Hey guys! I hope your summer is going great and you are reading lots!
I just finished the memoir that I had started, Educated by Tara Westover. Wow! What a crazy life she lead. She never took formal schooling until she was in university and then she ended up winning prestigious academic awards and she even went so far as to obtain a doctorate. She worked very hard for her education and it has paid off. I think what I liked most about this book is how she put words together. I call it "wordsmithing." Only talented writers can "wordsmith" and she is talented. I really enjoyed her story, despite there being a bit of sad part about her family.
As I told you my love of reading came from reading Nancy Drew Mysteries, so did my fear of the dark. I was gifted a Nancy Drew for my 10th birthday and I did not look back. When I was in my late elementary years and early junior high years I really enjoyed many different authors. One of my favourite is Judy Blume. I love Tiger Eyes, Deenie, Are you there God it's me, Margret, those are just a few of my favourite of hers, you should really check out some of her work.
My next read will be...you will have to wait...I am going shopping tonight. I will be using a gift card that a student gave me as a gift. I will let you know as I get it. Check out my twitter feed @Teachawatt
