A...Oh my goodness - you guys are no help at all :)<br /><br />Alice I Have Been seems to be a popular favorite, and truthfully, I do hope to read this prior to my 9th graders reading the Louis Carroll Classic.<br /><br />Noah's Compass is truly calling my name - as Verity verifies, and many other book reviews.<br /><br />Kay - you bring up a wonderful point about the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo -- I love the idea of reading all 3 in succession. Perhaps I will just read a chapter (or two) to whet my appetite.<br /><br />I will be happy to listen to a few of the Grammar Girl tracks and let you know how they are. My current thought is to play one or two "lessons" for the class -- give them a quick handout to complete and reinforce the concept - and then move with the days lesson. This, of course, is always subject to change.<br /><br />Vasilly - thank you for identifying yourself as the "bunny trail" :) I have already read half the book and have truly enjoyed it!<br /><br />I plan to start listening to the Stephen King book, On Writing, in the car. I currently reserve my treadmill audio books to Harry Potter - but I think Mr. King might make some tedious driving more exciting!<br /><br />Laza - each day I have students at school asking me if I have started the Percy Jackson series. I think I may have to read that just to have something to report to the students!<br /><br />Unfortunately, none of you had any suggestions for finding more time in my day. I assume you are afflicted with the same frustration :)Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414201637917215413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-47908102081839144882010-01-29T16:28:41.363-06:002010-01-29T16:28:41.363-06:00Alice I Have Been is wonderful!

And well, you know how I feel about the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo! Kay does have a good point though.

There's so many though! All at once. So I understand how you are feeling--at least in the having them all become available at the same time. I would hate it if I had to deal with the deadlines too. All I really have to worry about is picking and choosing which I will get and which ones will have to wait.<br /><br />I've heard nothing but good things about Stephen King's On Writing. I hope you will like it.
