Reading is my go to activity. Books are a necessity in my view. I have a membership in the Book of the Month club and I cannot keep up with the books I receive, but I cannot make myself halt the membership dues, or put my selection on hold. What if I miss the my next great read? I have a bookshelf filled with these books. I prefer the feel of the book in my hand. The ability to use a bookmark of my choosing. I do listen to audio books but mostly if and when I exercise. So for the year 2017, I had a goal to read at least 17 books. I have surpassed my goal and have currently read 28 books and am working on number 29, which I will most likely finish before we ring in 2018.
Here are my top 5 favorites in no particular order, plus one extra worthy of reading for anyone in education.
1. The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman
2. Victoria by Daisy Goodwin
3. Troublemakers-Lessons in Freedom from Young Children at School by Carla Shalaby
4. Only Daughter by Anna Snoekstra
5. Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
Extra-
Embarrassment-The Emotional Underlife of Learning by Thomas Newkirk
Have you read any of these? What are your favorites from 2017?
