Sea of Tranquility: A Novel | Emily St. John Mandel

I had a wonderful start to the year with my reading. My favorite was the first- Sea of Tranquility. In between all this I‘ve been working in A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations for my freshman honors class.

We started our new 6th grade Lit Lunch book today and had a very promising start! I always open sign ups to the whole 6th grade whenever we start a new title and had 15 students show up today - since its a class of about 50, I'm pleased with that! #schoollibraries #teachersoflitsy #librariansoflitsy

I have the best group of 6th graders in my book club this year! Today we finished Unplugged by Gordan Korman and they LOVED it - his books are always a hit and for good reason. #raisingreaders #schoollibraries #librariansoflitsy #teachersoflitsy

A Christmas Carol | Charles Dickens

Reading this with my Honors 9 students for the first time. Should I be ashamed to admit that I‘ve never actually read it before? With my regular 9 students we are watching the Muppet Christmas Carol- same thing right? 🎄#Dickens #classics #teachersoflitsy #christmas

Book number one from my #TBRWrappedUp stack was a success. It's a very cute Christmas romance involving a Christmas tree lot. I do wish I read this book when I was younger. However, I think my current students will love it. To the classroom library it goes!

Women in Sports: 50 Fearless Athletes Who Played to Win | Rachel Ignotofsky

I‘m looking for some help Litsy friends. I‘m not really a sports person, but I‘ve worked over the years to add more sports books to my mostly 6th-8th grade class library. Yesterday I had a specific request for books about girls in sports and realized I‘ve got very few books to recommend. So, if you‘ve got great #MiddleGrade suggestions other than the few books shown here, please send them my way!

Daisey @LibrarianRyan You‘ve always got great recs, can you share a few for this topic? 3mo

LibrarianRyan Wow. I‘ll need to look. I can come up with authors but most wrote about boys. Let me see what I can find. Cheer is the only one off the top of my head about cheerleading. 3mo

LibrarianRyan Roller girl, breaking the ice, skating shoes , tumble, love double Dutch, up for air, the distance to home. The girl who threw butterflies, lupe wing won‘t dance, taking up space, #great wall of Lucy Lu, there was a series called Kicks, Ana on the edge, There are just not enough sports books with girls. Ughh

CarolynM Not sure if they‘re middle grade (we don‘t divide schools the same way as the US) but there is some good Australian girls sport books around. The Netball Gems series (about netball, obvs) might not be relevant but Ellyse Perry has a soccer one as well as her cricket books

Daisey @LibrarianRyan Thank you, I‘ll be looking these up. Your answer at least made me feel a little better about my very short list. Definitely agree we need more of these! 3mo

Daisey @Sharpeipup @sblbooks Thanks! I‘ll be checking some of these out! 3mo

Daisey @CarolynM Thanks! I‘m not sure how easy a few of these will be for me to find to check out before buying, but I really appreciate another perspective! 3mo

Itchyfeetreader I M not great at ages is this one appropriate?

Itchyfeetreader This one maybe?

The Dream Team: Jaz Santos vs. the World

Itchyfeetreader This also has female as well as male perspectives. Adult book but pretty accessible although not sure on if there is any profanity in there

Daisey @Itchyfeetreader Thanks, I‘ll take a look. 3mo
