My favorites are classical literature (late 1700s through the 1800s - british usually). Guilty pleasures are vampire novels... Starting to get into some different types of books, including audio books, through other readers' suggestions on Shelfari - looking forward to meeting other people who enjoy reading as much as I do!

    Hola Katie,

    Sorry about your Bucs. Honestly, I don't even know who they have at QB this year. I cannot really talk because I don't think my Raiders even deserve to be in the NFL any more.

    School year started off great! Absolutely love my classes. Last year was terrific and each new year I really try to raise the bar.

    As for your son and Kindergarten - I am glad to hear it started off well. I graduated K early because of all the tears I shed each time my mom tried to leave the room. :)

    Hey Kathleen,

    How goes it?

    Just started school this week and the body is exhausted but the mind is racing – overall it feels terrific to be back in the classroom.

    This summer my latest book was released – “Roam Italy: A Teacher and His Students Take the Ultimate Class Trip.” The book’s website is www.theclassroombook.com if you wanted to check things out.

    Possible tornado warnings in NJ this weekend so I best head for cover…

    Kathleen,
    I am so sorry for all that you're going through. I pray that you and your son get through these hard times. I can't express in words now what I want to say about your husband. All that I can say tastefully is that God don't like ugly and he will regret his actions. Please stay strong and remember you have your Shelfari friends support always. God bless.

    Katie--no need to apologize. I'm so so sorry to hear about you going through a nightmare of a divorce. I know that is such a strain and causes great heartache. How long had/have you been married? So your child is 5? Boy or girl? How are they taking all of this? Going off to kindergarten is a scary thing especially for moms--it means your little precious baby is beginning to grow up---but just know---it is another phase in life--a wonderful phase that you will adjust to shortly.

    Next week--wow!!! My son starts school next Thursday---I have to go in to set up my classroom next week, the following have meetings all week, and then get kiddos---like everybody I don't want summer to end--not ready to go back to school LOL

    given that you live along the coast (atlantic or gulf) do you enjoy going down to the beach?

    Hope you have had a pleasant afternoon adn evening. Thanks for putting me in touch w/ your friend.

    Rocky

    Heya Kathleen. Haven't heard from you in a couple of weeks. Have you had a chance to ask your friend about that Amish series you were telling me about?

    How have things been going for you?

    Hi Kathleen,

    Sorry, I just saw this. Yes, I am in Palm Coast. You?
    I see you love reading. I do as well. We actually just started our own little book club through work as well. I am getting recommendations that way as well.

    Morning Kathleen,

    How goes it?

    I will be heading back to the Dominican Republic for a month this summer for more work with "Friends Beyond Borders." It is such a dynamic experience and I enjoy getting my hands dirty while over there as opposed to someone bringing drinks to me at a resort beach.

    Should I mark you down as a "maybe" for next summer? :)

    Here's our main site if you would like more details: www.friendsbeyondborders.net

    As they say a smart brain on a pretty woman who loves books--what more can you say :D

    You are correct about my tie----I want to move to York area someday. My grandmother grew up in East Greenville. That's where she went to church. In fact, one out of every four sundays of the month the sermon would be in German (reflecting the strong PA Dutch influence upon the church). Thanks for checking with your friend for me.

    Hey Kathleen,

    I just finished reading Orwell's 1984. If you have not read it yet, I highly recommend it for you. Take care and happy reading.

    I am extremely interested in the Amish. For whatever reason, I have always been fascinated by them. I enjoy whenever I go to Lancaster, PA. However, when I got into researching my family gneealogy I began discovering more and more. My grandmother is PA Dutch. Even though she isn't Amish (she descends from a group called the Schwenckfelders), the Amish are also PA Dutch so my fascination grew. One of the series of books I have read takes place in Lancaster and it always amazes me when the author mentions places and roads that I have been to or know where they are.

    Glad you are enjoying TATE. As I recall I think most of the historical frame work of the book is fairly accurate. The Catholic Church maintained a lot of documentation about it's contracted work, and both he and DaVinci kept a lot of notes and journals.

    Go for it! Forster is a very talented writer and I think you'll enjoy it. Let me know if you like it.
