How many books are you reading at once? I typically have one physical book, one kindle book, and one audible book at any given time. This is my audible book, and I LOVE the voice actor for Marcellus. It‘s perfect!!!

Starting this today! I have heard great things, so I‘m hoping I get sucked in to the story. I‘ve been in a reading slump for a few weeks.

I loaded up my Kindle with library books before going on vacation and decided to try out a new genre. So far so good.

Loved every moment of this story. ❤️

Trying to read by book light... these two think it‘s a cat lamp. 😹 #catsoflitsy

Started July‘s #BOTM ❤️

Final check in for #24in48 !! Although I didn‘t meet the 24 hour goal, I deeply enjoyed these books. It was a great way to spend the weekend. Ask Again, Yes was a slow start, but ended up being one of my favorite reads of the summer so far. I started Dark Matter before falling asleep and will most likely finish it today. I enjoyed this #readathon ! It was my first time. ❤️

Hour 30 challenge. The young adult series that I have read multiple times as an adult but also shared with both my kids (and all my high school students) is The Hunger Games. Katniss is one of my top 5 favorite female protagonists. #24in48 #hour30. My checkin time is just under 12 hours (11:56) as I‘m working my way through Ask Again, Yes

Starting back up again this morning with #24in48. Although I don‘t think I will make my goal by midnight my time, I have deeply enjoyed dedicating my weekend to reading. I‘m starting book 3. #botm

Stopping for the night. (Unless insomnia hits). Finished two books.. 1 ebook and 1 audio. #24in48

Several chapters into book two. I‘m listening to this one to give my eyes a break. #24in48

Hour6 challenge is to show my #sff book. This one is currently downloading on audible when my eyes need a break. I will fit it into my #24in48 #readathon!

My first reading break.. 223 pages into the book and loving every word. I‘ve never read historical fiction about the Japanese Americans and their struggles during WWII. So many tear jerkers with these characters. #24in48 #readathon

I‘m getting a late start, but can‘t wait to begin my stack! Book number 1 has been on my TBR for most of this year. #24in48 #readathon

NCTE‘s summer reading. This book demonstrates how to make literary classics relevant to today‘s teenagers by pairing classics with high interest novels through reading and writing workshops. #ncte #teachersoflitsy

I read an article today that suggests replacing The Great Gatsby with Behold the Dreamers in the classroom.

Three weeks into summer vacation and slowly working through my TBR pile. Recursion was my favorite so far! . #teachersoflitsy

This book has me pausing and pondering so many different passages. Great read so far.. 🤯 #botm

Finally getting to June‘s #botm

My summer reading stack for next year‘s 9th and 10th grade ELA classes. #teachersoflitsy

I have found very few books that have captured the complicated dynamics of a female friendship so well. It spans many years similar to the Kate and Tully friendship in Hannah‘s Firefly Lane. I think the book jacket blurb misled me into thinking this story would be more centered around September 11 (which was glossed over in the novel), but it was a great emotional story. #botm #catsoflitsy

When you want to read but your kitten has other plans. 😻 #catsoflitsy

Finishing up book 1 of John Green‘s book club #lifeslibrary

Santa brought me two reading buddies this year. Lexi and Astro. ❤️ #kittensoflitsy #catsoflitsy

My 6th and final #feedareader box was sent today. I‘m visiting family in NV, so you should have it before New Years. I greatly enjoyed these swaps! Happy New Year!

I love this box! The book is a duplicate from a box I just received but my local book club will have someone that will swap with lme. I LOVE the journals and pens and notecards. Thank you so much for all the supplies!! ❤️

This was such a great collection of items! I love the pasta recipes but even more.. I love the pasta journal (for recording my own versions of recipes!) the measuring spoons are just perfect and the office supplies and highlighters will be put to good use. You outdid yourself. That gatsby journal ❤️❤️❤️Thank you @JenlovesJT47 I deeply love it all!! #feedareader

Although it is still October, this will be late arriving to you PatriciaU. It‘s coming from Italy, so maybe 7-10 days to arrive. Time slipped away. I hope you enjoy everything!! @TricksyTails @MinDea @PatriciaU #feedareader

I‘m starting October‘s #BOTM

All of this for $135 at book outlet! My new favorite online bookstore. Most of this is for my classroom library but some are for me. #teachersoflitsy #bookoutlet

Adding some nonfiction to my high school classroom library #buildingaloveofbooks #teenreads #teachersoflitsy

My Halloween shirt arrived!! #teachersoflitsy #ireaddeadpeople

Such a great read... our October book club pick. So many great talking points. This one will have you asking the hard questions.

I forgot how much I LOVE this book!! A mix of youth, fantasy, horror and mystery. Definitely on my top 10 all-time favorites! ❤️❤️

Another amazing British cover. ❤️

Beautiful cover in Europe. The British version.

I bought this for my classroom library and couldn‘t get any of the teenagers to read it. I showed the movie trailer in lieu of a book talk and now there‘s a long waiting list to read it. They are loving it (both boys and girls). Here‘s a link to the trailer (even though we all know the book is better!) https://youtu.be/tqoAMfe_rPM

I meant to just read a few chapters to have a talking point with my students, but I got sucked in to these characters and can‘t put it down! Love them!

My July / August package is going out today! @mabell I hope you love it all!! #feedareader

Every once in awhile, a dedication page speaks to me.

I updated my classroom library to include high interest novels that are thematically related to Romeo and Juliet. Money well spent!! #teachersoflitsy

Best news all day!! #firstreads #amazonprime #primeday

I had no idea Hannibal Lecter was possibly based on the Monster of Florence. 😱

We just got home from vacation and this package was waiting. I love it all immensely! The recipes are *cherry cheesecake cookies *3-ingredient Bleu cheese appetizer *overnight French toast *nachos Napoli. I‘m super excited about the 3 books and notebook, all 3 of which I have been wanting to read. I will let you know when we try the recipes! The spatula and mitt are adorable. I can‘t wait to try the pb!! Cute cactus tabs and clips! #feedareader

Using my summer to read through some award-winning young adult books to use as book talk examples for my incoming 9th graders. I love this one so far... a friendship between two Mexican-American teenage boys. ❤️#teachersoflitsy

1. Little Fires Everywhere
The Hate U Give
Eleanor oliphant is completely fine
Eleanor and Park
2. Hot tamales, gobstoppers, starburst, chocolate and raspberry treats but in summer they melt when shipped.
3. Spatulas
4. Small sticky notes for annotating texts, bookmarks, colorful pens, highlighters, journals #feedareader

I received my package today from @PatriciaU for #feedareader I love the recipes and the vintage recipe book. What a treasure to include! The kitchen gadgets are awesome and will definitely be used. Lilac girls was an awesome read. We read it in my book club a few months ago, but I will pass it along to another reader who I feel will love the WWII setting. Thank you for your kindness. ❤️

This is going out early because I‘m including a baby gift for Jen. Although you‘re my may/June match, please open when you receive it. Congratulations on your baby boy! I can‘t wait for you to open my box! Only partially photographed contents since the rest is unwrapped. Mailing out today. Enjoy! #feedareader

I finished the book and finally watched the film. Kenneth Branagh must be my theme of the month. He played Hamlet in the version I‘m showing my seniors. Agatha Christie writes her genre well. It was an easy read and fun to piece together.
