Hello everyone :)
Yes today is the last day of July, it is kind of like the last day of summer for me, because once we get into August, I start back into school mode. So yeahhhhhh July, 31st!!!!!!
Sorry for being soooo absent on the blog, in fact I think this is my first entry. Well anyway, good work Kaati on kickin' it and getting some major reading done and posting your book conquests for others to take in. Sorry that I can't respond to any of your blog requests, but I will try to pick up the next book in the Great and Terrible Beauty Series and post some comments about it.
And thank you Miss Bee for the suggestions and the thought provoking questions. Hmmmm when I'm at home, my favorite place to read is my kitchen table, with cereal or a good snack handy. My second favorite place to read is my lazyboy recliner, but then I run the risk of my grandpa syndrome catching up with me and taking a good long snoozer.
I've been teaching ESL this summer to mostly Koreans, a couple of Latin Americans and one man from Africa at UW- Eau Claire, and we're reading Holes, so I've been working a lot with that book which is always a blast because I really like it. For fun, I read Ender's Shadow and I just started the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, but our ESL group went to Chicago this last weekend and I forgot the book in the hotel room (oooooooooooooh nooooooooo!) So I will be going to Borders (there's no Barnes and Noble in Eau Claire) to pick up a copy to replace the one I lost from the library. Speaking of libraries, one of best perks of my summer job here is that the university library is just a hop skip and jump away from my room, so a good read is never far away :)
Well, when I finish the Sisterhood I'll definitely post something, and then I'll try out the new one from Great and Terrible Beauty series. Enjoy what is left of summer!

Sounds like you've been busy!! How do you like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?
If you like it you should really try the Sarah Dessen books they are similar.
Are you back at HHS on 8/1? I am back working in the LMTC on a special project.
Yeah pretty busy summer, I didn't mention the courses I took at the beginning of the summer either. anyway, I'm not done with the Sisterhood book but I'm liking it, although I was getting frustrated with the Carmen's father, I thought he was a real jerk to spring the new family thing on her, and I was frustrated that Carmen didn't realize earlier that she should be mad at her Dad instead of her. I'll write more later because I have to go now!
Sorry a little emergency poped up there but all is good now. I was saying that Carmen should be angry at her Dad instead of at her Dad's new family. The parts with Tibby and her friend Bailey with cancer are real tearjerkers. I hope I'll be able to finish the book tonight. I don't think I'll be back at the High School until the 14th for Soccer practice, but I'll pop in and take a peak at your "project" that you'll be working on. Take it easy!
