Dr. Seuss is celebrated during the month of March (it's a great month), so when I was scanning some quotes for the classroom I came across this gem.

And the first book on this update is rather full of nonsense :)

The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka

Pg. 51

Read this to Jordan & Madison at their elementary school's lil PTA thingy.
So it counts.
This book is just plain awesomeness.

The Magician (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel #2) by Michael Scott

Pg. 464

This book just seemed like everyone was tripping over themselves mixed in with some action.  And that action felt desperate at times too.

The Sorceress (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel #3) by Michael Scott
Pg. 502

This one is the best in the series thus far.  The author brought in more mythological creatures and peoples with his own spin to it, making things feel believable in a sense.  The action wasn't desperate all the time like the last book.  It also back tracks just enough that if you were to start off by just reading this book, you'll be all set and not annoyed with all the redundant details (but there are times that it feels as such).

Demon's Vow (Asylum Tales #3.2) by Jocelynn Drake
Pg. 96

The author is inspired by one of my "fantasy" favorite authors, Kim Harrison.
In this installment of book 3 part 2, you could really tell.  I did enjoy the story and how it led up to something bigger.  Still don't agree that it needed to be split up in 3 parts.

Tempted (House of Night #6) by P.C. Cast

Pg. 319

Stab me in the eye with a wooden spoon.
I tap out. I can't handle the 6 books that are left in the series. 
6 BOOKS!

Moth (The Moth Saga #1) by Daniel Arenson
Pg. 352

It was free.  A staff said that he really enjoyed the saga and that it's not "fantasy" but still not typical ordinary settings.  Half the world in light only, the other half in darkness.  War started by a religious zealot.  It felt like torture trying to read this book.  I went back and forth on how I felt about characters which is fine, but all the stuff in between just made me not a fan.  Most likely won't finish the saga. Unless I need something to read while I'm waiting for a library book.

Gregor The Overlander (The Underland Chonricles) by Susan Collins

Pgs. 326

I've read this a few years ago with the students, and now again with a totally new group of students. Very creative idea to get away from the pastoral feelings of most settings. And then the author went on to write The Hunger Games...

Maus, II: And Here My Troubles Began (Maus #2) by Art Spiegelman

Pgs. 136

Reading this book with the students in their history classes as a way for the teacher to go over the holocaust with them.  It still teaches the horrors of the holocaust but without all the heart wrenching photos they'd be exposed to with textbooks and videos.  Our students already have had exposure to those horrors from our 11 million steps project. I'm still not a fan of graphic novels.
