Lots of new books for the new school year!

I spent a great hour today browsing through our many new books. Here are a few covers. Can't wait to read some more tomorrow and display them for our students to see on Wednesday!

Clicking on each cover should take you to the book's page on Goodreads.com. If you don't have a Goodreads account yet, you should! It's like Facebook but for readers. It has covers, summaries and reviews for every book published in English, and lots published in other languages as well. You invite your friends and they get to see what you are reading, as well as recommend books for you. One of my favorite features is the Goodreads challenge. Every year for the last 3 I have challenged myself to read 365 books. As I count picture books and children's literature in addition to the adult books I read, it's not that hard to reach that number, but right now I'm 28 books behind!! Good thing we have so many great new books.

Note: As I read more and more books, this widget may change. Right now there are 18 wonderful picture books but since CAC has a great book collection, it could change to include different. Moral of the story: Read the blog posts when they arrive!! :-)
