Last Week's Adventures:

Last week I finished reading Ann Braden’s upcoming novel Opinions and Opossums and it is sooooooooo good! I also read more of Welcoming the Unwelcome and started listening to Pilar Ramirez and the Escape from Zafa by Julian Randall. 

This Week's Adventures:

I’m about halfway through Pilar Ramirez and the Escape from Zafa so I’ll continue to listen to that. I also got a ton of Celtic mythology books from the library. One is a middle grade novel so I’m really interested in that but also in exploring the others as well. I’m all stocked up for winter break reading…our break starts on Thursday!

Last Week's Adventures:

I read more of Welcoming the Unwelcome and I read some of The Beginner’s Guide to Runes as I’m waiting for my Celtic mythology books to come in at the library. At NCTE, I was able to get an ARC of Ann Braden’s book Opinions and Opossums and I am about halfway through. It’s so great! 

This Week's Adventures:

This week I’m sure I’ll finish Opinions and Opossums and I have an ARC of Grounded by Aisha Saeed, S.K. Ali, Huda Al-Marashi, and Jamila Thompsons-Bigelow that I’m looking forward to reading. I’ll continue reading Welcome the Unwelcome and exploring The Beginner’s Guide to Runes.

Last Week's Adventures:

Guess what…I didn’t read like I thought I would. I am savoring Welcoming the Unwelcome by Pema Chodron, her words seem to always be exactly what I need when I read them.

This Week's Adventures:

This week I’m sure I’ll read more of Welcoming the Unwelcome and I’ve been talking to a friend about my Irish and Welsh heritage which has encouraged me to explore Celtic mythology. So far I’ve been reading things I’ve found online but I think I’d like to also explore a book, especially a book for kids.

Last Week's Adventures:

I had every intention of reading last week…but my brain needed a break!

This Week's Adventures:

This week I plan on continuing listening to A Snake Falls to Earth and then I have Opinions and Opossums by Ann Braden and Grounded by Aisha Saeed, Huda Al-Marashi, Jamila Thompsons Bigelow, and S.K. Ali to read from NCTE. Both are due out in May 2023 and look amazing!

Last Week's Adventures:

Last week I FINALLY finished reading The Stormrunner. I loved the whole thing but I especially love how things came together at the end. I also read more of Welcoming the Unwelcome and have started listening to A Snake Falls to Earth. I need to unpack my suitcase and look closely at the books I picked up from NCTE! I’m excited for that!

This Week's Adventures:

This week I’d like to listen to more of A Snake Falls to Earth and continue reading Welcoming the Unwelcome and then I’ll explore my NCTE finds. I’m looking forward to a quiet week after a day of school and parent-teacher conferences.

Last Week's Adventures:

Last week I finished listening to Fahrenheit 451 and then listened to The Last Human by Lee Bacon. I started listening to Matthew McConaughey’s memoir Greenlights. I also finished reading Dear Writer, Are You Intuitive? by Becca Syme and Susan Bischoff and read some of The Stormrunner.

This Week's Adventures:

My plan is to finish listening to Greenlights and to read more of Welcoming the Unwelcome. Anything by Pema Chodron I really enjoy reading slowly. I’ll read more of The Stormrunner this week, I’m determined to finish it soon. I’m also off to NCTE this week so we’ll see what I read. Hopefully I pick up something fabulous while I’m there! Will I see YOU there?!

Last Week's Adventures:

This week I took some time to replenish as a reader and did some different reading. I got a new book from Pema Chodron called Welcoming the Unwelcome that I have been reading slowly. I read the first chapter twice this week and let myself really soak it in. I’ve read a little of Justina Blakeney’s book The Bohemians and I also read two Zentangle books. Finally, I’m halfway into Dear Writer, Are You Intuitive? by Becca Syme and Susan Bischoff. 

This Week's Adventures:

I’ll get back to listening to Fahrenheit 451 this week and will read more of Welcoming the Unwelcome and I’m sure I’ll finish Dear Writer, Are You Intuitive? It’s been really nice to change it up a bit and explore some nonfiction that nourishes me as a human outside of my teaching life…while it still makes its way into my teaching life!

Last Week's Adventures:

Last week I finished listening to Amari and the Night Brothers and re-listened to Anthropocene Reviewed. You know how sometimes you love a book so much that it’s hard to let it go? I just needed to listen to John Green’s words again.

This Week's Adventures:

I’m still reading The Storm Runner and will be listening to Fahrenheit 451 because one of the groups picked it for our dystopian book clubs and I’m fairly certain I’ve read it before…but it’s been since high school so rereading it makes sense! I also have two books by Justina Blakeney from the library to explore for some creative fun.

Last Week's Adventures:

I stalled a bit with my reading. Officially. I read a little of The Storm Runner and listened to a little of Amari and the Night Brothers. That’s where I am. A little bit of progress.

This Week's Adventures:

This week I hope you make better progress. Life ebbs and flows, right? It’s the end of the quarter and narratives were due last week and I had my observation…so I’m giving myself grace and I know I’ll pick back up soon. I hope y’all are doing well!

Last Week's Adventures:

Last week I finished Song for a Whale and I completely LOVED it. I worked with students who were deaf and hard of hearing for ten years and they will always be close to my heart so reading this book was awesome. This writing was amazing. I also listened to John Green’s Anthropocene Reviewed and absolutely loved it. I liked the format of the book and how he wrote about his life through essays about humans. So great. I also read Anna Quindlen’s Write For Your Life and enjoyed how she talks about her love of writing and the importance of it. 

This Week's Adventures:

I’m behind on The Storm Runner by J.C. Cervantes. I just need to sit down and read it…which shows how much I depend on audiobooks to get my reading in. I started listening to Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston and I’m intrigued by it so far.
