I've read so many books I can share with students and staff alike! It makes me almost ready for back to school. Almost.
Don't forget to visit the other bloggers for more top book fun!
Ugh, I'm not even CLOSE to being ready to go back to school! Unfortunately, that doesn't matter. :P
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I will definitely be picking up Seraphina! I'm also super excited for False Memory, I plan on buying it and getting it signed when I go to Austin Teen Book Festival. Lies Beneath also looks really fantastic!
My favorite read this summer has got to be Pushing the Limits, surprisingly. Loved that book to pieces. <3
I look forward to seeing what everyone read this summer! =)
I wish we had another week! Though I would like to get out before memorial day! You are lucky to live near so many festivals! I really enjoyed False Memory and can't wait to get it at school. Would be a nice book to read with Starters.
DeleteThese look great. I have been hearing nothing but great things about Liar and Spy and I'm dying to read it. I loved When You Reach Me. Thanks for the great list. I will give to my middle school daughter.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to imagine the same person wrote both because the voice is so different. Liar and Spy reminded me a lot of SLOB by Ellen Potter. One of my fave books. I loved how the mc draws you in and makes you only see what he sees. Stead is has talent.
