A Love of Reading

I love books! I have a stack of 23 books on my night table waiting for me to read. I read anything from fun and engaging picture books to young adult novels to historical fiction to non-fiction to mysteries and so much more.
There are so many great book lists you can find on the internet. Let me tell you, there is a book for everyone! Some of the book lists I like are:
http://www.goodreads.com/list/tag/middle-school
http://www.scholastic.com/parents/resources/book-list/favorites-classics/top-picks-middle-schoolers
http://www.teenreads.com/
http://www.ala.org/yalsa/bookawards/booklists/members
http://www.flamingnet.com/
I would be more than happy to give suggestions as well.  I am just a kmail away!
My goal is for every child to develop a love of reading. Sometimes all it takes is the right book!

Thought for the Day

I saw this quote and thought, "How true, what wonderful advice!"


"If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening; be patient. It may be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear."
~Winnie the Pooh
