NEW, AMAZING YA Book Blog...Check It Out!

As if I didn't have enough on my plate (hey, I guess my kids can skip a few dinners this month, right?!), I've launched a new young adult book blog fueled entirely by middle school writing. My students are a talented bunch of kiddos, and they've written exceptional book reviews throughout this year. I couldn't let their impressive writings go to waste, so I've decided to post their reviews on a new book blog titled On the Middle Shelf. I'm also going to be teaching classes of Gifted & Talented students next year, and I hope to add music reviews, movie critiques and the random musings of 7th and 8th grade students (yikes!). Add our blog to your frequently visited sites, and I promise you will find all kinds of interesting information to keep you entertained!

A Great Blog for YA Readers

My fingers are itching after reading The Compulsive Reader's blog at http://thecompulsivereader.blogspot.com/. They are itching because I want to go immediately to Barnes & Noble's website and start clicking and ordering many of the books I've been reading about on this blog! Check it out if you need some more titles to add to your reading list! I will definitely be adding several books to my classroom library based on many of the reviews I just read.
