It's day 3 and the reading marches on. I read My Very Un-Fairytale Life and am now finishing up the reading of The Familiars. When I get home tonight I will pick the next one. Going contemporary this time 'round, though not as many in my TBR pile from last year, I see.
What about all of you? I know some of us have limited time right now and that's okay! Even if you on board and reading a book or two on the weekend, it works for me. Thinking next go round I could call this even..Middle Grade Reading Week Challenge or something.
Now, before I get to the round up, I have a bit of a squee moment! Walden Books is donating some books for the giveaway. Will be getting to that soon, but first, let's round it up, shall we?
Other books read and being read by those participating in the read-a-thon (you know, in case you are looking to grow that to read list!):
About those giveaway additions. The Walden Books additions to our giveaways are:
#1-THE FOURTH STALL and THE FOURTH STALL PART 2-by Chris Rylander
#2-and you can be the first to read...HERO'S GUIDE TO SAVING YOUR KINGDOM by Christopher Healy. This is a very early giveaway for this one. Even before ALA. (I'm not going this year, but hoping to in 2013).
A big thanks to them.
Happy Reading and enjoy the rest of your day all! As always, commenting with what you've been reading and/or recommendations of other mg books you've read in past, gets you another entry into the giveaways!
Good Morning! I'm still working on my #2 The City of Ember, but definitely enjoying it, though I feel funny saying that I'm enjoying a Dystopian story. Poor people of Ember! I'm not sure what my #3 will be, but probably won't get to it until tomorrow anyway. I'm between Gregor the Overlander, Half Moon Investigations and Guardians of Ga'Hoole #2. :) Thanks for hosting this, it's fun! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the covers of other books being read~ they all have me intrigued enough to look into them right now!
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of out in left field here but I'm reading a new British author, Jackie Martin. Her first 'Burglar Boy' is very engaging and well put together.
ReplyDeleteThanks...Carl
I've read: BREADCRUMBS and just finished THE SEARCH FOR WONDLA.
ReplyDeleteToday I'm going to start STARFIELDS.
Book 2: Peter Nimble and his Fantastic Eyes finished!

I'm halfway through 'Our Only May Amelia' by Jennifer Holm. Expect a review tomorrow!
I'm part way through The Familiars and enjoying it enough to get the sequel (I am a cat person, so I was inclined to like this to begin with). I'm also reading The Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman, which being a teacher, I'm finding an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteI have been slow getting going (I've read two, but I would have read them anyway), but I am at the library right now where I have just checked out the third Penderwicks book--I want to get some of the non mg sff books off my tbr list!
ReplyDeleteThere's one MG books that I read last November that I really loved, Scary School by Derek the Ghost. It was pretty awesome and I finsihed it in 2.5 hours.
ReplyDeleteStill working on my first book, but am hoping to finish it tomorrow on a road trip. Planning on taking Neversink jsut incase I do finish The True Meaning of Smekday before I get home. =)
Charlotte...I love love the Penderwicks! Oddly enough, my reading this week is heavily on the fantasy side.
ReplyDeleteHeidi...I'll be getting the sequel to The Familiars too!
Loved Scary School too, Orchid...funny funny. Even got to do an interview with him for From the Mixed up Files. It was great fun!
I'd love to get to my copy of My Very Un-Fairytale Life and I'm also interested in The Familiars.
ReplyDeleteI'll look into the other books featured. Thanks for the recs.
I have finished THE BORROWERS, not sure what is next for me. Must check what I have.

Read The Hunger Games on Monday and am now 1/2 way through Catching Fire. I am hooked. So hooked that I bought a hunger games t-shirt that I hope to wear to school on Monday! :)
