Everyone in my class, even Bob English Who Draws is paying attention today, because this is the first day of “How We Taste,” also known as The Science Unit of Destiny.

Quote of the Day – Liar & Spy
Once, Mom came home from work and discovered that he had turned all the books around so that the bindings were against the wall and the pages faced out. He said it was calming not to have all those words floating around and “creating static.” Mom made him turn them back. She said it was too hard to find a book when she couldn’t read the titles.

Quote of the Day – Liar & Spy
My name is Gorges, which is pronounced just like “George” because the S is silent, but of course some kids call me “Jor-Jess” or “Gorgeous.” I don’t much care. There are worst things to be called that Gorgeous, even for a boy.

Quote of the Day – When You Reach Me
“Nice tights,” I snorted. Or I tried to snort, anyway. I’m not exactly sure how, though people in books are always doing it.

When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead
“I still think about the letter you asked me to write. It nags at me, even though you’re gone and there’s no one to give it to anymore. Sometimes I work on it in my head, trying to map out the story you asked me to tell, about everything that happened this past fall and winter. It’s all still there, like a movie I can watch when I want to. Which is never.”

Favorite Fiction – When You Reach Me
A Newberry winner, and a book I truly enjoyed! I don’t want to spoiler, but do expect some mystery, awkward friendships, sandwiches, misunderstood bullies, a game show host, a homeless guy, and some slightly creepy letters from an anonymous writer.
Have you read When You Reach Me yet? What did you think?

It makes it easier to track your reading, leave reviews, share your favorite books with friends, and find more books based on the ones you currently love. And they also run giveaways so that you can add more books to your ever-growing To Be Read pile! Here are two MG reads that I think are worth signing up for:
