What Am I reading Linky Party

Happy Sunday! I’m linking up with Teaching Happily Ever After to let you know what I’m reading this summer. So here goes my list:

 

On Saturday and Sunday mornings I love to get up and watch my two favorite news shows on MSNBC: Up with Chris Hayes and Melissa Harris Perry. I heard about this book on Up. I’m loving it! Fascinating read.

Love My Rifle More than You: Young and Female in the U.S. Army

 

I read this one about three years ago and loved it too.

Band of Sisters: American Women at War in Iraq

This next on is a YA title but hey, I read the Twilight series and Hunger Games. I’m loving this book. So well written and I found myself laughing out loud…a lot!

Lola and the Boy Next Door

I read Stephanie Perkin’s first one (Anna and the French Kiss) last summer so I was excited to find Lola and the Boy Next Door.

Anna and the French Kiss

 

I love love love the FX show Justified and it’s based on Elmore Leonard’s collection of stories, Fire in the Hole. I read those two summers ago and wanted to find some more titles from Leonard…so I’m trying this one.

 

Pronto

 

I found this author blog stalking one night and she seems pretty interesting. I’m waiting on it’s arrival from Amazon…my favorite place to shop.

 

Finally, every summer I reread this book as I think about and plan for literacy instruction in my classroom. She really makes you think about how valuable and sacred our teaching time is with our students. I love Sharon Taberski.

  3. I've spent most of the last hour trying to remember which blog I saw the books listed above on. It was yours! I'm going to read both the books about the women in the military, as I'm a soon to be military wife! Thanks for the recommendations!
