What Authors Read


I read Rick Riordan's blog posts about what he reads:
Rick's Recent Reads for March '13
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.

  1. 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.

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

    1. 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.
