Tic-Tac-Toe Book List... What to Read Next?

 It's the start of a new year!  That means new goals to accomplish.  I know many people have "Read More" on their lists of things to accomplish this year, but often people aren't sure what to read. .  

 Well, I have a fun little reading game to help you read more and possibly read something new that you may end up loving.  This Tic Tac Toe Book Reading List is a fun way to pick your next book.  

 When I was a teacher I would create these Tic-Tac-Toe charts for independent work time for my students.  The kids loved being able to choose what to do or work-on next, and I loved having them get their work done happily.  Sometimes I would say they needed to get a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, but some weeks they could choose.  

 Just like students, you can choose what book to read, and you can choose for a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line to "win" the reading game.  However, if you are an over achiever or love to read go for the Black-Out like me.  No peer pressure, but the blackout is what all the cool kids are doing. ;). 

 This is what I'm going to read for my BLACKOUT...

A Book Being Turned Into a Movie:

I know many Middle School boys that love this series.  It's about time I give it a go so I can truly talk "books" with them. 
The movie, The Seventh Son is due to come out February 6

A Book That Has Won An Award:

I always read the Newbery, Caldecott, and Printz books.  As soon as they announce those winners I'll be requesting them from the library. 

A Book By a New Author:

Rewind to You by Laura Johnston
This is Johnston's first book, and her second comes out this year.  I actually know her so it is even more exciting to read her debut book.  

A Book By An Author You've Never Read:

To my memory I have never read a book by Evans.  I know he is known for The Christmas Box but I don't recall it.  Have you read this book? 

A Book You Own But Never Read:

Moloka'i by Alan Brennert
It looks awesome and has received great reviews.  A setting in Hawaii which sounds great right about now, and it is a historical fiction which are so fun when done fabulously.  This year I'm reading this one!

A Graphic Novel:

I love a well done graphic novel.  They are a completely different reading experiences, and I think they are just fun.

A Book That Has Been on Your TBR (To Be Read) List:

I thoroughly enjoyed the Book Thief and this book by the same author has been on my TBR list for a good long while. There are always so many books to read. 

A Non-Fiction Book:

My husband got me this book for Christmas.  He knows how much I loved Bomb and being a guy he loves non-fiction so he gravitates towards buying me NF books.  I love that he buys me books, and I love being pushed out of my fiction comfort zone.  This book about civil rights, a disaster and mutiny all sound intriguing.   

A Classic:

I LOVE this series, like every other person in the world.  It's actually been a couple years since I've read them, and I've been craving it. I need more HP in my life. 


Are you going to play? How are you going to win the Tic Tac Toe Reading Game? 


Happy Reading!
