pickDear book Gods...Thank you for blessing this author with the gift to tell an amazing story! I‘m on book 5 and my emotions are over the place. I don‘t know if I should cry, scream, shout or fight someone but what I do know is I‘ll forever be a part of Ethic land! 😩😭 #ethicland #ethic5 #ashleyantoinette
Book Raiders in the house!! We dived right into Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi and we can‘t wait to discuss it! Some of these babies have already finished and I‘m loving it especially since it‘s 544 pages.
It is with the utmost excitement that I introduce to you the 2019-2020 Book Raiders!!!! We had an awesome first meeting and I am excited to see what this year will bring. These amazing readers have already given some of the best recommendations and I cannot wait for you all to see what we will be reading this year. Our first Book Raider pick is by Mary Downing Hahn titled All The Lovely Bad Ones. Stay tuned...
My stomach is in knots listening to this. There are so many things wrong with this and I can‘t seem to process quick enough!! I just keep saying, but she‘s only 12! 😩😭
Our Pearls pick for the month of August is an exciting one and we can‘t wait to read this. The World According to Fannie Davis will have us on the edge of our seat!
Pearls pick for the month of July. Candice and Brandon are easily my favorite kid characters this summer!
How awesome is this! A readers digest edition of A Dog‘s Journey coupled with a few other great stories.
So my brother from another mother recommended this book to me last year and I‘m finally cracking the seal (I‘ve had it since last year) the first page had me at hello but page 6 has me realizing there will be no sleep for me tonight. Thank goodness I‘m on spring break!!! I‘m no where near the end but I already have a feeling this book will have me in tears.
One of my students has the best obsession! If only I read like this at his age...
I don‘t usually do scary/spooky books but the kiddos talked me into this one. I already know who I‘m pointing the finger at should have nightmares while reading this. #bookraiders #bookclub #kidsreadtoo #imscared #took
You can‘t runaway from who you are, but what you can do is run toward who you want to be...
-Coach Brody Ghost was an amazing read and I cannot wait to have a mini discussion with my book Raiders! bravo Mr. Reynolds! There are quite a few lessons that I will point out to the group. #bookraiders #ghost #jasonreynolds #bookraiderpick
Our Pearls pick for the month of April is Born A Crime by Trevor Noah. There are so many history lessons that Mr. Noah is bestowing upon us that I never knew about and I‘m in utter shock. I‘m only a few chapters in and this one line made me pause and say it out loud a few times over. “Why teach someone Latin when his only purpose was to did holes in the ground”.
It‘s been a while since I‘ve been to the library and this mini haul was good for my soul...can‘t wait to crack Queenie open! #minilibraryhaul
I literally just pushed play and I have this gut sinking feeling that I‘ll be in tears when all is said and done. 😭 #jasonreynolds #buddyread
The Book Raiders loved Miles Morales so much that we are reading another title by Jason Reynolds. We‘ve been hearing great things about Ghost so if it‘s anything like Miles Morales we won‘t be disappointed.
Last week was an extremely long week that was made better by the kindness of my Litsy Pen pal @Wonderwoman89 You made my ENTIRE week better. Thank you! I‘m terribly behind but please be in the lookout for your package.
Coming home after an extremely long day of teaching to a book I won...this just erased my entire day!!!
The Book Raiders will be reading Miles Morales for the month of February thanks to the generosity of a fellow teacher. I am still weepy and in disbelief of the kindness that was shown to me. I cannot thank her enough but surely will hug her and tell her I love her every time I see her and I need to make sure she knows that she gave these babies a gift that will keep on giving. #forevergreatful #bookraiders
anytime a book has me staying up until 1:30 and tossing & turning AFTER I have closed the book means the author has done more than an amazing job creating a fictional character so real that he‘s buried deep within my soul I had to close the book again at Chapter 18 due to my blood pressure rising but I already know E2 & E3 will be purchased today If anybody tells my hubby I purchased 2 additional (don‘t judge me) books, there will be hell to pay.
I can‘t wait to share these with my Book Raiders!! We were blessed this month with a donation and my heart is too full from the love shown to my Book Raiders. #teachersoflitsy
Pearls pick for the month of December...I seriously think I‘ll be screaming to no one in particular while reading this.
Starting a book club at my school has my heart full...praying these babies will continue to have a love for reading and books. Book Raiders are an amazing group of 6-8th graders and our first pick was an enjoyable read, on to the next!
Listen...when I receive gift cards to any bookstore, I don‘t waste anytime spending them! My first birthday book haul turned out pretty good.
My students just introduced this series to me and I had no clue there was a world of cats I knew nothing about. Book one is on its way...but the gift of book 2 for my birthday was a pleasant surprise from one of my reader babies.
Pearls pick for the month of October will have me peeking around the corner and not wanting to read at night. Nana by Brandon Massey is going to be one scary read but the Pearls are up for the challenge. #brandonmassey #october #pearlspick
Book swaps are everything!!! I don‘t participate as often as I use too but when I do, it‘s always a pleasant surprise.
I love book swaps! Yesterday was one crazy day with the tornadoes touching down here in central VA. My class spent most of the day in the hallways and we‘re off today due to flooding, so this box most definitely made me smile after one hell of a day!!
Where did the weekend go! I didn‘t even get to crack open my bookclub pick.
pick😭 I just don‘t understand why...he was innocent and served 20+ years. There is a GOD and a mighty one at that!
@MinDea 1. I love just about everything he touches... 2. Yes a/c is a must as I‘m asthmatic and humidity is not my friend. 3. I usually read with a hot cup of tea and TV on low for background noise. 4. Closed tight spaces 🙅🏽 5. Sometimes I do, they‘ve been so vivid that they were scary at times. #HumpDayPost
Can you say excited!!! Book Pearls had the pleasure of meeting Angie Thomas and it was uplifting, inspiring and down right fun!
Pearls pick for the month of July and I‘m still on the fence! I‘ve been reading this book on and off for about two months and will finally finish. Time to make a decision...team Roy or team Celestial.
Because it World Book Day and these covers are EVERYTHING!
Pearls pick for the month of April. This title didn‘t have me at hello from page one, but I am certainly intrigued as to how this story will unfold.
1. I would love to cook dinner for Eric Jerome Dickey and would have invited E. Lynn Harris to the dinner as well. 2. I would travel back to 1990 3. I would love for Sanaa Latham to play me I‘m a movie 4. @readermonica let‘s have some fun! #TuesdayTidbits
