I just knocked off another one off the list!

9) Read at least one Drama/Poetry book. I read Everyone's Happier Than You by James Zerndt. A great selection of poems!

Eeeeek! I'm SO pleased to see that I've already been able to cross off six of the categories! I recently started a genre goal for my students, so it's only fitting that I follow suit and complete my own! My goal is to read at least fifty more books by Christmas! :)

I'm trying to do better about logging the books I read. I know for sure I've already blown last year's reading track record out of the water.
