Wish I was in NYC but my armchair works

Okay, I wish I was in New York this week for BEA11. I've never gone - well I didn't even know about it last year. I only started this blog in January. Last summer I was reading like crazy but hadn't learned about the blogging craz.

I will probably never get to go to BEA because I teach middle school and it falls in the last two weeks of school. That's not a great time to be gone for a whole week. And while we are on the subject of my job - I teach 8th grade math. I know you are groaning but I love math. I have a reading group at lunch and I share my love of reading every day. My students know about my book obsession. I have a mini library in my classroom that I share with them. They share with me. I am always picking up their books and asking questions.

Which brings me to what kind of books I read and review for this blog. I pretty much only read YA. I hang out with fourteen year olds on a daily basis. That's just how I roll. I prefer the paranormal YA books but I venture out to contemporary. Once in a long while I may read an adult book, but don't count on it.

Anyway, if you are still reading this, I will show you the actual armchair - mini couch where I read. It's actually a snuggle chair meant for two. I bought it because I have three dachshunds and they think they need to help me when I read. So we have room in my snuggle chair.

Looking forward to a fun week of BEA from my chair. Enjoy the read.
