“I can’t make this stuff up” – Kevin hart’s biography – good story – funny at spots – I made a couple of copies of pages for us to read and talk through if time allows in class – not many pages were middle school appropriate:)

“crimson heart” – Mal moore’s biography – great book – found the part about when I was at Alabama the most interesting – but the whole book was really good – and what Mal did for his wife was great

“Telling Stories” – book on creative writing – I got some activities from it I hope to use in the classroom

“The Gaithers and Southern Gospel” – great book to talk about with my dad – he’s a southern gospel fan – so it was fun to discuss the book with him
