Reading Opportunity

This week has been a rough week for teaching but a great week for reading. I have been fighting a cold that has affected my voice and my head this week so I've been out of school a lot, but I haven't been completely couch ridden. Between naps I read a book called The Sparks. I heard about it from an email I got about an author who is doing some school visits in Michigan soon. I wanted to see if it was worthwhile to see if he could come speak at our school, so i read the book. It was pretty good. I read the 300 pages in less than 2 days. It drew me in and I am curious about the next books in the trilogy.

I am working to get him to come to the school to speak to us and to come visit my creative writing class. I'm excited about the opportunity for our students, but I am a little nervous too since it will require a preorder of 70 books to cover the cost of his visit, Yikes!

It's a really great opportunity for the students, and I hope it lives up to my expectations and my readers' expectations too.
