Books

I made a goal at the beginning of the summer to read at least one hundred young adult books. I am teaching older students now And I really want to be able to match kids with books. You can't do that unless you know both the student and the books. So, I created the goal of one hundred books.

Right now, I'm on track for meeting that goal which is more than I can say for my eat healthy goal or exercise daily goal. I think I have 28 books to go. But even though I am nearing goal completion, I find myself panicking. The more books I read the more I find that I want to read.

Last night I moved my reading list from the app I had been keeping it on to Goodreads. I won't delete the other app right now but I think Goodreads will offer a bit more functionality? I need to explore it to find how I can allow my students to recommend books for me even if they do not have a Goodreads account. Last year I just gave them my iPhone and asked them to write their recommendation in the app I was using. I like getting recommendations from the students and I like discussing books with them.

Twenty eight books to go. I'm reading Nerds right now because Wyatt recommended it. Time to get back to the book!
