IMWAYR: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Edition
It’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, so I’m home from school, but I’ve been rereading many of my favorite books that encourage action and celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s vision for our country. I read that we should “Remember, Celebrate, and Act” and what better way to ACT than to READ and SHAREContinue reading “IMWAYR: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Edition”
IMWAYR: January Starts Successfully!
I’ve been reading! I’m continuing A Rover’s Story, Love From Mecca to Medina, and Apartment 713, and I’ve already read some picture books that I wanted to get to in 2022. Here’s a new one you may like and recommend to your readers…Mega-Predators of the Past by Melissa Stewart and Howard Gray. It’s Monday! WhatContinue reading “IMWAYR: January Starts Successfully!”

It’s the second day of the new year already, and I AM going to keep up with my reading!

IMWAYR: Falling Behind in the Snow
Winter is here, the snow has come to town, and I’m falling behind in my reading. You would think I had more time to read over the weekend, being stuck inside and all, but the weather headache took over and we had to shovel, too. Hopefully this week will be better. NetGalley: I opened TheContinue reading “IMWAYR: Falling Behind in the Snow”
IMWAYR: New Books!
Just a quick note here today, then it’s back to reading. There are so many new books out this year already, and they are all fabulous so far. Here’s what is going on this week: NetGalley: I finished Red, White, and Whole by Rajani LaRocca. This story pulled at my heart strings while also takingContinue reading “IMWAYR: New Books!”
IMWAYR: Congratulations to the #alayma Winners!
I think it’s part luck that I chose Everything Sad is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri to read this week, because today the book won the Michael L. Printz Award! I spent most of the day reviewing the complete list of ALA’s Youth Media Awards and celebrating as each book was named during the live webcast.Continue reading “IMWAYR: Congratulations to the #alayma Winners!”
IMWAYR: MLK Jr. Day and Not much reading this week
I probably won’t read much this week, honestly, due to students coming back to the school buildings and the Presidential Inauguration on Wednesday. I wish you all a thoughtful and reflective Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and hope for peace and love to continue into the future. NetGalley Reading: I started Red, White, and WholeContinue reading “IMWAYR: MLK Jr. Day and Not much reading this week”
IMWAYR: Trying to keep the Pace
This week I’m trying to keep the pace by reading instead of watching the news. The USA is in turmoil. I’ve decided that if I keep reading, I can be more intelligent and then I’ll know how to respond more appropriately to the news. I’m hoping to improve my attitude. NetGalley Reading: I will startContinue reading “IMWAYR: Trying to keep the Pace”
