Tuesday Slice of Life is hosted by the Two Writing Teachers blog. Visit to see all the other slicers' post. It will make a terrific day for you!
If you read my posts through the week, you know I've fallen into a routine. Mondays I review books, Tuesday is the Slice of Life, then there is Poetry Friday, and more lately, Saturday Celebration. I try to keep it simple, and enjoy the communities in which I participate. It's a plentiful, varied, and a learning week, about people's stories, what they read, what poets they enjoy, including all the writing talents observed and the amazing books shared.
However, sometimes it's important to break the habits for something a little different. This time, even after the Monday Reading sharing, I need to review another book. I've neglected reading some posts tonight, and other obligations in order to finish a book. Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan is one of the best books for upper middle grades (perhaps into YA) I've read in a long time. I literally have read almost 200 pages in the past day in order to finish!
