 Currently on my shelf (in a semi-dark living room--pardon the flash!):

What's on your shelf right now?

Waiting on My Bookshelf

It’s hard to believe that the semester is almost over, and with it, this term of teaching! I get rather sentimental about it.


But what I’m very excited about is READING BOOKS over break. I’m sure other English and writing teachers feel this way, right? I have started requesting some fun books from the library. So far, waiting for me are:

• The Attentive Heart: Conversations with Trees by Stephanie Kaza 
• Species of Spaces and Other Pieces by Georges Perec 
• A Lover’s Discourse by Roland Barthes

What else should I read over break? Any recommendations? What are you looking forward to reading?
