Back in January I came across a tweet from Carrie Gelson at There's a Book for That. A group of readers was making a list of books that must be read in 2014 - because they were not read in 2103. My list of must read books can be found here.
Here it is July and I am at the halfway point of my Must Read in 2014 list. During this second quarter of the year, I read 6 books bringing me up to 14 out of the 28 books on my list. I guess you could say I am right on track!
It would be hard to pick a favorite out of these eight, but all of them are amazing choices for middle grade students. In the captions, I have written why I enjoyed these books.
 |
| Loved this fantasy, which is a genre I typically do not enjoy. |
 |
| Loved this book for its appeal to boys. |
 |
| Loved this book because of the way Valerie Hobbs "wrapped it all up" in the end. |
 |
| This book reminds me Wonder and Out of My Mind - how can I NOT like it! |
 |
| Loved the tangle of story lines and how Lisa Graff pulled everything together. The cake recipes are a bonus! |
 |
| Loved the format of writing the story through journal entires and the relationship between Ratchet and her dad. |
Happy Reading!
Great titles here :-) Beholding Bee and Rump are favourites of mine and I love Kirby Larson so am excited to read this title soon! thanks for sharing your update!
