A Bit About Books

 Hi all

I am starting a brand new bog...about books.  I guess because books have saved me this past year.  Like honestly, books have been my go to, my getaway....and I have read so many amazing middle grade novels that I feel compelled to share them.  

Most recently I have read A Place to Hang the Moon by Kate Albus.    She inspired me to write this blog really and it was this one line...about books being like a freshly baked cookie.  So good you have to keep reading....which is so true.  

So I want to blog about books....picture books and middle grade books....I want to share the incredible books I have read.  They have kept me going....I will share a synopsis and my thoughts.  It will NEVER EVER be negative...as negativity gets you nowhere....But I will share about them and leave you to decide...

A Place to Hang the Moon is pure artistry.  It is about three young kiddos who have lost their family and need to find their place...a new home.  They are living during the time of a world war...they are sent with other kids to the country, they hope to find a new family. during wartime  While they figure it out, they find solace in the library....it's totally relatable for me.  Books...books saved the kids....and I get it.  Books have saved me!  Read it...it's definitely a must read....I hated when it was over.

Something's Wrong by Jory John is a hoot.  JoryJohn is one of my ultimate favorite authors so I had to have this book....it's so worth it.  My students died of laughter but probably because I was laughing so much...Who hasn't had an embarrassing moment?  But I love that the message is friends sticking together...friends helping out another...in their time of need.  This is a hilarious book with a great message.

As this is my first blog about books, maybe I haven't shared enough information...I don't want to give anything away, though...but things will only get better!

Please read these books,  They are worth it...
