What I've Been Reading
Here's a glimpse of what I've been reading lately.
Miles to Go by Miley Cyrus - I just finished reading this book, which I reviewed in May, to Kylee and Makenna. We seemed to be out of our bedtime reading routine during the summer. I think it took me three months to read this book to them. They did a lot more reading to themselves than me reading to them over the summer.
Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis - This book won the Newberry Award in 2000. I read it to myself about five years ago and thought it was great. I started reading it to Kylee and Makenna this week. They are enjoying it so far.
Closing the Achievement Gap: No Excuses by Patricia Davenport and Gerald Anderson - The school district I work for is using this book as a model for taking our district from a "good one to a great one." My take? It's a good book that describes an excellent school improvement system. I think my school system will implement the plan well.
Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer - This book was different. I missed the suspense that this type of book would usually have, but I did like it. Mainly, the book offers a glimpse into the mind of a vagabond.
Season of Life by Jeffrey Marx - After reading positive reviews by both Derry and Rob, I'm reading this book right now and enjoying it.

Carly and I both read "Miles to Go" this summer. It was good. I thought it was interesting before she got famous when she was having problems with mean girls and they were calling her dad a "one hit wonder." I mean, how many hits did their dads have? lol I hope Miley can keep her clean image.
