Book List 2008

I was inspired by my college friend and blogger Jeannie to record the books I read this year. I will say her list allows for varied taste. Mine on the other hand lacks variety due to my current status as a graduate student. I did start several books that fall into the inspirational, self-help, or fiction category but none I completely finished...so I have my first resolution for the new year...to read more fiction!

I already have one completed for 2009 and historical fiction ever! Don't get too excited I read it for an upcoming project I am was working on for a 4th grade teacher. Hey but it still counts! It is called A Day in the Blizzard by Marietta D. Moskin. It gives a detailed account of the locations the main character travels during the blizzard of 1888. Check out the Google Map I made for our students to follow as we read the story.

In addition to books I have read several status updates, countless journal articles, a bazillion blackboard discussion board posts, and an infinite number of blog posts/ articles that come through my Google Reader. As you can see this very well defines the reason I haven't the time to read much fiction. I cant' image going one day without the written word. Words are my friend! So keep reading!
