What Books Were Most Popular in June?

Time again for the Wandering Educators column dedicated to A Traveler’s Library. Each month that wonderful web site gives me space to ramble on about what happened the previous month here at A Traveler’s Library.

Take a look at my revelations about what you, the readers of A Traveler’s Library flocked to last month.  I will reveal that one of your favorites was the post by Christine Gros-Loh who talked about books to help children learn about Japanese culture.  Her post was so popular, and drew so many comments that I’ve invited her back  to talk about children’s books about Korea.  She also will be sitting in here on July 15 with a book for grown-ups about Japan.

Since I’ll be on a trip next week, you’ll have another treat when Michele Simeon, an American who lives in Finland, shares two novels by a Finnish writer–one on Monday and one on Wednesday, July 13 and 16.

Right in the middle of that, on Bastille Day, July 14, I’ll be talking to you (via a pre-scheduled post)  about a book about Paris .

Please take a look at the Wandering Educators site, not just for my column, but for all the other books and movies and photography and art and wonderful things they cover there. Today, by the way, they are talking about David Farley’s Irreverent Curiosity, discussed here on Tuesday and Wednesday.

So what are you betting on?  What do you think were the favorites last month? And once you’ve read the results, come back and tell us if you agree with the majority choices. If you had a vote, what were your favorite June posts 1,2,3? And of course you DO have a vote, every time you tell someone else to look at a post, or stumble it, or tweet about it.
