This is my #mustreadin2018 final update. I love participating in this reading challenge hosted by Carrie Gelson of There's a Book for That because it connects me with a community of readers and encourages me to read newly released books to share with my students. In January, I created my #mustreadin2018 reading goals. As a reminder, here they are:
In the end, I read ALL of the picture books on my list and ALMOST ALL of the chapter books on my list. Where did I fall short? I still need to read Smart Cookie and Game Masters of Garden Place. I did manage to read some new books that were not on my list since my update last September. They are . . .

Extra Chapter Books I Read - #mustreadin2018
I did not get much chapter book reading done this fall. I find the first semester of school and fall activities (Halloween, football games, the holiday season) a bit overwhelming. As a result, my reading (and exercising) decreases. Anyone else feel that way?

Yes, I always think I will read so much in the fall but my reading slows after summer and picks up close to winter break. I just read Imagine and was bowled over. Just gorgeous. Louisiana's Way Home was one of my absolute favourites of the year.
ReplyDeleteLouisiana's Way Home is on my list of the best novels I read this year. It's gobsmacking how many fabulous picture books out there these days!
