My Trip to Barnes & Noble

To read or not to read,
that is the question?

Well I know some of you were not thrilled with Wonder by R.J. Palacio, and others were really enjoying it. I think we will take a different approach to reading it after vacation. I really love the book, but can understand that the emotion outweighs the funny in the novel. So that said, I have a new book to add in to our afternoon! I know at least 50% of you already love this author...



Am I right? I think it will help breakup the emotional story and all the report writing we have been working on in the afternoon! I'm interested to see if those who have not yet read any of Rick Riordan's books (like me), think he is a good author.

If not, I have plan C. I'm pretty sure y'all will like this one! Has anybody read this? I think it will be a page turner! Make sure to read over vacation!
