Friday Reads - Anna Dressed in Blood

This week I'm reading Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake.  I'm about 1/3 of the way and plan to finish it up this weekend.  Snap a shot of the QR code to learn more about the book!

Books You've Stayed Up For

Have you ever stayed up all night reading? Even knowing you had to go to work/school/somewhere important the next day?  Here are some books that have kept students and staff up all night!

• The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
• Hive by Mark Walden
• The Help by Kathryn Stockett
• The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan
• The Scorch Trials by James Dashner
• The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore
• Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
• Copper Sun by Sharon Draper
• The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
• Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
• Unwind by Neal Shusterman

Maybe one of these can be your next Friday Reads!

What book has kept YOU up all night?

Friday Reads - Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan

We've instituted a new Friday schedule here at Discovery Middle School. As part of our literacy initiative, we've set aside 30 minutes each Friday morning to read. That's everyone! Friday Reads helps us show the children that we are committed to building a culture of literacy here at DMS!

One cool idea, from Mr. Howard, is to post a cover image from Google Books.  I'm posting the QR code for my book!  Use a qr code app, like Red Laser, and scan the code.  It will take you to all of the information on Google Books!
