Feel Good Friday: National Reading Month

So, March is National Reading Month, what does that mean? It means: READ A BOOK this month. If you don't read any other month you simply must read in March, and hurry there are only 11 more days! Even if you just take the time to read to a child in your life, read. It is a gift to be literate, and you should not take it for granted.

I teach reading at a community college and on one of the beginning of the semester survey's a student wrote, "I hate reading, I don't like reading, I hate reading", but even he is reading during National Reading Month thanks to his persistent overbearing professor.

I am currently reading two books: The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver with my class, and Queen Sugar by Natalie Baszile. I had already read The Bean Trees, but rereading it with my students has been fantastic.

 Now, on to Queen Sugar. I really like this book. I am currently on chapter 17, and didn't want to put it down to write this! Please join the book club if you haven't yet. I couldn't wait to the end of the month to talk about it, so I have added a post to the forum: http://hella-natural-forums.62808.x6.nabble.com/Queen-Sugar-f13.html. Chime in!

That's all for now, I gotta go read!

XOXO,

I truly believe books to be transformative. What books have you read that have shaped you or changed your perspective?
