I enjoyed reading about the books you read. I liked the Goose Girl.
I loved Brown girl dreaming…great book.
I haven’t it read Rain Reign yet and didn’t realize it was funny. I look forward to reading it.
Nice to meet you Burt!
I am reading Brown Girl Dreaming right now. I started it at the first of the year but I had students who wanted to read it so I let them and now I am finally getting to it.
I enjoyed reading The Crossover by Kwame Alexander too, and I’m looking forward to reading it again and discussing it with our students next year for Battle of the Books. Thanks for sharing!
