The books just kept piling up. The stack grew higher and higher. New releases, older releases, books for my students to enjoy, and a sprinkling of some adult titles for me.
Sixteen books in all!
“You need to stop,” I told myself. “You’ll never have time to read all of these books.”
I needed, I craved a focus.
A plan, or perhaps a challenge! No, not another challenge!
In January of 2017 I joined fellow readers and created a #MustReadin2017 book list. You can read the initial post here.
Initially, I was a bit hesitant to participate, but today I am certainly glad that I am here, participating. I’m accomplishing much more than I thought I would, even though my reading took a back seat to my daily writing during the Slice of Life Story Challenge in March. In case you missed it, here is my #MustReadin2017 list:
There are sixteen books on my list and here is what I have read so far:
- small great things by Jodi Picoult
- The Key to Extraordinary by Natalie Llody
- How to Live a Good Life by Jonathan Fields
- The Playbook: 52 Lessons to Aim, Shoot, and Score in This Game Called Life by Kwame Alexander
- Flying Lessons & Other Stories edited by Ellen Oh
- Wolf Hollow by Lauren Wolk
- Maxi’s Secrets by Lynn Plourde
They were all EXCELLENT! (Yes, I am shouting.) You must read them now, share them now! It’s also time to throw some confetti and do a happy dance! I’ve read seven out of the sixteen books on my list! 🙂
Here’s what I’m currently reading:
- One Amazing Elephant by Linda Oatman High
- The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
Oh no! Books, books, books! I’ve added more to my #MustReadin2017 list:
- Out of Wonder by Kwame Alexander
- The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
- The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill
- Written In the Stars by Aisha Saeed
- Night by Elie Wiesel
Well, it’s about time I wrap up this post so I can get back to my reading. I’d like to send a special thank you and hats off to Carrie at There’s a Book for That for uniting us. And of course, I’m wondering what you have recently read or what you plan to read soon.
Please share!
I (heart) comments!
