Finally!!!!

I have found a book that makes me want to drop everything and read.  It is Austenland by Shannon Hale.  I needed a quick and easy read, and this is it!  I just started today, and I'm already halfway through.  The downside is that I have not written the first lesson plan yet.  Ah well....  It's being made into a movie.  I highly recommend it!

Bookin' it...or not!

I am in such a reading slump right now.  The past two years, I have set reading goals for myself.  In 2011, I read or listened to 58 books.  Typically, I read every day.  In addition to the book I'm reading, I listen to one on audio while I get ready for work and in the car.

These past two weeks, my mind is all over the place.  I simply cannot focus.  I have started and stopped 4 books.  I want to stop listening to The Book Thief, but I'm doing it for a book club.  I mean, it's an award winning bestseller, but I just cannot be bothered.   I have got to get it together.

I have a Goodreads account  and love reviewing books.  Once I get my groove back, I will also add my reviews to my blog.  This way I may actually make regular posts.  Here's to hoping I get it together.
