Fall Into Reading Challenge

I am so excited to once again participate in the Fall Into Reading Challenge hosted by Katrina at Callapidder Days.   I have set a goal of 25 books for this challenge.  This is my tentative list.  Last year I made a list and then was a cybils judge and had to change my list.  If I am lucky enough to have that honor again then once again my list will change.  But for now here are the books I have on my shelves that I want to read and really need to read to get them taken to school and put on my classroom shelves.  Not all of them will be reviewed since I am reading for Cybils.

  6. Your list looks great, Sandra! I didn't realize Joel Rosenberg had a new book coming out -- we've read and enjoyed several of his previous books.

    Thanks again for being part of Fall Into Reading, and thanks for all YOU do to share with others the love and benefits of reading!
