​Keep coming back each month to find something new to read.  It won't always be a novel.  Look for plays, poems, short stories and more! 

Something new this year, I am going to give you a running list of what I am reading.  I will start with June 2025 and run through May 2026.  If you want to talk about any of the books I read over the course of the year, find me and I will be willing to chat about books.  New additions will occur at the end of the month (so June's readings appear at the beginning of July).

Also, if you are interested in reading any of these books, they can usually be found in any of the following libraries: Graham's Classroom, North Salem High School's Library, Salem Public Library (they can borrow things from other libraries if they don't have it on their shelves).  If you prefer owning any of the books, they can be found in local bookshops or online--you just might have to shop around.

November

I have continued reading books listed in 1,001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die.  

Also, we had another donation of books for our Little Free Library, which means I spent some time reading several of the children's books that came in.

For the rest, you will continue to see the eclectic genres that I gravitate toward.  I do read a little bit of everything, and this month's readings help to prove that.

Hopefully, you can find something in here that will interest you.

October

So, I have a book called 1,001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die, and I decided to bash through some of those titles this month.  That means you will see many graphic novels this month.  Advanced warning, not all of these graphic novels are appropriate for all ages.  Some of them are...well...graphic.

As for the rest of my reading this month, it was just an eclectic mix of books I have at home and in my classroom library.  

​If you want to talk about any of these books, just stop by.

September

Back in school and I didn't get to read as much as I wanted to, but that's okay.  Instead, I had the chance to meet a bunch of new, amazing students.

Also, over the month I started catching up on my magazine subscriptions.  That means I was reading copies of Doctor Who Magazine, Scotland, Discover Britain, and Britain magazines that have been piling up.  Thought I was doing a great job of shrinking that pile until three more came in the mail this week.

Take a look at what I read this month and see if there is anything you know, or want to know.  I would love to talk "book" with you.

August

I read a lot of books this month, but if you notice many of them are picture books.  

Someone dropped off a box of books for our Little Free Library, so I had fun reading many of the books before we placed them in our library (and distributed a bunch to Little Free Libraries located in the North Salem HS community).  Maybe you will see a book you read when you were little.  Or, maybe, you may see a book that a younger sibling would like to have read to them--to the library!

July

One of the nice things about summer, I have time to sit down and so some serious reading.  The interruptions are limited to family and cats. 

This month's books ranged from things I wanted to read before adding them to my classroom library, to things I have been meaning to read for a while.  

As always, if something here looks interesting, feel free to talk to me about it.

June

Here's my reading list from June 2025.  If you can't tell, it is quite eclectic.  Many of these books are from my classroom library.  I'm still trying to work my way through everything on my shelves.

Book titles show up in alphabetical order not in the order in which I read them.
