Help Finding a Book for Choice Reading
Life is too short to read a book you aren't interested in or enjoying! If you've been given the opportunity to pick your own Choice Reading book for class or are looking to read outside of school but don't know where to start, check out these resources!
- Your Librarian is an excellent resource and reading wizard! Be it your school librarian or public librarian they'll be happy to help guide you towards a book that you'll love. That being said, email ME! I'll want to know what the last thing that you listened to, read or watched was and LOVED. That will help me match you up with some solid options.
