Hedgehog Rumpus: your input here!
http://bookspeak.blogspot.com/2007/08/your-input-here.html
Friday, August 03, 2007. As some of you may know, I am returning to the classroom RIGHT NOW. Sadly, I got rid of many of my classroom library books and am now down to these 85 books. I had over 300 at one point. I'm building this for 6th, 7th and 8th grade; what were YOUR. When I was 11-13, I read a lot of Zilpha Keatley Snyder, Diana Wynne Jones and Robin McKinley. How about you? Labels: getting to know you. Judy Blume, Cynthia Voigt, Robert Cormier. August 3, 2007 at 5:40 PM. August 7, 2007 at 9:43 PM.

Hedgehog Rumpus: New Thing

Monday, August 20, 2007. Blogger has a new feature that integrates polls into the blog. I thought we could give it a shot, although I'm already not liking it as much because it does not support linkage. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Add to the Hedgehog Wish List.

Hedgehog Rumpus: September 2007
http://bookspeak.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 23, 2007. I've been wondering if it is time to put this book group to bed- this is the third year! By no means is this meant as a criticism; I know everyone has priorities and obligations and Life, etc. The weak efforts I've made at maintaining the site just don't seem worthwhile. Would anyone mind, terribly? Someone stole the story. This is my third Wynne-Jones book and I'm yet again feeling it lacked lustre. I couldn't figure what kind of story A Thief in the House of Memory. That's a...

Hedgehog Rumpus: May 2007
http://bookspeak.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 28, 2007. Photoshopped Children's Book Covers. These seem to pop up every now and then, but they are often amusing. I like the version of Caps for Sale. No- The Tiger who Came to Tea. Is better. (page seven). Friday, May 18, 2007. I had to fight to stay with this book. Was the ending obvious to anyone else? Monday, May 07, 2007. This month's book's author. Clicky on the title to be whisked away to Garret Freymann-Weyr's homepage. She gets my vote for Most Easily Misspelled YA Author.

Hedgehog Rumpus: July 2007
http://bookspeak.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 16, 2007. Absolutely, Positively Not. Hmm Absolutely, Positively Not. Was amusing, very tongue-in-cheek and I read it in one sitting. Favorite part: after Rachel cheers Steven for finally telling coming out and starts getting all squidgy on him, (pg. 126) she continues:. Which guy in our class do you think is the sexiest? I have no idea.". Actually, it was Victor Sanchez. Steven's answer is so quick, so definite; he's obviously put some thought into the subject. That still. Blow Out the Moon.
