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.

Left to Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza

Left to tell was a fast read. Immaculee is one amazing person.  Her story is one of courage, endurance, love, faith, and mostly forgiveness.  Immaclee was "left to tell" her story about the Rwanda genocide that happened in 1994.  She lost all she had, hid in a bathroom for 3 months, and through it all gained a testimony of faith and love.  She is my new hero. 

This book was hard to read at times, due to the true facts of any genocide.  My eyes were open to "true evil".  I heat ached for the Tusi people.  I was thankful for the plan of salvation.  I was thankful for my faith.  And Immaculee helped that faith to grow. 

I would recommend this book to anyone.  One of my new favorite books.
