Friend Makin' Monday

Friend Makin' Mondays: Are You A Bookworm?
1) How often do you read?  I used to hate reading, up until the last year or so. I have really started to enjoy reading again. Now, I'm reading almost every single day.

2) What's the last book you read and loved? I love the book I just finished reading; it is called Leota's Garden by Francine Rivers (Christian Fiction book). However, I will say that I read a book about a month ago that was one I just couldn't put down. I don't normally read books with heavy language, but this one was just so intriguing I couldn't put it down. It was called Saving Max by Antoinette van Heugten. It's about a boy with extreme autism (which was what drew me to the book as an educator), and his mother is on a journey to prove his innocence in a murder case. What happens will blow you away! I highly recommend if you can stand the language in the first few chapters (it's not so bad after that).

3) What book(s) are you currently reading?  As I mentioned above, I just finished Leota's Garden yesterday, and tonight when I go to bed I plan on starting Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire by Rafe Esquith. A dear teacher friend of mine gave me this book as a gift, and I can't wait to start it. 

4) Share a few of your favorite authors.  Wow, this is a tough question and if I took FOREVER to type it out, it would get rather lengthy. So, I'll just name a few: Francine Rivers, Emily Griffin, Nicholas Sparks, MOST children book authors
5) What's next on your list of must-reads? I plan to start my book mentioned above tonight. My other books I hope to read are as follows: Heaven is for Real, Water for Elephants, and Something Borrowed

    The book about the autistic boy sounds great! I too am a teacher and will have to check it out.
