This winter, it feels like we live in the North Pole.  I am at home today and tomorrow AGAIN because of dangerously cold weather.  I was not expecting to have a day off today because it was a teacher work day for most of our district, but who am I to argue with the powers that be...I am happy to have the opportunity to catch up on some blogging and some grading.  

I just finished watching the ALA youth media awards.  I have some great books to add to my TBR!  I also was super excited to see that Amy Timberlake won a Newbery Honor for One Came Home.  She was the first author that I arranged to have visit my school.  Now, I can't wait to get back to school to share this news with my students!  Many of them have signed and personalized copies of that book!  

My reading was a little slow this week because I was bogged down both with the fact that I was catching up from being absent for Key West on Thursday and Friday of the week before and the interim report cards that were due on Friday.  

Books I Finished This Week:

I FINALLY finished The Clockwork Prince.  I did a lot of listening in the airport and on the plane so that I could finish with this audiobook.  I am a bit heartbroken right now and need to pick up the story in The Clockwork Princess to see what will happen with these characters.  I really enjoyed the narration of this audiobook and I have the audio of the next book as well.  

I have the galley of this book because I will be hosting Ilsa Bick at my school in a couple weeks.  I thoroughly enjoyed this creepy, thought-provoking book.  Watch for my review of this book later this week.  I was captivated by the horrifying events happening and the mystery of how these things are going on.  I am a little disappointed that the mystery is not resolved completely by the end of the book, but I guess that is to be expected when the book is the first in a series.  I highly recommend this book!  

Books I am Currently Reading:

I just started listening to The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon.  This is a really complex and interesting world so far.  I also started reading Everybody Sees the Ants by A.S. King.  

What's Next?

I have so many books on my shelves and on my Kindle that it is really difficult for me to decide what will be next.  Lately, I have just been going with my gut when choosing the next book.  I will probably continue to do that.  I may actually have time to finish a couple books because of these unexpected days off.  

What are you reading this week?  Any suggestions for me?  I would love to hear from you in the comments!  Have a great reading week!
