I know exactly what you me...Hi there dearest Linda. I know exactly what you mean about Donalyn Miller's books - loved both Book Whisperer and this latest one Reading in the Wild - such strength in her voice, such passion infused into her teaching of literature - her books are definitely must-reads for teachers, the kind of book that you devour in one gulp then re-read again for finer points. :) <br /><br />Loved seeing all that you've been reading too! Wow - so many new-to-me books! The Australian YA novel caught my eye, will be on the lookout for that one - would have fit our Loss and Coming of Age theme. :) I'm glad to see A Separate Peace here too - I LOVED it. I have done a review of the novel for our coming of age theme and also included a few teacher resources that might be of help to you in your book group discussion.
