I’ve been doing some professional reading regarding independent reading, especially SSR*.  Because I’m making my 6th graders take a book vow, I’m going to take one, too, for the second trimester of the class I teach:

I VOW TO READ 12 BOOKS BY MARCH 3, 2017.

To keep myself accountable, I will post reviews/ reactions to the books on this blog, rather than Goodreads, as I don’t care for Goodreads rating system.

Today, I’m starting Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman. I loved Seraphina–the world-building, the characters, but especially Hartman’s style–it’s very lush.

After a tough week, I’m looking forward to visiting Goredd again.
