Week of 10/5/2020
Fall into a good book!
Welcome!
This week we are celebrating all things fall!
Though here in Central Texas we see a very mild "fall" change in temperature, this week's fall books are better than a Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte!
Our fall theme is a great way to feature books that might not make it to some of the other highly popular lists but are great reads! Check them out!
Each week I will have a short video about the Smore as well as a list of books typically with a common theme, genre, or author. Important info about each Smore:
- Each book cover will link to a video book trailer or book review so be sure to click on them!
- I will also list where you can access each book under each cover.
Need something? Contact me via email (you will find my contact info at the bottom of the Smore) or checkout my library Blend page! (All students should have this on their Blend Dashboard)
Can't find a book you're looking for? You can request books (use the button at the bottom of the Smore) to be added to Sora, our online library.
