What are you reading, friends?
Welcome to the world of Babymouse!! Isn't she the best? I love when my 6th grade boys read Babymouse. It's refreshing to see them secure enough to read a book with a pink cover. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! I agree. She is just too cool to not love.
DeleteAdventures of Jo Schmo looks fun! I've never heard of it. Will have to look it up. I just barely like 15 minutes ago came home from picking up some books from the library and Legends of Zita is among them.
ReplyDeleteJKK visited our school ... I think 2 Lunch Ladies had been released by then? I am sorry to say while I read all the picture books in anticipation of his visit, it took me a couple more years to actually try LL for myself (I didn't need to talk them up to kids cause they read them anyway!). So fun!
And the SW/LOTR fangirl in me loves when Babymouse references outside pop culture. So enjoy!
Jo Schmo was pretty good. It is about a young girl who is a superhero. It was pretty clever.
DeleteYou are so LUCKY to have had JKK come to your school. I just fell in love with them.
Oh, I wanted to read LIVING WITH JACKIE CHAN. I need to get more acquainted with NetGalley. I am on my way there now!
ReplyDeleteAny luck on Net Galley? It is awesome, isn't it?
DeleteSuch. Great. Books!!
ReplyDeleteYay about Living With Jackie Chan -- it's great! Have you read Jumping Off Swings yet? I'm curious to see the reaction of someone who reads LWJC first because it gradual reveals past events as the story unfolds.
Happy reading this week!
I did not read Jumping Off Swings and didn't realize they were connected, so thank you. I wonder if this will be an issue. I hope not. Maybe I should read the first one first =)
DeleteNetgalley is awesome! Once you get started, you can't stop.
ReplyDeleteSO TRUE!
