pickThis was such a fun read. Great little mystery with well-developed (for the reading level) characters, a cross between two of my childhood favorites: Nancy Drew and Harriet the Spy. Recommended reading for 4th through 7th grade. I‘ve enjoyed it so much that I‘m going to look for the next book at my library.

I have spent the last several months working with K-8 students using school libraries as my “office.” I have definitely rediscovered my love for children‘s books. I‘m seriously considering switching to children‘s collections for my Master‘s.
This book is pretty good, so far. I got about a quarter of the way through today because all my second graders were independent minded and told me to bugger off while they worked. :D

My last new book started today, this one is for my neighborhood book club
pickWOW!! I loved this book! Irish immigrant experience, Brooklyn experience. Spanned from turn of the 20th century to I‘m guessing around 1940. the love story was frustrating at times, but unique, for sure. Very good family saga. Pub date 1958. It‘s a Betty Smith year! #Brooklyn
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

pickThe protagonist Margy was sweet. Grew up in a strained household, emotionally and financially, tries to find happiness in marriage. Another slice of life type of novel with characters who are just trying to do the best they can with what life has given them. Margy is different, you know she will persevere and eventually be happy. #Brooklyn
pickI have a lot memories of Dad reading this one out loud to us when we were growing up, but I don't think I had read it since! It's a pretty adorable story about a group of kids who live in a little cul de sac alley neighborhood. The main story is that there is a robbery, but there are a lot of little side stories and it's all such good fun.
