Since readers can read any of the war categories throughout the year, we thought it would be additional fun to host several read-a-longs.
In February, we’ll be hosting a read-a-long for Sunrise Over Fallujah by Walter Dean Myers for the Gulf Wars (this one is about Operation Iraqi Freedom). SCHEDULE TBD SOON.
In April, we’ll be hosting a read-a-long for the French and Indian War with I Am Regina by Sally M. Keehn. SCHEDULE released in March.
In June, we’ll be hosting a read-a-long for the Korean War, with War Babies by Frederick Busch. SCHEDULE released in May.
In August for the 100th anniversary of WWI, we’ll be hosting a read-a-long of Stella Bain by Antia Shreve. SCHEDULE released in July.
In October, we’ll be hosting a read-a-long of The Monuments Men by Robert M. Edsel and Bret Witter for WWII. SCHEDULE released in September.
In December, for the Vietnam War, we’ll be hosting a read-a-long for Going After Cacciato by Tim O’Brien. SCHEDULE released in November.
We hope that you’ll be joining us for at least one or more of these read-a-longs in 2014.

I’m in for August for sure. I’m just not into the Vietnam War, not sure why,
I hope to join in on the August read-a-long. Also The Monuments Men read-a-long in October. I may read it before then…
And the Tim O’Brien book in December too. Assuming I find a copy.
[…] 2. Sunrise Over Fallujah by Walter Dean Myers, which I purchased from Amazon with my gift card from Anna and her family. I’m not sure what else I’ll be buying just yet, but this is perfect for the February read-a-long at War Through the Generations. […]
I’m looking forward to these!
Thanks, Irene. I hope you join us in August
Tracy, it would be great to have you for both August and October
Yes, Tim O’Brien in December. I’m sure you can find a copy.
I am as well. I will have to update it with the French/Indian and Korean War books.
