so it’s really, really dark now when you get up to run 17 miles at 4:30 on sunday mornings – just sayin’…

“newton’s football” – wonderful read for me and, more importantly, for the middle school kids I teach – basically, science questions about America’s favorite game – and very accessible for a middle school audience that might not know the reasons why things are they way that they are on the field – so great for gifted boys with math/science interests

“Bomb” – high school BOB – really should be middle school BOB – basically, a story of the atomic bomb – I’ve found adults that really like this book – which I don’t understand b/c there are better adult books on the subject – but none better for a middle school audience – with high school, eh, I just think they could’ve tackled something more on their level – or just with lots of cursing – that seems to be more high school BOB:)

“hate list” – wow, what a concept for a book – girlfriend of a school shooter having to return and piece her life back together – we all have those “face up” moments where we return to something we’d rather not – and the book is an excellent thought process of how you’d do that – so an “enjoyable” read
