Wow! I had forgotten how much I like books!
Yesterday I was at the Illinois Reading Council conference in Springfield, and it was positively magical (and I'm not just talking about the sheer volume of free stuff my friend Kristi was able to attract!). I got to listen to one of my most favorite illustrators, David Weisner, and nabbed a handful of great books. Upon returning home (and officially starting my Spring Break! PTL!) I read Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney (a dumb book), Another Brick from the Wall by Unit 5's own Ron Schweinberg (an inspirational book), and Leprechaun in Late Winter which is a Magic Tree House book.
Today was Borders' "Educator Appreciation Week" kick-off, so I ended up going in and grabbing four new books for about $18. YEAH! I got Weisner's Tuesday, as well as Mercy Watson to the Rescue, Judy Moody, and Chicken Soup With Rice. Aaaaaahhhhh.... is this just a little bit nerdy? Or maybe a lot?
Yes, I really did just spend an entire post sighing about books. But you know what? I had to figure out how this posting works and what could be better to think about than books?
Okay, maybe pizza...
