If you’re like me, you’ve got a stack of books that you’re “meaning to read” as soon as you “have the time.” Sometimes this stack is full of half-read books that you foolishly attempted to start during the school year. You’ve got a pile of professional books you’re kind of looking forward to…in a way… and a stack of personal books you’ve been gifted or accumulated on your hopeful trips to the bookstore!
To share my stacks with you, I decided to link up with The Hands-On Teacher for her Summer Reading List Link-Up! and talk about one of my favorite things to do: drink margaritas! Wait- I mean… READ!
These are my stacks.Professional Stack
In my professional stack, I have four books. I just finished
posting about the last professional book I read, Igniting a Passion for Reading. You can read about that
here!
Teach Like a Champion is our summer reading book study. The next-to-last week of school, when I could TASTE summer already, my principal had an idea for me to run an optional summer book study for teachers. We only had a handful of teachers sign up, but I’m still looking forward to meeting with them. Sometimes small groups are the best! And I’ll be able to share all of our conversations with you!
I just purchased Comprehension from the Ground Up by Sharon Taberski. I am SO EXCITED about this book! I love Taberski and I think she’s done a beautiful job of identifying what’s important in reading instruction. Can’t wait!
Personal Stack
My personal stack is still kind of small. I’m working on it, though! Personally, I’m more of an impulse reader. I judge books by their covers all the time.
I’m partway through the first Game of Thrones, and while I’d like to read the series, they’re so lengthy that they’d be the only thing I’d be able to read for a long time. So that may have to wait.
I bought I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak because I really enjoy his writing. It’s been sitting on my shelf for several months now, so maybe I can finally attack it this summer!
And one of my friends loaned me Divergent. There’s a series that I can probably finish pretty quickly, so I don’t mind starting it!
So what’s on YOUR summer reading list? And what should I add to mine?
Pin It 
You will want to add Insurgent and Allegiant to your list after reading Divergent. I need to look into I am the Messenger. I have some professional books to read and am looking for a pleasure read for myself.
I have not had a good fantasy book in a while – I loved lord of the rings, so I'm going to give the game of,thrones a chance! I just ordered it off amazon 🙂 30 dollars for all 5!!
