An End to Summer Reading

Tomorrow is the day that ends all summer reading.  It's time to report back to school and to all the everyday routine of an elementary school.  When I sat down to write this post, I was really down on all the books that I haven't read and the fact of returning to school.   Now that I'm making my list, I see that I have read some really good books (and a really bad one) this summer.  I'm also excited to return to school to see what everyone else has read.
So here's the list....
The Gregor the Overlander Series by Suzanne Collins (Upper Elementary +)
The Other Bolynne Girl by Philippa Gregory (Adult Historical Fiction)
*Readicide by Kelly Gallagher (Professional)
*Write Like This by Kelly Gallagher (Professional)
*Pathways to the Common Core by L. Calkins, M. Ehrenworth, & C. Lehman (Professional)
Before I Go to Sleep by S. J. Watoson (Adult Fiction) ~ This is a reread.
Slammed by Colleen Hoover (Young Adult)

I also read a really terrible current "best seller."  I will only admit to reading it because I wanted to have an opinion.   I'm in disbelief that so many people think it is wonderful.  Yes, it stinks! but of course I'm happy that people are reading.

*didn't read from page one forward - dipped in and out so far
