Olson, C.B. (2007). The reading/writing connection. New York, NY: Pearson Learning.
This book should be the bible for all English teachers. After spending a semester working with this book I feel I have barely scratched the surface of all the useful activities and perspectives this book has to offer.

Tomlinson, C.M. & C. Lynch-Brown (2007). Essentials of young adult literature. New York, NY: Pearson Learning.
The informational portion of this book is not exceptional but the extensive annotated bibliographies of YA Lit are current and cover every subdivision of this genre.
