It's Monday, What Are You Reading #IMWAYR

Last week was a good week of reading. I read quite a few picture books and a couple chapter books. I'm working on report cards these days so any reading at all is a miracle. I'm grateful for any time I get.

Besides a picture book a day with my class, I have a feeling I will have to take it easy this week.

I plan to read The Memory Illusion, my book club's pick. I have been carrying it around for days. Time to actually crack it open!

I read a little of Healthy Body For Life every morning. I'm making changes slowly to take on a much healthier life. Besides, I know the author! She is amazing.

It's Monday. What are you reading?

I'm reading Wayside School is Falling Down for my Battle of the Books group at school. It's a fun and silly book.

The Memory Illusion is the is my book club book for this month. I'm really intrigued by the concept.

This week the CEO of the Calgary Public Library is having a book discussion about Badlands. I really want to go so I'm going to try to get this read this week.

#IMWAYR

These are our daily read alouds I have planned for this week?

Who Moved by Cheese by Spencer Johnson

Thank you, Mr. Falker

Fancy Nancy Bonjour, Butterfly!

Bob and Otto

I am not sure I'm going to stick with this one. I'll decide in about 50 pages (not totally loving it so far):

The Round House by Louise Erdrich

We're also starting on our fabulous Novel Study in class! Can't wait!

IMWAYR

Okay. It is actually Tuesday. I am a day late!

I am all over the place with my reading these days. People keep giving me books. I got an ARC in the mail that I need to read. A bunch of great books I have been waiting for all came in at once at the library. I haven't been blogging our picture books we read each day. Ack!!!

Where is spring break when I need it??!! Time for another holiday!

This week's priorities (I will leave the long TBR list off for now):

Happy People Read and Drink Coffee....delightful so far!

The Brains Way of Healing......I might have to skip some chapters....some of it is just too science technical for me...but I am enjoying it!

Pax by Sara Pennypacker..... I am in love with this book.....it isn't often I want to re-read something right away. I feel like there is so much to this book....trying to soak it all up.

IMWAYR!

It's Monday. What are you reading?

This week I'm breaking my rules. I decided this year that I wouldn't start another book until I'm finished the one I'm reading....but sometimes that just doesn't work!

I plan to re-read Pax. I learned about Notice and Note and I want to use the strategies in that book to find themes in Pax. I know I missed a lot! We have our book club meeting this week so I feel like a quick re-read is in order.

Which brings me to Notice and Note. I'm so excited about this! I learned about it on a podcast. I tweeted my English teacher inspiration, Pam and asked her if she'd heard of it and if she thought I needed it. She gave a big thumbs up for it. I ran out and bought it today!!

Notice and Note?! @PamelaHunnisett , do you know about this?? https://t.co/qdLiRraM1A I think I need this book! pic.twitter.com/KZDobDNx8V

I'm also plugging away at my brain book. The brain is one of my recent obsessions.

I need to read this book for Battle of the Books. It is coming up soon!

AND I have to throw this one in too! I got an Advanced Reader's Copy of a book sent to me from Harper Collins. I am so excited to be considered to review an ARC!

It's Monday, What Are You Reading

My list hasn't changed much from last week. The books I am actively reading are Longbourne and The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. What I read is often dictated by when holds appear at the library. I have been waiting for The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up for a while.

My TBR list:

It's Monday. What Are You Reading?

This week we are going to swimming provincials in Edmonton, so I will have lots of reading time. Can't wait!

Here is what I am reading:

Life of Zarf: The Trouble with Weasels.

Not sure where this one was recommended to me,,,,but it looks interesting!

Dietland. I heard great stuff about this one from The Books on the Nightstand podcast.

A Family of Readers: Colby Sharp mentioned he was reading this so I checked it out. Great book!

Longbourn is my book club's pick for September.

I had Mr. Terupt Falls Again out a while ago and never did read it. This time I got the online audio book from my library! It was recommended to me by the author of The Quirks when we skyped for Gr 3 book club.

Confession: I have never read the Harry Potter series. I actually did read this one more than 15 years ago, but I figure I might need to start from the very beginning. I have lots to read this summer if I am going to read all those books!

What I Am Reading This Week

I am continuing on my winter break list. I am halfway through Because of Mr. Terupt. Last week I got distracted with some other books that weren't on my list. Always happens! And let's be honest. There will likely be more distractions this week. That is half the fun!
