Reading 
As a child it was my goal to read every book in the library. I didn't realize that more books would keep appearing on the shelves. As an adult I struggle to find time to read for pleasure, but I read a little at breakfast each morning and try to read more books every time I go off track. I also read several magazines every month. Here is a list of some books I have enjoyed lately. I hope you find an idea for something you would like to read.

one of my favorites (harsh language) The Land Girls ( Angela Huth) Fortune's Rocks ( Anita Shreve) The Buccaneers ( Edith Wharton)- I love books set in England. Plain Truth ( Jodi Picoult) - Her books always make me think about things. Keeping Faith ( Picoult) The Mitford Series ( Jan Karon)- really wonderful, gentle humor Motion to Suppress (Perri O'Shaughnessy)- I like this whole series by the authors. Bridget Jones's Diary ( Helen Fielding)- I laughed out loud on the airplane.

are books that I read when I was younger that inspired me to become a
teacher. You can still enjoy them as an adult.
