Went to Borders yesterday and got three books:

• Violet and Claire � Francesca Lia Block

(because I love the way she writes)
• Speak � Laurie Halse Anderson

(because I've heard it was good and also good for young adults, so it may be useful when I start teaching)

and�

• Your First Year As a High School Teacher: Making the Transition from Total Novice to Successful Professional � Lynne Rominger, Suzanne Packard Laughrea, Natalie Elkin

(because I need all the help I can get next year!)

So I'm obsessed with buying books. As Alf would say, Sue me! I still have to finish

• Jane Eyre � Charlotte Bront�
• Goodbye, Mr. Chips � James Hilton
• The Time Machine � H. G. Wells

Keeps me busy�
