We are teachers. By nature, we read. Sadly, it is not always possible for us to read what we WANT to read. In these busy school days filled with planning, crowd control, family counseling, grading, assessing, being assessed by our assessments, and let's not forget, an amazing lack of funding, it is SUPER important to take some ME time and read for pleasure!
So as part of our New Year's Resolutions, we have started this book club to inspire & motivate us to read. (It also helps that we both got Ereaders for Xmas!)
In the past we have read a lot of the same books, and tend to have similar opinions. So it will be interesting to see how we each feel about our selections.
Up first is The Help by Kathryn Stockett. This was a best-seller last year, and has been recommended (and loaned) to me (S. Dub) by a fellow teacher. JustyMac has graciously agreed to read along with me.
So here we go... In the words of our favorite Mexican restaurant server-- let's make this EPIC!
I came over to read you from Mary's blog. I am not an big reader but I want to be. I buy books all the time. Best of luck with your blog.
