Happy Spring!  Happy Easter!  I hope these warmer, sunnier days (at least here in Michigan!) are blessing you :)  It has been a busy winter for me, what with student teaching and all.  Graduation (!) is approaching - two weeks!!  As a fellow teacher said as we left school today, another chapter of my life is ending.  I've finished my student teaching, am preparing for graduation, and I'm ready to find a job!

I've been reading quite a bit since the beginning of January.  I've joined a sort of Book Challenge - to read 50 books this year.  I am doing well so far!  I've read 9-10 books each month, and just last night I finished book #32.  I've got a backlog of books to read from the library, and a whole lot of ideas I hope to share on here.  Be looking for some new additions!

Hello!  I was going to say something about how it was a grey January day, but I just peeked out the window and it is sunny!  What a happy thing :)  I'm currently reading Rose Daughter by Robin McKinley and really enjoying it, it's the third title of hers that I have read.  Her variations of familiar fairytales are captivating, I really enjoy them.  Expect to see some of these titles showing up in the Grownup Fiction area soon!

I've made a few changes to my Reading list to reflect the some of the multitude of books I've got checked out of the library right now. As part of my goals for 2006, I said that I would read at least 25 books this year (excluding picture books), so quite a bit of reading will happen this year and I hope to be able to keep this site up to date, reflecting the titles I have recently read and enjoyed.

I also made some changes to my Wishlist, to reflect the titles I recieved as gifts at Christmas time (Thank you!) and to include titles that I have read since then and would like to own. 

Have a great sunny afternoon!
