What are you reading this week?

Hi everyone! Have you ever been caught reading at the movies??? It helps if you bring a flashlight...Mrs. Rumsey and I were so excited to hear from Nathan! Here is what he wrote:

I am reading The Malted Falcon. I am on Chapter 4. I also am reading Hess me Deadly but I left it at my Grandma's house. My mom and I went to the library and I got 6 books. I can't wait to read them all.

Wow, Nathan! You are a reader! I can't wait to find out how you like The Malted Falcon. I just finished one from that same series called The Cameleon Wore Chartruese. I hope you like it! Do you think I should read The Malted Falcon too? I'm not sure if I've heard of Hess Me Deadly, but, if you ever get it back from your Grandma, I'd love to know if you liked it...Six library books!!! That's a jackpot!! I'm so glad you joined us on our reading blog!

Right now I am reading a book for my neighborhood book club called The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo. So far it is very hard to read because it takes place in Sweden, a country I’ve never been too so I have no connections to make while I’m reading. Plus it uses a lot of words I am not familiar with…did you know that the money in Sweden is called kronor? It also talks about places that I can’t pronounce and have never heard of before. That makes it hard to be metacognitive!! Help!! I’m really going to have to concentrate in order to finish and be able to talk about what I read with all my book club friends! But it is always fun to have a challenge!

I also got a new book called Reading Ladders. The author is a teacher who loves to find books that her students will enjoy reading. That is what I want to do in third grade! I am also reading the book called True Faced. It is a non-fiction book so I don't have to read it from beginning to end. It has different than a story because I can skip around on the chapters if I want. I hope you are all enjoying your reading time! Let us know what you are reading! Mrs. Surridge and Mrs. Rumsey
