It’s time for our first #MustReadin2019 update!
Are you making progress with your list? Distracted by other titles? Please share!
This year, my list is again 30 titles strong. I always have the goal of trying to read at least 20 of the books on the list. I have completed 15 of the 30 titles on my list so half way there!
Since the last update, I have completed these 6 books.
The Size of the Truth by Andrew Smith
Andrew Smith and middle grade? Yes, please. Such a read. Just love his characters and his brain.
The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise by Dan Gemeinhart
A story of grief and a whole lot of humanity. Beautiful book.
The Lost Girl by Anne Ursu
Kind of creepy. Part magic, part harsh reality, unbelievable and completely relatable. Devastating and full of hope. Wow.
The Dollar Kids by Jennifer Richard Jacobson
Such an interesting subject for a novel. A former mill town needs to attract residents to keep its schools and town from completely shutting down. A number of homes are offered to families for just $1.00 if they meet criteria and comply with specific conditions over the next year. This is the perfect chance for Lowen and his family to have a new beginning and more opportunities. It’s also a way for Lowen to try to leave behind the memories of a young friend who was shot. Would be a fantastic middle grade read aloud.
Hey, Kiddo by Jarrett J. Krosoczka
This is a tough one. But so glad it was shared.
The Bridge Home by Padma Venkatraman
I shed more than one tear with this title. Definitely a must read book.

Hi Carrie, miss seeing what you and your class is doing, but thanks for continuing our update link-ups! I’ve read and enjoyed every book you’ve shared except that first one by Andrew Smith.

You’re doing so well on your challenge, Carrie! I may have bitten off more than I could chew with my nonfiction books, but I’ve not given up hope. I’ll just have to buckle down and not get too distracted with all the shiny new books coming out each week. LOL Here’s a link to my fall update: https://millermemo.wordpress.com/2019/09/12/mustreadin2019-9-12-2019/
Always so many great titles! Thanks for participating!
Hi Carrie, I have loved the ones on your list that I’ve read. The Dollar Kids and The Size of the Truth are on my want to read list. I have put them on my tentative #mustreadin2020 list!

Size of the Truth was really fantastic!
Hi Carrie, loved your list and have read a few of these this year. Of course, we would not miss learning more about Sam Abernathy in The Size of the Truth, and I also loved Coyote Sunrise, Hey, Kiddo and The Bridge Home.
Here is my update: https://wrigglingbookworms.wordpress.com/2019/09/12/must-read-in-2019-fall-update/
Fun list! You are doing so well. Sam Abernathy is the best!
I accidentally posted my link back on the Spring Update. Don’t know how that happened. Lost Girl, The Bridge Home and Hey Kiddo are some of my favorites from your list. Thanks, as always, for helping us tackle our TBR in a fun community way. Here is my update. I made a lot of progress in the beginning, but have slowed down significantly. I think the goal is still possible. I want to read Coyote Sunrise since I’ve heard so many good things about it. http://readingtl.blogspot.com/2019/09/mustreadin2019-fall-update.html 🙂
Coyote Sunrise is a wonderful title! Thanks for being a part of this community!!
Limping in with my fall update . . . loved The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise and The Bridge Home. Not sure how much progress I can make since I’m so distracted by Newbery possibilities. https://pleasuresfromthepage.blogspot.com/2019/09/mustreadin2019-fall-update.html
Understandable! Reading is reading – lots of books distract us!
I posted my update late and then forgot to share my link so here it is: https://theakilahbrown.com/2019/09/22/mustreadin2019-fall-update/.
Late is lovely! Thanks for sharing!
