Pages Total:

At school, my kids keep track of their pages every quarter.  I thought I would do the same, and I'm feeling REALLY good about this.  I've been in a bit of a reading slump this school year until I went to my YAL conference in December.  Since then, I have been reading like a fiend. I have been able to knowledgeably recommend many recently published titles to kids and it's been so super fun.  Since December 18th, I have read 9 of the books on my list, with one currently in progress, and two extra books that weren't on the list:

• Cinder by Marissa Meyer done, review here
• Vote by Gary Paulsen
• The Compound by S.A. Bodeen
• Just One Day by Gayle Forman done, review here
• Etiquette and Espionage by Gail Carriger
• Island of Thieves by Josh Lacey - reading now
• The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau done, review here
• Maggot Moon by Sally Gardner done, review here
• The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
• Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein
• Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys done, review here
• Imprisoned by Martin W. Sandler
• The President Has Been Shot by James Swanso
• March by John Lewis done, review here
• The Vine Basket by Josanne La Valley done, review here
• The Tragedy Paper by Elizabeth LaBan
• Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowel done, review here
• If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch
• Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan
• This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith I didn't read this one, but I read another by the same author (review here) and didn't like it enough to bother with this one 

And these are just the ones from my list. I also read Boy Nobody by Allen Zadoff (review here) and Independent Study by Joelle Charbonneau (review here).  That's 11 books in 3 months.  Not bad.

Pages total: 3,029 (+ 9 hours...Eleanor & Park was an audio book)

I would have made the Voyager Top Ten, but I would have been behind about four kids, one of whom has over 7,000.

Not bad for a full-time teacher and fuller time mom!
