2018 Book List

Is anyone else fastidious about tracking their books!? I track through goodreads.com, booklikes.com, and of course – I have a book book. I write down everything I read, the author and how many pages the book was. I LOVE READING! It is my passion!

But I enjoy giving people great recommendations. I will keep a running list of the books that I have read here, and I will be adding in some of the reviews that I have done on other sites as I move forward. Not every book is everyone’s cup of tea (as my students point out to me often), but everyone reads a book differently. Imagination is a wonderful thing, and the adventures that one can take through the pages of a book can very often leave you breathless. Curl up in your favorite reading spot, and live a thousand different lives and journeys. From ages 0-110 – books are the easiest way to expand the imagination, learn new words, and experience the world. Satisfy your wanderlust from your couch!

I will update this list from time to time as we move through the year. I hope that you find some awesome new books, and maybe some old favorites too!
