New books

Do you like borrowing new books?  Why?




Series or single books?

Do you like to read your way through a series?  Or do you prefer reading books that don’t have sequels or books where the characters are used again?




Where am I?

Use a book setting to design a “Where am I?”

Example:

I am on an island in the middle of a wide blue sea.

I have an Emergency Cave and a Lookout Palm.

Jack likes to sit on Selkie’s Rock.

Where am I?

 




Is it too hot to read?

What short, easy reads would you recommend for hot, sticky summer days?




Who would you cheer on?

I have read a couple of books where the authors seem to want the reader to cheer on or encourage a character or two.  I felt like that with Billy in “How to Eat Fried Worms” and Penny from “Penny Pollard’s Letters”.  Have you read any books like that?
