Can you believe that it is October already?
Me neither.
It looks like this is going to be another year that just flies by!
The fall booktalks are coming up soon--October 29th and 31st--and Mrs. Carroll and I have tons of great books that we are excited to share with you!
I had the chance to read so many great books this summer and hope you had a chance to too!
Are you up for a challenge?
My challenge to you is to read at least one book per week this entire school year. That's 40 books. Totally do-able. You can do it!!
And, it you're looking for a good book to start with, you should check out our LMC's Pinterest boards: http://www.pinterest.com/berlinhslmc/boards/. That's right, we are now on Pinterest! Enjoy!
If you'd like, you can track your books in the comments below. Let's check in for progress every Friday.
How cool will it be to see what everyone is reading?!?
Ready? Set? READ!!

Mrs. Gumtow's reads September 2013:
1. Taken by Erin Bowman (a good dystopian read)
2. Titanic: Voices from the Disaster by Deborah Hopkinson (A narrative nonfiction book that happens to be on the Battle of the Books (BoB) list...)
3. Beyond Courage: The Untold Story of Jewish Resistance During the Holocaust by Doreen Rappaport (Another narrative nonfiction book on the BoB list. Look for this one during fall booktalks!)
4. Shine by Lauren Myracle (And yet another BoB book! This one is an excellent realistic fiction book about a hate crime that rocks a small town and one girl, Cat, who is determined to find out who was behind it.)

5. Currently Reading: Breathe by Sarah Crossan (I am really enjoying this dystopian read. Look for it at the fall booktalks soon!)
6. Currently Reading: Dodger by Terry Pratchett (This one is a historical fiction book set in Victorian London. I picked it up because it is on the BoB list--and I am writing questions on this one. I am enjoying it, but it is somewhat of a challenge to me too.)
7. Currently Listening To: One Shot At Forever by Chris Ballard (This one is a narrative nonfiction book about an underdog baseball team--the 1971 Macon, IL Ironmen. Look for this one at the fall booktalks!)
