Beginnings

Welcome friends! I have started this entry in the global technosphere because I have been in love with books since the age of 2. Among the busy business of being a new teacher, this is my outlet for sharing thoughts on a love of reading a wide variety of books. My inspiration can be summed up with a yearbook quote from a teacher written when I was 8: "To the only girl at recess I see reading a book. Good for you!"
My blog title is quoted from a classmate who asked me this once. Believe it or not, I've also heard it as a teacher :D

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?


A weekly meme hosted by Sheila @ Book Journey.

I waited to post my Monday meme later today so I could finish Goblet of Fire this morning...and I did it!  It was so good, I can't wait to write the review :)

Read This Week:  (1)
Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire- J.K. Rowling--review coming soon

Other Books Reviewed This Week:  (1)
To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee--finished last week (click title for review)

Currently Reading
The Giver- Lois Lowry- for Back to the Classics challenge--I'm going to start this today.  I didn't get around to dipping into it as HP&GoF had my full, undivided attention :D

My Life- Bill Clinton--I'm hoping to get through a good chunk of this over the summer

Next to Read
The Picture of Dorian Gray- Oscar Wilde--I haven't read Wilde since The Importance of Being Earnest a few years ago & I really loved it, so here's hoping PoDG has the same effect.

Have a great reading week :)

  1. Hi!
    I read To Kill A Mockingbird a few weeks ago. Loved the book. The Giver sounds like a great book, it's going on my TBR list. Have a great day!

  3. Oh I did adore The Picture of Dorian Gray. It has been a long time since I have read it and I think I will re-read it. Enjoy your week and your books.
