May and June

My lower back is not an advocate for the way I prefer to spend my summer. Around 5:00 a.m. it typically lets me know that spending the previous day reading on the couch was maybe not the best idea. I tend not to listen.

This is a series. I enjoyed the first book but lost interest after reading the second.

Have you read Everything, Everything? If not, do. Then read this one by the same author!

2017 Reads

2017 hasn't been my best year of reading to date. I hate to say that I've been busy because that typically sounds like such a lame excuse, but I've been busy. Anyway, here are a few month's worth of what's been read from my shelf.

I've read all of Silva's books. I'm a sucker for European settings.

I typically don't reread books. I could reread this one. It's amazing.

5 stars
Unexpectedly worth every star. I've recommended this one a lot!

I'll be back soon with May and June. In the meantime, happy reading.

P.S. And if you're looking for a teacher book, I've recently published Gatekeepers: Let's Talk About Teaching. You can buy it through me or on Amazon!
