I love reading new books, and finding books that I can share with my students.

I try and consume it all. I read tons, especially young adult fiction. I also love quirky, offbeat novels; cultural analysis; mythology; girly fiction; fantasy; screwball romantic comedies; books with extremely flawed characters, yet somehow you really empathize with them; nonlinear narratives and language play.

My interest lies in books that have been made into films.

DESIGNATED DAUGHTERS by Margaret Maron. Margaret Maron has written a mystery with heart where some of the miscreants get what they deserve and some get mercy. The Knott family saga continues with more life in the characters and more fun in the tales they tell and live out.

Will be books I have in my possession to read, in other words my TBR piles - both physical and Kindle, nothing else! I wanted something separate to GR to keep track of what I have to read and actually own. Hopefully once everything is listed this will shock me into the book buying ban I keep delaying.
