Spotlight Friday: August releases 8.04.17


Time to get ready for the weekend!
Kick up your feet and find a good place to read.
Sharing #booklove for your classroom or library.
Spotlighting a book or two because these books deserve the spotlight!


Wow!  There are a lot of August book releases that are on my must read list!  School may be starting, but reading is not going to end.
