Books We Read – September 2011
Yeah! The trips to the school library have resumed! Remember last month when I said that the earthquake became a point of reading interest? Well the 1-2-punch of the earthquake and Hurricane Irene pushed research into another weather phenomena: tornadoes!
We’re slowly getting back into the swing of reviews, too. This month we have more new reviews than we have books read. I shared a stack of 2010 Cybils-nominated Easy Readers with one of our families after the winners were announced and those reviews are now in, too.
As always, we would love to get our visitors reading YOUR REVIEWS! InLinkz (www.inlinkz.com) offers YOU an easy-to-use process and US a more secure system for connecting our reviews. It has thumbnails, too!! I cannot say enough great things about Team Inlinkz and their level of support and service … so don’t be surprised if you see my gratitude for months to come!
Received: 17 New Reads: 15 …. New Reviews: 18
Please use these category headings to “jump” to your favorite children’s and young adult book categories. We hope this makes the monthly list (and our annual list pages) more enjoyable for you … not to mention a little more manageable to browse.
