Tell Me What to Read: Round 3 (and a Giveaway!)

It’s the first day of school for me! I probably could not be more excited.

In the meantime, while I’m off teaching about the Caldecott award, how to use the Dewey Decimal System, and reading aloud until my voice disappears, please leave me your suggestions for Tell Me What to Read, Round 3!

It can be any genre, any age level, and have been published last week or three hundred years ago. You can pick it because it’s a book that everyone should read or because it changed your life or because it is great literature or just because it entertained you. You can DEFINITELY suggest the same book you suggested last month.

Here’s how it goes:

1. Comment with the title of one book you think I should read (any book you want). One title only, please, lest my brain explode.
2. Tomorrow, I’ll select one comment at random.
3. On the off-chance that I’ve already read the book you select, I’ll contact you and ask for a follow-up suggestion (make sure there is a way to contact you either by blog or email).
4. I’ll get a copy of the book and read it by the end of September.
5. I’ll write a review of it here. Even if I hate the book, I will not hate you.

And. . .go!

But wait, before you go, yesterday, I reviewed A Season of Gifts, and I have an extra advance reader copy of it that I’m giving away. Go comment on this post if you want to throw your name in the ring.

Happy Tuesday!
