It is FANTASTIC to see so many new comments!

I was gone today, Wednesday the 23rd, for an OPI meeting but was so very pleased to see that the majority of you (8 thus far) followed my lesson plans and posted to our blog! I would caution you all to re-read your comments before posting since I publish them 'as is' without correcting spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors! :-)
It sounds like you are all enjoying the books you have selected! I was very pleased that the book I suggested for Quade is one he thoroughly enjoys! I really enjoyed THE CANDY SHOP WAR too!
I have not read SAVVY but am looking forward to it! Thanks Tyler F.!
I, of course, LOVED the HARRY POTTER series and am glad to see some of you are reading it over and over for pure enjoyment! I do that too with favorite books! I love 'stepping back into a favorite world' again and again! Way to go Tyler B. and Miranda!
I also liked the story WALK TWO MOONS and am glad you have all read it and enjoyed the story! Keep at it Emily because it sounds like you are having fun with your books and looking forward to more!
I haven't read a lot of the Kenneth Thomasma books but it sounds like Casey not only enjoys them but whole-heartedly recommends them!
Connor I am glad you enjoyed THE RANGER'S APPRENTICE series and are now into the DELTORA QUEST series! I bought those for my sons Michael and David as well! I am glad to see that recommending those series was a 'good fit' for you!
I can't wait to hear more about HOOT and SWINDLE Kayleen, since I haven't read those books yet!
I would like to see you all post a brief 'review' of a book you enjoyed and why you recommend it to others! Tell me a little bit about your favorite parts or why it 'struck home' with you and made you truly delight in this particular author!
I am very proud of all of you for your committment to reading and sharing with us all!
See you tomorrow!

P.S.: Great Job on posting Austin! I am so happy and impressed with your willingness and ability to post! Thanks for posting again!
