  1. Hi Landon!
    I am thrilled to find you here. I think of the Rangers Apprentice series as adventure books, but they are set in an older time. I think the Charlie Thorne books are great too. They are contemporary and full of action. If you find yourself interested in King Arthur then make sure to check out the Dark is Rising series – five books my Susan Cooper. They are great!
    📚Happy Reading
    Mrs Eaves

  2. Hey mrs eaves I miss you I wonder if you have any recommendations of other action/adventure series/books

  3. Great Idea!!! Mrs. Eaves has a book called “Good Books, Good Times” that is poetry all about books. Some are funny and some are serious but they are all awesome! She included a poem from that book in one of her comments:

    “Books to the Ceiling”

    Books to the ceiling, books to the sky.
    My piles of books are a mile high.
    How I love them!
    How I need them!
    I’ll have snow white hair by the time I read them.

    Thank you for the great suggestion!!

    ~Matt

  5. I love the categories. I wonder if you could recommend some poetry as well. I love poetry and am always looking for collections that might speak to older students. Thanks!

  6. Shouldn’t be a problem. It is a matter of copying/ pasting some html code from Shelfari into a widigit box in Edublogs. Will certainly help out! Might have to be via phone / computer for awhile…
    🙂

  7. Hi thanks for your continued support. Matt and I were pretty psyched about shelfari. Not sure if can go on edublogs though. We have to keep exploring. You may hear our plea for help soon.

  9. Hi!
    Shelfari is an online resource to help visually organize your books. You can use it like the blog (any web browser). It creates a “shelf” you can then embed in the side bar of your blog. Not sure if it would help promote the blog, it might as people can read your reviews there if you chose to post them there too and you could refer them to your blog. I’ll try to find and post a link to an example soon.
    Philadelphia was great. You and your classmates work was very popular among the techy teachers! All were impressed at the amazing work you all did! Saw and learned lots…plenty to think about. I’ve not been reading enough and certainly not as much as you!!! 😀 Keep up the wonderful reviews!

  10. Hi Mrs. Wyman!!
    How was Philadelphia? Reading lots of books? Thanks for the suggestion for Shelfari. Is it only on Macs since its safari–>Shelfari, similar. But does Shelfari promote your blog or just organize it? Because I think that the tag cloud promoted it somehow. Thanks for commenting!! We haven’t had too many comments lately. I’ll look into shelfari!
    Happy summer!
    Matt

  11. Sorry… That was supposed to say
    If you run into”techie trouble”, give me a shout…
    🙂

  12. Hi! Happy summer filled with reading…
    The list of books you’ve been sharing is growing! The tag cloud looks good to (it appeals to me as a visual person). Just wondering if you’ve considered using another digital tool to track your reads…? Shelfari is the one that comes to mind, but I’m sure there are others too. Shelfari creates a virtual book self for your blog too. Don’t know if you need more “techie tools”, but figured I’d throw that idea out there! 🙂 If you run across any re ie trouble, give me a shout! I’m around.
    -Mrs. Wyman
