JUNE VLOG | FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR SO FAR

[@nicolewoulfe9262]

I love, love, love the Gilder Lehrman resources and online courses. It is incredible PD. I always appreciate your book recommendations, thank you!

[@kaylahatch5306]

Your book videos are always my favorite!!! I’d love to see a day of reading in your life of a teacher and mom and where you sneak it in! ❤❤

[@margaretzulich2420]

Thanks for sharing this!!

[@Caroli.Colibri]

💙💚 Can you please make a combo video where the first half is you writing in your agenda and the second half is a vlog of you doing the things on your agenda? I'm just wondering how you can read so many books while raising two kiddos and teaching full-time. Teach us your ways! 🥰 Did you read fiction while you were doing your masters program?

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

@@Caroli.Colibri That’s a great idea! I read ZERO fiction until I was done with my masters 😂 I took about a year off from reading entirely!

[@shaylamoss3265]

Thank you for the resource! It has so many great things I can use in class next year!

[@closetedhistory]

I love to reread books from an older age to see how my perspective changes. Thanks for sharing this list! ❤

[@hannahumphreys9897]

Adding these to my TBR list!!

[@claregravolet2092]

I also missed the original Tree Grows in Brooklyn phase so I should really go back and read it!

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

I wish I could go back in time and read it! 😂

[@maryclaireking1883]

Yes, the women has been great to learn more about the difficulties of returning from a war most back home didn’t want.

[@wendykintigh9361]

That program looks so good. That is for sharing all your books. I added a bunch to my summer list.

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

My summer list is getting so long! 😂

[@antoinettecorbin1326]

I definitely will be adding New People and Caucasia to new list of summer reads. Thanks for sharing these wonderful books.

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

They’re so good! And her husband wrote James, which is also on my summer list!

[@antoinettecorbin1326]

James is in my cue on Libby 😊

[@monicaortiz8346]

I can’t wait to check these out! ❤

[@HistoryWithTiffany]

Their program is great and I love the access to professors from all over the U.S. that would not be an option otherwise. Excellent book recs as always!

[@maggiemay523]

I did the GLI Master’s program! So great! Graduation is on the 10th.

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

Oh wow congrats!!

[@natalie3104]

I love seeing your two cutie kids! 💕 also A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is so comforting to me!!! Read a few years back

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

I kind of wish I’d also read it as a kid in my formative years, but I’ll just make my own kids read it now! 😂

[@nikkiclark4684]

Thank you for the book reviews and suggestions.

[@BilingualSTEAMTeacher]

After listening to “The Rediscovery of America”, this makes me intrigued and curious to read “How to Hide An Empire”. Thank you for the suggestions!

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

Oooh I’ll have to read that one next!

[@whatsupnoww]

I think I’ll finally read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn!

[@destinyclarke9479]

I am reading How To Hide an Empire right now and my jaw has been open the whole time. I didn't know so much that was included.

[@elizabethbradley7794]

I love your videos, and am always learning from you.

[@JulieHalton]

Caucasia is one of my all time favorite books! I liked New People a lot. It was one I didn't think I liked along the way then I couldn't stop thinking about the characters when I was done.

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

That’s how I’m feeling now, I keep thinking about them!

[@MilisaZiegler]

I love their resources! Everything I have used has been top notch and I love their teacher affiliate program.

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

Oooh I’ll have to check out that program!

[@unknowncommenter8827]

I enjoyed looking at your bookshelf! I’m trying to read more, but I am such a slow reader. There was a book you described on one of your Instagram stories-it was about like these six boys being diagnosed with schizophrenia. Sounded so interesting! I added it to my Goodreads.

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

Oh yes, Hidden Valley Road! It’s so fascinating

[@michelleromero3425]

I already took a book from you and now you’re making me want to take more off your hands with these reviews! 😂❤ Love your vlogs!

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

There are just too many good ones! 😂

[@yilian7075]

Love your channel! This year, I will switch from secondary school teaching to elementary schools. Do you know a channel cool and fun like yours, but focusing on elementary levels? Thanks!

[@marygraceserrano9769]

Awwww, wi!l read How to Hide an Empire. Watching your vlogs from Philippines

[@laurag3320]

I'm reading How to Hide An Empire and The Women.

[@VeronicaKarkova]

Megan, the price for that masters is a steal!

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

I know, it makes me sad 😂 I wish I could go back in time!

[@meganpoppler7459]

Loved Shanghai Girls!

[@karenlimahai5946]

Interesting as usual. I just watched the Jonestown documentary. Horrifying.

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

So horrifying! I wish that this character’s dissertation was real because I would totally read it. It was about songs of resistance within the cult.
