It's time to update my #MustReadin2018 progress! I am grateful for Carrie Gelson and the #MustRead community for encouraging me to make a reading plan for the year and track my progress. 2018 was a very busy year personally and professionally, so I wasn't surprised that I did not meet my #MustRead goal. As I reflected on my reading more closely this week, I felt better about my progress when I realized that I did read more than 21 books this year, but many of the books were not included on my #MustReadin2018 list. I'm excited to participate in #MustReadin2019, but I plan to be more realistic in my plan to account for new books that find their way into my TBR stack!
Books on #MustReadin2018 List That I Finished
The War I Finally Won ~ One of my favorite book series! I highly recommend the sequel to The War That Saved My Life.
Just Like Jackie ~ One of my favorite heart print books of 2018! I can't wait for Lindsey Stoddard's next book in 2019.
Fenway and Hattie: Up to New Tricks Grace and I are huge fans of Fenway and Hattie! We've read every book in this adorable series.
You Go First ~ I really enjoyed this book by Newbery Winner, Erin Estrada Kelly. I also loved reading Hello Universe this year even though it was not included on my #MustRead list.
Student Centered Coaching ~ In my role as an instructional coach, I've been doing a lot of professional reading this year. I also enjoyed Leading Student Centered Coaching: Building Principal and Coach Partnerships.
The Honest Truth - I've become a huge Dan Geminhart fan this year. The Honest Truth was actually a book recommendation from my son. I absolutely loved this book and plan to read more by Dan Gemeinhart in 2019.
Grump ~ Grace and I enjoyed reading Grump this summer. It's our new favorite in this collection by Liesl Shurtliff.
Bob ~ I actually read this book twice this month. After I finished reading it the first time, I knew that Grace would love this story, too. Bob is a special book that middle grade readers will love.
Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus ~ Aven Green is one of my favorite book characters of 2018.
