The Old Man and the Sea | Ernest Miller Hemingway

#GoodreadsSummerReadingChallenge2018

PenguinInFlight I hated this one too. I haven‘t tried to read it as an adult, but maybe I should. I usually liked assigned reading, but I didn‘t enjoy this one at all. 7y

Kaylamburson I wasn‘t really a fan either, but I did actually finish reading it. I felt like in high school I didn‘t always finish the assigned reading, but this was easy to get through. 7y

WanderingBookaneer @PenguinInFlight : I did not like Steinbeck‘s novel as a teen, but when I was forced to teach it I learned to appreciate its characterization, which is what I focused on.

WanderingBookaneer @Kaylamburson : I always finished my assigned readings in high school. I always describe this book as the longest short book I ever read. 7y

PenguinInFlight @WanderingBookaneer that is a perfect description! 7y

BethM I‘m with @WanderingBookaneer on this! 7y

Letters to a Young Teacher | Jonathan Kozol

Starting book 5 (tagged book) for #GoodreadsSummerReadingChallenge2018 . Hoping to read book 6 tomorrow.

bookishkai Is it your first of Kozol‘s books? He has so much to say in all of his books about education and poverty. I love him so much. I read Savage Inequalities for a class in college and it awakened my passion for education reform. 7y

Caterina I didn‘t know about this challenge - it looks fun! I couldn‘t do the “Sick Day” prompt though, am I seriously the only person who read every single assigned book in my entire education? 😂 7y

Challenge Accepted: A Finnish Immigrant Response to Industrial America in Michigan's Copper Country | Gary Kaunonen

#GoodreadsSummerReadingChallenge2018

riversong153 I‘ve tried reading challenges before and have never successfully finished one. I find that I‘d rather stumble into different reads even if they are on my tbr. 7y

Cityofamber I might try it... I need to look into it more:) 7y

corycatelyn This sounds like fun...where do I find the info for it? 7y

2BR02B I always love the idea of reading prompts, but in practice I'm too much of a mood reader to follow through. 😅 7y

Cityofamber @2BR02B that‘s my biggest hesitation too... 😂 I might just do the beginner one and give myself more room to read others besides the challenges :) 7y

WanderingBookaneer @corycatelyn : On the Goodreads homepage. 7y

WanderingBookaneer @2BR02B & @Cityofamber : Me too. I struggled to finish reading challenges last year, but this year I‘m doing better. 7y

Jazruiz.2014 I always do our library summer reading challenge with my daughters 7y
