It's Monday! What Are You Reading? Brit Lit Edition
This year I've decided to join my good friend Jen {I think I can say that now that we've finally met IRL!} over at Teacher Mentor Texts in her It's Monday! What Are You Reading Meme! But because I have a hard time focusing :: wait...what did you just say? :: I'm going to focus on British KidLit because, well,...I lervs it.
Some of the Brit Lit Kidlit I read is ordered from Britain. I use BookDepository.com It is an easy way for me to get British releases that have not yet arrived Stateside or that I have a hard time finding over here. It also helps that shipping is free with no minimum order! {I have not been compensated for this shout-out, btw!}
So...here goes it...
Last Week's Book Perambulations

| Do you like this cover... |

| ...or this cover best? |
The signs were there. I purchased Jonathan Stroud's The Screaming Staircase at my school's bookfair. Then a fifth grader where I teach asked me if I had read it yet. Then Ms. O at twitter.com/senioritao went gaga over it...so I retrieved it from my TBR (To Be Read) pile. LOVE THIS BOOK. If you love Flavia de Luce, Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes, I feel like this is all that rolled into one and sprinkled with even more delicious details.
This next book is kind of a cheat. It is a book I read this week and one I'll read next week. In fact, I consult it every time I read some Brit Kid Lit! Did you guess it...?
