I am very excited about Roller Girl - heard so many wonderful things about it! Boats for Papa is one I am also wanting to read. Douglas Florian is one of my top favorite poets and this one looks amazing! Also great for instructional writing! My son loved The Young Elites but I haven't read it yet. I loved your story about winning the art and the book looks amazing. I also loved The Rose Project - so many LOL moments. Haven't read the sequel yet - but it's in my pile! Kate Messner can do no wrong in my eyes - love everything she writes! Thanks, Holly!

And I loved the Legend books, and am happy to hear how much you enjoyed The Young Elites too. Marie Lu is someone to watch for for a long time. The picture books look great too-lots to love all through the post.

Thanks for some great information on a ...Hi, Holly! Thanks for some great information on a LOT of titles. I've read Roller Girl and The Ranger in Time books (Kate's historical research on these and the content included in the books is fantastic!) I loved reading your story about Lion, Lion. I'm going to have to check that one out! When I read YA, it's usually for my own enjoyment, as I don't teach kids higher than 5th grade-- gifted readers--but not always ready for mature themes. I've heard so much great stuff about When I Was the Greatest, but the cover HAS always bothered me! Your comments have convinced me to read it! Finding time to read books for grown-ups seems so rare, but I'm really intrigued by The Rosie Project. Thanks again for some great ideas. Happy reading this week!virginiagphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15101453535326198672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-45833524134410669462015-07-27T17:23:45.911-04:002015-07-27T17:23:45.911-04:00You've been busy.
