Cast Aside
There was a time not so long ago when my motto was, “a book started is a book finished.” Even though as an English teacher, I always tell my students, “if you start a book and don’t like it, don’t waste your time. Return the book to the library and try something new.”

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
Whenever I start a new book, I hand up a little sign at the front of my room broadcasting to my students what it is I am reading. It’s right by our due date calendar, so kids see it as they come and go. As soon as I put up my sign for The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, I had 2 or 3 kids come to me and tell me how much they loved the book.

Grace Jones Wrote a Book You Should Read
For the most part, I am reading purely for pleasure; and I find I want to explore time periods. One of those times periods has a lot to do with wondering what the impact of the world around had on my childhood and thus, the woman I’ve grown to be. I was born in 74, I was a young girl in the 80s, turning 18 in the early 90s. That’s a great big time span of incredible change that I’m sure affected who I am and what I believe. One only has to do a search for a timeline that shows the change impacts of those three decades.
