Here is what I added to my stack this week.
I got both a print and Kindle copy of Allegiant by Veronica Roth. The print copy was immediately donated to my Middle School/High School Media Center and was checked out as soon as my aide got it into the system. The first reader has already told me he didn't like it as well as Insurgent. As for myself, I still haven't read Insurgent which is also on my Kindle.
I got four review books this week too.
The Great Trouble by Deborah Hopkinson was sent to me by the author. This book was released on September 10 and is described as "Part medical mystery, part survival story, and part Dickensian adventure."
The Rule of Three by Eric Walters was one I asked for from Macmillan. This book will be released on Jan. 21, 2014 and is a post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction story.
Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira was a surprise arrive by my Macmillan contact. This contemporary will be released on April 1, 2014.
Not pictured because it doesn't have a cover yet is Plus One by Elizabeth Fama. I had requested this one from Macmillan. It will be released on April 8, 2014.
The Common Core Lesson Book K-5: Working with Increasingly Complex Literature, Informational Text, and Foundational Reading Skills by Gretchen Owocki is being used by the fifth grade teachers at my school.
Teaching the Critical Vocabulary of the Common Core: 55 Words that Make or Break Student Understanding by Marilee Sprenger was also recommended by those teachers.

I am thinking that I must read the Veronica Roth books...especially since there is a movie coming...right?
ReplyDeleteOr is it already here? I must go check.
Here's MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
That's fantastic that you donated your print copy of Allegiant to the library and I'm not surprised it was immediately checked out.
ReplyDeleteYour Common Core book fills me with dread; I fear the day that that trickles down to infants and toddlers. I am really not a fan of all of this standardization.
Anyway, happy reading!
I'm very tempted to donate my copy of Allegiant to my library, but then, I have both the other books, so I will keep my copy for me. I did already order one for my library so it'll have one.

ReplyDeleteSeems like everyone got Allegiant this week. Hope you enjoy the books you got for review. Thank you for commenting and I hope you enjoy all your books as well
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a lot of people aren't too happy with Allegiant. I haven't gotten to start it yet. I've seen a lot of people got Plus One and it looks super interesting! I hope you love all of your new books!

I've just started Allegiant, I hope you get around to reading Insurgent so you can finish the series!
ReplyDeleteAnd Love Letters looks beautiful!
Love Letters to the Dead sounds/looks like a fantastic book! Hope you enjoy it. I need to start Allegiant soon, but I'm a little scared haha. Great haul!

ReplyDeleteI really hope you enjoy Allegiant. I was in the disappointed crowd. I'll look forward to your review.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for Love Letters to the Dead! I hope it's a great one!
ReplyDeleteI got Allegiant too. It wasn't what I'd hoped for. Hopefully your students will like it better than I did.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)
Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI have Allegiant on reserve at the library for whenever they get enough copies to supply demand. I'm looking forward to be able to go on social media again without having to fear spoilers!
