Summer Reading 
When I worked as a middle school librarian, I learned so much from an organization called TCEA- Texas Computer Educator Association. They have put out this summer reading guide with some great resources for students.

Adult Summer Reading
One of my favorite blogs, Modern Mrs. Darcy has released her picks for summer reading!! Let me know if you are reading any of them.

I guess I have a reading theme going on this week!

I found out on Tuesday that a sweet friend from college passed away. She had been suffering from cancer. She was a year ahead of me in my sorority, and she always stood out. She was sweet and always fun to be around. I feel so sorry for her husband and children!
I came across this list of an updated bibliography of books about loss and grief so in loving memory of Shannon, here it is. I hope it can help others!! Grief Bibliography 

Bill Gates’ Summer Reading List – Pretty self-explanatory. I always like to see what people like Gates read!

Kids don’t want parents stuff
I find it so interesting that millennials live so differently than my generation and older! I see it in the blogs I read as well as in my own children. I think that my kids will want some of the things that were important to my family. I know all too well thought that it really is just “stuff.”

Have a great ending to your week!! I hope these links give you something to think about!
