I’m in upstate NY. I am finishing up the last 100 pages of Hang the Moon by Jeannette Walls, which is very good. Then I’ll head to a YA book called Spell Bound. Looking forward to mac and cheese for lunch. I’m a HS English Teacher, on a national committee for Best YA Fiction and my hubby and I have 4 cats. My goals is to read what I can–but I never make the 24 hours lol

Read! But also, take it easy. Relax. I already know I won’t be striving for the 24 hours so I’m just going to enjoy myself. Which is why it took so long for me to update on Goodreads!
