Something to Read

​Keep coming back each month to find something new to read.  It won't always be a novel.  Look for plays, poems, short stories and more! 

Once again, I am going to give you a running list of what I am reading this year--it seemed to be popular last year.  I will start with June 2026 and run through May 2027.  If you want to talk about any of the books I read over the course of the year, find me and I will be willing to chat about books.  New additions will occur at the end of the month (so June's readings appear at the beginning of July).

Also, if you are interested in reading any of these books, they can usually be found in any of the following libraries: Graham's Classroom, North Salem High School's Library, Salem Public Library (they can borrow things from other libraries if they don't have it on their shelves).  If you prefer owning any of the books, they can be found in local bookshops or online--you just might have to shop around.
August

The summer is coming to a close, and I will be shifting my reading habits soon.

With that said, I was still focused on reading books for my classroom library or from Little Free Libraries.  

Included with that reading were several picture books.  I enjoy perusing them when they show up in our Little Free Library, because my boys are well past that stage and it is nice to see what's out there.

​Several of these books will be added to my classroom library this year, so keep an eye out if any of them look interesting.
July

I am continuing my run of eclectic reading.

This summer, I am focusing on books from two sources.  Nearly all the books I am reading come from either my classroom library or from Little Free Libraries.

I have spent the summer picking up and dropping off books at Little Free Libraries in four states (Washington, Oregon, California, and Nevada).  It's amazing what you can find at a Little Free Library.  If you are out and about and see one, stop by and see if your next read is waiting for you. 
June

Here's my reading list from June 2026.  If you can't tell, I am continuing my eclectic reading choices. 

A reminder that many of these books are from my classroom library.  I'm still trying to work my way through everything on my shelves.  If the books aren't in my classroom library, they can often be found in either your school's or your local library. 

Book titles show up in alphabetical order not in the order in which I read them.
