The Great Gatsby

Fitzgerald, F. (1925). The Great Gatsby. New York:  Scribner.

I first read The Great Gatsby when I was a junior in high school.  I enjoyed it then.  I have had the wonderful opportunity to read some books multiple times.  But since I mainly teach British literature, I haven't had Fitzgerald shoved down my throat.  I actually had only read Gatsby once until I decided to re-read it before the movie.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Carle, E. (1969) The very hungry caterpillar. New York:  Scholastic.

The public library in my county gives a new book to children on their birthday.  Brody received The Very Hungry Caterpillar for his first birthday.  Honestly, I'm not sure if I ever read this book before.  I know it is very popular for early elementary classrooms.  In fact, the caterpillar is EVERYWHERE!

Still Reading

I promise that I haven't quit reading or writing.  Life is just very busy at the moment.  I finished my first year of graduate school!  Yay!  The school year ends this week! Yay!  We are currently moving, so I haven't had much time to update this blog.  I'm not really sure if anyone reads this anyway.
