For the Love of a Book, Week 16
My “For the Love of a Book” series is back!! Mostly because I’m back. I still don’t think many are reading my blog (and that’s a crying shame because it’s awesome) but I’m going to keep resolutely pushing forward! I’ve been doing a lot of reading this summer and so today I am going to recommend an author, rather than one particular book. I don’t know how I missed this author and his books but I read one this summer and fell.in.love! Then I read his other four books in like a week. They are that good. His name is Alan Gratz.

This is a series that will probably never end since I have over 400 books in my classroom library – I have a lot to recommend!! Today, we’re looking at a book series that I first wrote about back in August of last year. I didn’t focus a whole post on the series, though, so I’m going to do that today. Plus, because the series is so awesome, it’s totally okay to feature it twice. That book series is Fablehaven by Brandon Mull. The first book is called Fablehaven and, obviously, that’s where…
