May was not looking good. However, due to a major case of bordem in the final week, I made a great comeback and ended the month with 11 books to put me at 40.
1. How to be Bad by E. Lockhart, Sarah Mlynowski, and Lauren Myracle
2. Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin
3. The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
4. Pretty in Plaid by Jen Lancaster
5. The Prince of Fenway Park by Julianna Baggot
6. Dramarama by E. Lockhart
7. Three Tales of My Father's Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannet
8. The Gollywhopper Games by Jody Feldman
9. Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys by Kate Brian
10. Allie Finkle's Rules For Girls: Moving Day by Meg Cabot
11. Allie Finkle's Rules For Girls: The New Girl by Meg Cabot
The 2 adult books were both very enjoyable. They were by two of my favorite authors (Lancaster and Giffin), so they were sort of no brainers. I loved PIP. Probably my second favorite of Lancaster's (after Bitter is the New Black). I liked LTOYW, but not as much as Giffin's previous books Something Borrowed and Something Blue.
Of the rest of the books, I would say that the 2 by E. Lockhart were my favorites. They were fun, quick reads and I was a big fan of both subjects (a road trip and musical theater camp). In How to be Bad, 3 authors tell the story from the different perspectives of the 3 characters. It was great!
I also really enjoyed The Gollywhopper Games. Unfortunately I read this so close to the end of the year that I wasn't really able to share it with any of my students. Hopefully I will be able to next year.
Now that summer is here I am hoping to get way ahead on my list. The good news is that we have only been out for 3 days and I've finished 3 books - yay! I'm also really excited for some books coming out this summer - especially Ally Carter's Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover which comes out on Tuesday!
