Novel in verse. I've read three novels in verse for this challenge. Our middle school is looking for a read aloud for next school year, and we plan to do a novel in verse in order to promote poetry more!

This is an ARC that will be published in May (by Sarah J. Maas).

This is an ARC from Pam Munoz Ryan. It is a MG book BUT it has 585 pages, so I am counting it as a 500+ pager.
Beautiful book!!

I love this book! We used this book in December for a lunch book club with 8th graders.

**I got this book as an ARC at NCTE**

I think this is the problem I had with one of my books! I used the app and it went to the "General" folder instead!

Set in Vietnam. YA book by Walter Dean Myers.

I had seen comments on Goodreads about the ending - so I read the end first. Cheating, I know!

I got this ARC at NCTE in November. I've had several students read it. I enjoyed it. I really like her Heist Society books too!

Hi, I'm Beth from Dublin, Ohio. I teach 8th grade ELA in a suburban middle school. Reading is one of my favorite things to do! I mostly read YA books so that I can recommend titles to my students. I have two teenage daughters, and we share titles with each other too.
This challenge will definitely help me expand my reading!
