There’s something about the holidays and being able to read what ever you want! I’m in between book club dates, have time off, and can fill my days and nights with a good penny dreadful or a more substantial educational read. Oh! The joy of having choices!
I was at a party the other night and ran into one of my recent graduates. She told me I’d started her on Terry Pratchett and she loved them. Her current favorite was “Good Omens” by both Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. As luck would have it, I had a copy at home in the stack by my bed. It’s been fun reading this book and thinking of my student’s reaction to it. I can hardly wait to see her again so we can discuss all the funny bits and my take on the plot! She was so excited about it I couldn’t help but want to read it too!
It really adds to the experience when you can look forward to the discussions to come. This is one of the reasons I belong to the book club at my local public library. I always find the groups’ reactions and thoughts about our books gives me a whole new perspective on what I’ve just read. It’s also one of the best things about being a teacher/librarian. I love talking about books!
If you’ve read something you’d like to share or discuss please let me know! Then we can take the time to discover each other’s perspective on a favorite read.
