Book Talk Tuesday

My rules?
1. All content must be appropriate for children in grades kindergarten through eighth grade.
2. Websites that you link to must be child friendly since lots of kids visit this site and if they click on your link, I want it to be appropriate for them.
3. Positive reviews only, please... we only spread love here at The Lemme Library!
4. Books must be available in The US. (you are welcome to link to ARC reviews)
5. I reserve the right to remove any reviews that don't meet criteria 1-4.
In the link title field, be sure to include the title of the book you are reviewing and your site name. In the URL field, please link to this specific post that contains the book review (That way people don't have to scour your blog looking for it!)  New... I have archived all previous Book Talk Tuesday Posts at this blog! Stop by and see what we have posted. I thought it would be nice to have all BTT in one spot.

The last week of school is upon me- with so much to do, I feel like I will never get things done! So many books to shelve, equipment to check it- and we are getting all new computers this summer in the computer lab. I can't complain too much since I only have to work 186 days out of the year. What are your plans for the week? Or... how did you spend Memorial Day weekend?

    Is it ok to post 2?

    And I love your trailer! I can't wait to read the book. Origami Yoda was my fave mg book of last spring!

    Last day of school is still two weeks away... can't quite think about summer yet. Must make it through my end of year "book swap" first!

    I can't believe I'm actually posting on BTT before Tuesday....this is a first for me! I spent part of the weekend with family in North Carolina and am spending today catching up with work and my blog. Hope you are having a good weekend, Kelly!

    Darth Paper Strikes Again is on the top of my list of books I’m looking forward to this year. Almost makes me wish summer were ending instead of just beginning.

    I really enjoyed your Darth Paper trailer! This week I'm hoping to catch the last fourth graders working on an imovie project with me. I've also got dinosaur research with second grade. Then there's a mountain of paperwork/report/etc for the end of the year to do.

    No major plans for the week. Just hoping the weather will be nice so I can read outside.

    I (Kid Lit Frenzy) linked to my Spellbinder review. I will be doing an interview with Helen Stringer and a giveaway on Wednesday, June 1st.

    Thanks so much for the opportunity to participate. I will be spending this week and next on the edge of my seat. Hoping the Vancouver Canucks will win their 1st Stanley Cup.

    I will be doing inventory this week. Boo! So, not the most exciting thing for me. However, I am thrilled as always to get to participate in Book Talk Tuesday.

    Wish me luck as I scan every item in the ECS Library this week...

    No Monday off for me, here in Budapest, but I am almost glad: SO much to do as we head into our final weeks. Hope everyone finds some time to relax during these busy days. I want to relax this week by reading these great book talks and making some comments! Cheers all, Sarah

    I'm' down to the single digits in my end-of-school countdown, and I'm getting a head start on my #Bookaday reading. Small as an Elephant is a beautiful book. If you haven't read it, pick it up.

    The Kidsmomo team spent Memorial Day at a picnic in Central Park. It was a lovely afternoon!

    School isn't out until June 16 for me. But the library is in the process of closing for the year. Thank you for hosting.

    We're not so directly affected by the school year - it's a regular work week for me. But I am hoping to participate in MotherReader's 48 Hour Book Challenge this coming weekend.

    Two more student days and a teacher workday on Friday wraps up the school year for me! I think I hear "Summertime" by Bon Jovi playing on Pandora!

    We took a road trip to Arkansas this weekend. Today was my 5-year-old's last day of preschool and my last day of volunteering at the school library. My 8-year-old gets out next Monday.
