Dear Readers,
When I started teaching... I started reading. I read all the 6-8 grade literature and then more. I now LOVE reading and ALWAY have a book on my dresser. Reading lets my mind wonder into a new world without diapers and crying babies. But reading is more fun when you share. For this blog I will write about the GOOD books I read. I will write about books that are worthy of reading and ones I truly recommend. Enjoy your readings.

The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Interesting book. Couldn't believe it is a Young Adult read. It is not descriptive but does talk about rap, abuse, sex, and lesbians. Yet, the story line is truly about love and trust. It is a story of 2 sisters who lived total different lives. One sister became a wife at 14 who was put into an arranged and abusive marriage. The other sister lived in South Africa as a Christian Missionary. The whole book is written in letters that one sister writes to the other. They have a deep love for each other. The book spans over 30 years and in the end you will cry.
