#Summer19TBRPart1

reading-plans

This summer I am taking two classes, I’m taking Librarian as a Teacher and African American Literature.  I thought it would be great to share the books that I will be reading for those classes.  For Librarian as a Teacher, I got to choose three middle-grade books from a list and then three picture books from another list.  For African American Literature all the books are required reading.

For Librarian as a Teacher I will be reading:
Ghost by Jason Reynolds
Raymie Nightingale by Kate DiCamillo
Wolf Hollow by Lauren Wolk
Can I Be Your Dog by Troy Cummings
Geraldine by Elizabeth Lilly
Julián is a Mermaid by Jessica Love

For African American Literature I will be reading:
The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois
Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
Beloved by Toni Morrison
12 Million Black Voices by Richard Wright
The Langston Hughes Reader by Langston Hughes
