My scholar ran halfway across the cafeteria to tell me about this author and of course to get her photo taken! We have 19 days left of the school season and this scholar already has a list of books that she‘ll tackle through the summer.

Fun fact: One of my former scholars gave me every book she had read to start my class library. As a business teacher I never thought about building a class library even though reading and buying books is my jam. In my new district I have scholars who really love the fact that I have books about dragons. #imforevergrateful #libraryiscomingalong.

The House of Eve | Sadeqa Johnson
post image

Today was nothing short of amazing as the Book Pearls jump started the year with their first author signing of 2023 @rvabookbar. @sadeqasays is a New York Times Bestseller and proud is an understatement. Yellow Wife tugged at our soul and left us grappling with a reality that the world wants to erase. The House of Eve has shown up at our doorstep and walked right up to the front door to say hello. Finally meeting a IG friend was more than amazing

KateReadsYA That's so awesome how you can connect online and meet in person and make amazing friendships! I have the yellow wife on my tbr :) I can't wait to read it. Happy Sunday ☀️ 4mo
marleed Very cool! I just finished this book and liked it! 4mo

Before I Let Go | Kennedy Ryan

This book feels like the couple fell down two flights of stairs and trying to piece together what was once their life. The emotional reality of what actually happened is being release through a slow burn of sorts but I‘m all in and as of right now, I‘m this very moment..I‘m team Yasmen and about two seconds from slapping the snot out of Deja! #beforeiletgo #kennedyryan #teamyasmen

Smile | Raina Telgemeier

I see why this is a popular book amongst my scholars. @rainatelgemeier touches on a few topics that happens in middle everyday. The bullying, gossiping and teasing are hot takes for many of my scholars and showing them how to navigate through this and dealing with the growing pains of becoming a teenager can be a lot. #smile #rainatelgemeier #middleschool #middleschoolteacherwholovestoread

Secret Santa took on a whole new meaning this year, being in a new school district has been rewarding and seamless with a mix of exhaustion and excitement. When I opened my gift and met my Secret Santa I cried and knew that Homegoing will be the bridge that brings anyone who wants to join our teacher bookclub together. Today is our last day and then it‘s onto reading, hot tea, and endless PJ‘s until next year. Happy Holidays!

2 stars and I‘m being generous. This book has been circulating around for quite sometime and was recently a bookclub pick. I just finished it and wanted to know what did I just read? It definitely wasn‘t my cup of tea and wouldn‘t recommend it. The Moose Munch saved the day!

This book haul will hopefully pull me out of the reading depression I‘ve been in. The last few months I‘ve started then stopped and started again without completion while hoping one of the books will be THE ONE. The Ashwaghanda tea had me at hello and is helping me relax my mind, body and soul.

JamieArc Hope you get your book mojo back! I‘ve heard really good things about Black Cake and plan on reading it this month. 10mo
Smrloomis Hmmm maybe a graphic novel would help? I like to read those in-between more substantial reading, but that‘s just me. 10mo
