I love, love, love to read. Sadly, I don't read as much as I would like to because by the time I crawl into bed at night I can barely keep my eyes open these days. When I do have a spare moment, I'm usually reading blogs looking for ideas to use in my classroom instead of pleasure reading. I love reading fiction, especially medical mysteries and spy & espionage books. I wish I enjoyed reading non fiction more. I always have good intentions of reading through a non fiction book, but more often than not, I never make it completely through the book. I'll read particular chapters and skim other areas, but struggle to read it in its entirety.
A book I've recently read - "Coming Home" by Mariah Stewart. This is one of my favorite authors who has written some really great suspense/mystery novels, but this particular book is a completely different genre. It's more of a romantic fiction along the lines of Nicholas Sparks, which I occasionally read, but completely different from the other books I've read by her. I was intrigued to see that she was writing books like this and had to see for myself if it was something I liked. I found that I did like it and ended up reading the first three books in this series she wrote. The rest of the series is on my list for next summer when I have more time to read.
A book I'm currently reading - "Resistant" by Michael Palmer. He's my absolute favorite medical mystery author. Highly recommend any of his books if you like medical mysteries.
A book I'd like to read - Just got back from watching the STAR WARS movie and one of the movie previews was for a movie called "The 5th Wave." The story line sounded intriguing and when I saw that it was based upon a book, I decided that the book would probably be much better than the movie. It's sitting in my Amazon shopping cart right now.
Love learning about new authors! I'll add yours to my list to explore!
