It does sound like my kind of read. Thanks for sharing your top reads in 2014 - most titles are familiar to me. I also am trying to find the time to read AJ Fikry. Sounds like a book for bibliophiles. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-56308261393710375352014-08-18T19:13:06.452-07:002014-08-18T19:13:06.452-07:00Gah, thank you for the reminder.

It's one of those lingering titles for me--one I want very much to read, but it keeps getting shuffled because it's audience is probably not my 4th graders!

Because of your review, I've added Absolutely Almost to my nightstand pile. I can't wait to read it! :)Ricki Ginsberg at Unleashing Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086548238873957327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-6527300562744989852014-08-18T18:45:04.257-07:002014-08-18T18:45:04.257-07:00Pinned this list because there are so many I need ...Pinned this list because there are so many I need and want to read. It seems like there are always more and more books I need and want to read--too many great authors writing great books! <br />I loved Can We Save the Tiger? and The Most Magnificent Thing. I am glad you liked them both. <br /><br />Happy reading this week! :) Kellee Moye (@kelleemoye)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11912740016918990989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059745967759944669.post-53368219438893483982014-08-18T13:57:25.696-07:002014-08-18T13:57:25.696-07:00Isn't ONE amazing?

From your "best of summer" titles - I have many of the same on my list - Three Bears in a Boat and Magnificent Thing - among my favorites. From your list this week - I ADORE Flashlight - it was on my 10 for 10 list a few weeks ago! The Night Gardener and Beach are the two that stand out for me that I want to read NOW! Thanks so much!

I also read so many terrific middle grade titles this summer and didn't get to even a quarter of what I had planned to read (which leaves many books that are vying for a spot on my #MustReadin2015 list!) Elisha Cooper's Farm is one of my favorite mentor texts for writing. There are so many sentences that just stop me in my tracks! He is a terrific writer. I had big plans for reading lots of PD this summer, including the Linda Rief, and I didn't get to anything. Thanks for reviewing Teaching Reading in Small Groups. Looks like one I need to read.

I loved Absolutely Almost, too, have passed it to several teachers already. I also like the ideas you have for Beach-will look for it too. I've seen others who have enjoyed it.
