Wonderful News...

My apologies for what I hope is the last time, because I have been so absent. As of last night, I became a first time home owner. Thankfully, I move in to my new home this weekend, and if you couldn't tell, I'm over the moon about it!

Also, I didn't share this here, but as I've blathered on and on about teaching AP Literature this last year, and the stress I felt over helping them pass the exam, so I thought I'd share the good news. 76% of my students passed (which yes, is pretty good). My relief is beyond words, and I'm just so happy for them.

I am excited to say I will be back to my normal reading self after this weekend, and I can't wait! I'll be reviewing Sharon Lathan's wonderful second book, Loving Mr. Darcy: Journeys Beyond Pemberley this weekend, which comes out on September 1st, AND which will be a great introduction back to my happy reading self. Until next time...Mahalo!
