I am a professor of education (reading and literacy) at Birmingham Southern College. I DEVOUR books - particularly those for children and young adults. I love reading them and then sharing them with teachers and students. My interests (right this minute) are the effect of classroom libraries (and how to develop those) on reading attitudes and abilities, the effect of lit. on girls and their self/body image, and girls and comics. I love to cook and listen to music (see my myspace) and watch movies and pretend that Firefly is only on hiatus. « less
