So far, during this Thanksgiving week, I have finished three books...yes, finished three...three that I had already begun. If a hazard exists to being in so many book clubs, that would be finishing them all on time! Ooopppss...shhhh....
These three further assist in my meeting my goal to average one book per week..going to make it! Yes!
- 48. A Handful of Stars by Cynthia Lord: This author met with the Arkansas Literacy Association...twice...to discuss this wonderful book. Then, I had dinner with her and appreciated the opportunity to hear her speak during our annual conference. Definitely in nerd land! Yay! About a young girl who lives with her grandparents who meets a migrant worker...who proceeds to change her life. Excellent story.
- 49. A Break with Charity by Ann Rinaldi: Beginning this year, I have chosen a young adult novel to read with each of my classes' thematic units...this one was paired with the reading of The Crucible. Told from the perspective of Susanna English, this time frame the reader views through a different lens. I wish I had finished it while were in the until...but, alas...that thing called time. Next year, I have this one marked up and ready to use!
- 59. The Chemist by Stephanie Meyer: Such a tremendous author! Loved this one! Meyer, author of the Twilight series, ventures out further with one for older adults, her second such publication. As I read, I kept thinking, "I would love to see this one on the big screen, also!"
I hope this season finds you with a little bit of time to read a book...or finish a book!
Happy reading!
