committee of judges here in Singapore, I needed to read a box-filled with books, that was pretty awesome too. The Planet Thieves sounds like an interesting read. I enjoy science fiction, although like you, it's not really my go-to genre.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-14614716801255920992014-03-25T21:45:40.052-04:002014-03-25T21:45:40.052-04:00Illinois is a compilation, although most are curre...Illinois is a compilation, although most are current years.

Great variety, too, for all kinds of different readers. I'll be sharing the list with my Children's Lit and Adolescent Lit students this week. I'm sure it's a tremendous amount of work to put together, so thank you!Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185908392196878158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-15587959335633590732014-03-24T11:54:54.672-04:002014-03-24T11:54:54.672-04:00Hi Carrie,

I am going to sit down with some tea after school some night to catch up on all your posts! I think Larson's newest book is a sweet historical fiction. I've already been moved to tears a couple of times, and I am anxious to see how this story ends. I'm a big fan of hers also. Have a great week!Nicole L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16803189343078878170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-73234056313170767552014-03-24T11:50:36.745-04:002014-03-24T11:50:36.745-04:00Hi Michelle,

I'd love to see what is on your state list too!

Some really wonderful titles. How are you feeling? Hope all is well - from the picture, you are looking great! I want to read Wake up Missing - planning to borrow it from my son - it is currently on his shelf. I love Kirby Larson and have yet to read this title. I adored both Hattie books and I just adore Kirby as a person. I think she shares so much with the reading/teaching community!Carrie Gelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416480940951200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-70037808051278589192014-03-24T08:51:07.708-04:002014-03-24T08:51:07.708-04:00I love seeing what other states' lists look li...I love seeing what other states' lists look like. I'm from Illinois and it's always interesting to compare and see the similarities and differences. Maine has always put together a great reading list! <br />I have both the Messner and Larson book in my pile. It's just a really big pile right now! Will hopefully get to them soon. <br />Thanks for sharing!Michele Knotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087579707297009719noreply@blogger.com
