ALA Anouncements

I know everyone is weighing in with their favorites for the Newbery, but I am too superstitious. I will listening online with everyone else tomorrow morning hoping for my favorites of the year, but I am not going to let on as to who I have chosen. Although, I did make one prediction this summer, and I stand by that prediction. (Hint, it was not a Newbery prediction.)
For a list of the awards and a short description, click here: ALA News
So join me here: http://www.unikron.com/clients/ala-webcast-2008 for the live webcast of the awards and keep your fingers crossed for all your favorites.

Teen Reading Week

I know I am not exactly a "Teen" teacher but I can't get enough of the young adult books, so I went to check out what ALA is putting out for "Teen Reading Week." I wanted to share it with you because there is so much fun stuff to look at. So check it out for yourself...

Review Policy

If you wish to inquire about a review or would like me to review your book, I can be contacted at the email address listed above. I ONLY review books that meet my blog theme which is literature appropriate for 5th Grade students. This MAY include picture books, middle grade novels, or young adult novels. If the content is not appropriate for 5th Graders, I am not interested. I will also review poetry, again it needs to be appropriate for 5th grade students. Because I am a teacher first and blog only as a hobby, I cannot work on deadline. I do book reviews or author interviews ONLY, no blog tours or guest posts.
