“American Royals” – interesting YA – I thought it would be more about the political ramifications of an American monarchy – nope, just about romance – so yeah, definitely not my type of book – but I’m sure my eighth grade girls would love it

“Thanks, Obama” – speechwriter for the president – recaps his years – I liked it – politics is always fascinating for me

“Almost, Maine” – YA book – but I’m not sure why – not traditional in that it was from the POV of young kids – but I guess people can call things what they want

“The Big Dark” – at our library – by Rodman Philbrick – in the vein of Last Book in the Universe – enjoyed it

“The Movie Musical” – 600 pages of fun – really enjoyed it – and I now have a list of movies to watch:)

“My Jasper June” – delightful YA book – enjoyed this one – thanks Helena Middle for the lend:)

“Look Both Ways” – new one at CMS – good POV for middle grades

“They Called Us Enemy” – graphic novel – recommendation from a friend in Tennessee – and a good recommendation – our library is going to get it now:)

“Keeping Hope Alive” – one of my book prizes from the library – good book – I thought it was YA non-fiction – it wasn’t – but a good read for adults

“All The Greys on Greene Street” – YA – it was good – came from a list I’d found at the end of the year

“The Incomplete Book of Running” – enjoyed it – although, a sad book too – makes me ready to run Chicago

“Like Father, Like Son” – great book about a central US figure in running in the 1970s – and good coaching tips that relate to teaching
