I received a Kindle for Christmas, and with that a renewed interest in reading. As a Language Arts teacher, reading is a requirement. But, reading for enjoyment had sadly gone by the wayside. I made a resolution of sorts to read 100 books in 2010. However, I know that if I didn't find some way to keep track of the books I read and hold myself accountable, I would never fulfill this commitment. Thus, this blog!
My reads for January are:
1. Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon
2. Bel Canto by Anne Patchett
3. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
4. The Bookseller of Kabul by Åsne Seierstad
5. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows
6. The Hunger Gamers by Suzanne Collins
7. The Patron Saint of Liars by Ann Patchett
About Me
- Kristin_G
- I've always loved reading. I was the kid who would chose sitting inside on a warm summer day reading, instead of playing outside. Sending me to my room as punishment would backfire -- all of my books were in my room! I needed a job where I would be required to read. I've been teaching middle school students since 1996. Depending on who you talk to that either makes me a saint or insane. I'm currently teaching 8th grade Language Arts, Literature and Algebra. Quite a combination and one you don't see too often. Unfortunately, life has gotten in the way of reading. 2010 is going to change that! My husband and I met in a chat room in 1998. We've been married since 2005 and have a beautiful daughter, Amelia, who was born in 2007. The three of us, our many, many books and our menagerie of animals (5 cats, 2 gerbils and an assortment of fish) live quite happily in the suburbs of Chicago.
