The Library Thing is my thing. Now I wonder what reaction the group will have if and when they check out my reading list. My favorite genres are mystery (murder and espionage), historical fiction, and some fantasy (thank you Dr. Rideout for the series you loaned me this year). I will admit it took awhile to navigate around the site. I was unsure of what and how to do some things, but with a little experimentation a list was created. Is there a way to link the book covers into this blog?
The 50 book challenge is great. Teachers could create their own book challenge list at the beginning of the year. My granddaughter, Emily, is in 4th grade in San Antonio this year and is working on a 50 book challenge. She needs 5 more books before the middle of May. Her favorite book, at the moment and until the next book, is Pennies from Heaven .
Another classroom project could be a listing of books being read (self-selected reading) during SSR.
I enjoyed reading some of the excerpts/books online. I selected a few on John Adams (no clue as to why that selection). He was a very interesting historical figure. Go check him out.

Yes, there is a way to embed your books into the sidebar. Play around and see if you can figure it out! :-)
