“the way of the runner” – perfect book for the trip to Boston – good author – I’d read him before – his story of learning the secrets of Japanese running – it was a really interesting book b/c I haven’t read much about the Japanese culture of running – it’s pretty big over there – and different – so very recommendable

“kill the boy band” – good HS BOB recommendation – not coming to a middle school near you anytime soon:) but i really enjoyed the book – there were questions and twists that would be great to talk with someone about – but, again, that won’t be middle school kids:) I did get the idea that we should do fanfic next year for our books – either Shakespeare fan fic – Irving fan fic – Poe fan fic – CMS fan fic – Shelby fan fic – Trump fan fic (you know, the world where he becomes president – or Hillary if you need it to work for you) – there are lots of possibilities
