Here's the thing - my husband describes me as a "reading machine." I would describe myself as a book addict. My 7th grade students (who will often be referred to as "my kids") call me a nerd and look at me strangely when I tell them I read my latest booktalk book in only two days. However you would describe me, though, I go through books like nobody's business because once a book catches me I can't seem to do anything else.
Bottomline: I read because it takes me to a great place where I imagine the characters are my friends and their homes are mine.
I'm not really sure what this blog will come to be; all I know is, I love to write and I love to read.
My plan (for now) is to blog after I've read a book. I am currently on page 370 of Jodi Picoult's Handle With Care. I'll let you know when it's done (probably late afternoon today since I'm done with teaching for the summer and my only plan is to lay out by the pool and soak in the sun).
P.S. Read my "About Me" blog to know "about me." Duh.
