Hello! I'm writing to ask for your help, and I promise it'll take less than a minute of your time--well, this does depend how language obsessed you are, or how much of a judger or perceiver you are, he he.
The Title Survey: I am working with Jossey Bass to decide on a title for my book, which is about a fresh method for teaching whole class novels, which I've been calling Whole Novels. We've created a 2-question survey with some potential titles.
Survey link: HERE
I really appreciate your help!
To understand more about what the book is about, here are pieces articles I've written about it:
Reading Fiction Whole (Education Week)
My Co-Teachers Weigh In on Whole Novels
A Novel Community (CTQ video)
If you have comments or suggestions about the titles, feel free to leave them below.
Thank you!

I completed the title survey. You have real good choices there, Ariel. I can see how each would work. My two cents after reading and re-reading them over the past week of idle...did you consider using the verb, study, as in the study of literature? Do you think it is too loaded? I love the simplicity of name Whole Novels. And ending by providing the setting of . . . in the classroom.
I am so happy your work is coming alive in book form! For you, as well as the ELA teacher who loves the art of literature. And can now teach an understanding of why . . . "the world is (was) hers for the reading." ATree Grows in Brooklyn
