DEAR MARTIN by Nic Stone-I read this YA novel today. Justyce is a brilliant young person who is highly successful at his private school and a debate team leader.  He is an African American teenager, who begins a “Dear Martin” project in response to being wrongfully handcuffed and detained. Grow with Justyce, as you take a step into his life and how he responds to his life’s circumstances.  So glad I read this author’s first novel!

My current read is The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. I am about half-way through this delightful story. It is based on the life of a gorilla who lived on display in a mall. It makes me smile  and tugs at my heartstrings. Tissues have been necessary. Readers: Elementary, Middle School and anyone else with a heart. ❤️

I just started The Marriage Plot, a book by my favorite author, Jeffrey Eugenides, on the way to NYC. My goal this summer is to read for pleasure while brushing up on YA lit. I think I’m going to try to work my way through the Newberry medals, or some other award-winning list. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know!

I'm reading Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds.  Edgier read, all in verse, but riveting.  I'm planning for a combination of YA, professional, and fun reading over the summer. Can't wait to see what others recommend!

I am a perpetual reader so I don't have a goal. I just finished reading Little Boy Lost by J.D. Trafford and have started to read Brain on Fire-My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan. On my queue I have Educated a  memoir by Tara Westover, Beneath the Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan, The Plastic Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg, and Spilled Milk by K.L Randis.

Books that I recommend are The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom, the Legend trilogy by Marie Lu (some of our students read these), Alias Grace and The Handsmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, The Girl With All The Gifts by M.R. Carey, The Passage trilogy by Justin Cronin, and Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper. (to name a few)

MY READING GOAL: I plan to read at least an hour daily. First up on my summer reading list will be THE HATE U GIVE. I also plan to read as many books from the Texas Lonestar list as I can.
CHECK THESE OUT! Two favorites from last summer have stuck with me all year! They are WHEN FRIENDSHIP FOLLOWED ME HOME by Paul Griffin & RAYMIE NIGHTINGALE by Kate DiCamillo.
What are you reading; what are your plans?
