April showers bring May flowers! I love the month of May. Five years ago, I got married on a beautiful day in May. My husband has sent me flowers for our anniversary several times. The purple Dendrobium Orchids he sent me from Proflowers a few years ago were my absolute favorite. The flowers were simply gorgeous and lasted for-ev-or!
The beautiful weather we sometimes get in Chicago, not to mention the insanely busy work schedule, makes it a challenge to read. However, having great books lined up to read for the month makes that challenge much, much easier. I also belong to two book clubs. When I'm held accountable to someone else, I tend to reach my goals a bit more easily.
I found yet another way to motivate myself to read more. "One Book, One Twitter" (#1b1t). The winning title is Neil Gaiman's American Gods. I'm excited as I've read a few of Gaiman's novels, but not this particular title. For more information check out 1b1t
Last, but not least, Scholastic Books, Inc. holds a warehouse sale every May (usually August and December too) and I enjoy picking up books for my students and myself. I picked up a large box of books! I'm hoping the new books will keep me occupied throughout my long summer (of 4 weeks)!
Happy Reading!
