I've heard many good things about Counting by 7s. The Raven Boys is also next on my list as I feel that it's perfect for our current bimonthly theme. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-22325003625189328892013-09-17T09:32:51.937-04:002013-09-17T09:32:51.937-04:00I loved Sarah Dessen's new book.

I'm getting ready to start Me Before You by JoJo Moyes (for book club). I'm trying to finish up Endangered (so we can talk about it), and I'm ready to start the new Kathi Appelt book. YAY!

I am a Sharon Creech fan but have not read The Boy on the Porch so looking forward to that one. I just finished Rump - and can't wait to read it to my class. I'm thinking my boys, in particular, will really enjoy the humor. Just started reading Counting By 7's and enjoying it very much. A bit old for my grade 4's but would be a great book for 6/7/8th grades. Thanks, Holly!

I recently checked out Heaven is For Real for my mom and she loved it and shared it with so many people. Her taste usually run to your dad's as she likes a good Louie Lamour western. I recently finished the sequel to The Raven Boys but would have liked to have had the audio version to get a better sense of characters and emotion. I am a fan of audio books or this reason.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722301148509372483noreply@blogger.com
