Last week I finished Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper. I really enjoyed the book and was glad it made it in my bag rather by accident. I wrote a slice about this one last week.
With it being the last week of school I am feeling pressured to make sure I don't leave a good book unopened. I hope to get through these this week along with the basket full I let them choose for our last week of read-alouds.
I must admit this one is as much for me as it is for them! This one is great for showing a small moment and I hope will inspire some summer stories from my kiddos before they leave my nest this week! I can't wait to get my toes in some sand.
Picked up the audio version of Same Sun Here. I look forward to listening in on these characters talk to each other.

ReplyDeleteI am reading Same Sun Here too! Really enjoying it. The Book Thief is great, but be prepared to cry. I haven't heard of Beach Feet or Bag in the Wind. I must check those out!

Same Sun Here & The Book Thief-both wonderful! Thanks for telling about the Katherine Boo book-I'll look for it, Betsy. It's our last week too. Have a terrific time! The Beach Feet looks so cute-wish I had an ocean trip in my near future but not this year.

I had a tough time starting The Book Thief, but then I got it on audio and it was a whole new story. The narrator is amazing and I found myself sitting in my driveway after work just to keep listening. All the praise is well deserved, I hope you enjoy it!

I have to get a hold of Beach Feet before we head to Maine this summer. That's going on my Amazon wish list right now!

Sooooo many great books! I love House Held Up By Trees and had to request Bag in the Wind from my library after reading it. Green was fun, my kids liked looking through the holes in the pages! I love The Book Thief. Wonderful book, loved the audio as well. AND Same Sun Here is one of my favorites from Candlewick this year. I love the relationship between Meena and River. Colby and I talked about it earlier this year on our blogs if you ever want to go back and look at them. :)

Wow! This looks like a great stack of books! I would love to get my hands on The Book Thief, Beach Feet, Bag in the Wind and House Held Up By Sticks! I just added them to my library list for next week. I look forward to hearing more about Same Sun Here! Do tell!
