Friday Hops February 24, 2012


Q: Activity!!! Take a picture or describe where you love to read the most…

Well my camera is currently not anywhere near me so I guess I'm going to go the "describe" route.  Personally, I LOVE to read in bed.  There are days, especially my days off, where I just don't want to get out of bed and spend a good chunk of the day under the covers with a good book.  My second favorite place to read, especially in the winter months when it's so cold, is in a nice warm bath (TMI?).  I'm all about keeping it real and so there it is out in cyber-space.  I like to read while taking a bath.


TGIF is hosted by GReads!.


This Friday's Question: 

Required Reading: Which book from your school days 
do you remember reading & enjoying? Is there a book published now that you'd like to see in today's curriculum for kids?

The book that I remember most from my school days that enjoyed reading so much that I continue to read it these days is Where The Red Fern Grows.  I remember my fourth grade teacher reading this book to us out loud in class and from that day forward I've been hooked.  The books that have been published recently that I would love to see as required reading in schools today are Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympian's series and the spin off series Hero's of Olympus.  In High School I took a class called Myths and Legends and LOVED it.  I think especially since so many of the new books that are coming out, especially in YA, are trending toward being dystopian or spin offs of a Myth or Legend that learning about said Myths and Legends is a great idea.  And as an added bonus these series are seriously fun right?!
