I read Rick Riordan's blog posts about what he reads:

Rick's Recent Reads
I have to confess that I read a lot. I know that some people don't have time to read, but I make it a priority. I was inspired by Rick Riordan's quote, "It fuels my engines and energizes me when I find new good books." That's me.
Finding new good books inspires my teaching and my writing. I know this is why I write weekly book reviews on Wednesdays. I want to share my finds and my cautions with others.
This weekend I finished reading A Noble Groom by Jody Hedlund. It is not a book I would share with my fourth graders, but it is good to read just for me. If you like Christian Historical Fiction, you probably would like this book. I also read Jody's blog and learn much from her as a fellow reader and writer.
I try to make reading a priority as well. I believe that if I want to instill a love of reading in my students, I need to have a true love of reading myself.

I agree. I know that it takes time, but it is time well spent.

Thank you for stopping by. I have quite a few posted on Wednesdays. I am trying to organize them by interest, so people can more easily find what they need.
