It was pointed out to me on our Shelfari page that the LA Times Festival of Books is speedily drawing near.  Many students are already excited about going.  Have a look around the website and see which authors are going to be there on which days, and we can talk about arranging rides when I get back after Spring Break.

Also, we have a book shop over in the left sidebar under “Web Resources” that can give you some ideas for great reads!  Have a look–anything you buy there will help our class receive credits with Amazon.com!

So, tell me:

• What books have you been excited about lately?
• How are your group books going?
• Have you found any powerful themes or lessons about life in the stories you’ve been reading?
• What about electronic reading devices like the Kindle?  Do you use them or do you prefer holding the actual book in your hand?
