OMG! This month has been super busy. I just started a long-term substitute paraeducator position this month. I will be in this position until the last day of school, May 23rd. I hope to get caught back up at the end of May, or over the summer.

Just follow the links on their names! (Please note, that I am only a
member of Netgalley.) I hope to reach 100 books, or possibly more, by
the end of December! I have also seen an increase in my feedback ratio,
started the month at 18% and I am now at 20%. That is still nowhere
near the 80+% that they would like me to be at, but still an
improvement!

Lethal Weapons --- A NetGalley Review
Once again, we have a Great Debates book! This book talks about Gun Rights and the lethal weapons that may want taken off the streets. Since it is part of the Great Debates series, this book is setup in debate style, giving views from both sides. This seems like the perfect book for middle school age group.

Church and State -- A NetGalley Review
I wonderful book for the junior high setting that gives a history of the separation of church and state. I definitely like the debate style layout. This book is only has 48 pages, but is one of the most inspired books on the subject.

Cimarron Girl -- A NetGalley Review
Cimarron Girl is told from the view point of an adult looking back to childhood during the Dust Bowl. I personally do not think that this book was intended to be funny, but to tell a sad story of our country's past. And even with this, it could still be a children's book.
This book, is written in the eyes of Abigail. She is seven years old when the dust bowl began. She talks about all the hardships her family and neighbors faced. Many people don't really talk about this time, so I feel that it is important that this book is shared with children. It may even teach the children that they have it better than they think.
