Linky Party with Donalyn Miller and Thinking of Teaching






Beth @  Thinking of Teaching asked Donalyn Miller author of The Book Whisperer the following questions (you can find her answers here); Now its our turn to answer the questions!

1) What is your favorite book (or series) from childhood?
     That is like asking a mother who her favorite child is, but just today I found my copy of a Curious George book and it brought back the memories of reading them as a child. Love them to this day!

2) What is your favorite book (or series) now?

Have to say have the Two sisters and Debbie Diller books to read, but my destressing books are Lori Foster's  Edge of Honor Series ...take a look at this (now wouldn't you too?)


3) What is your opinion of e-readers?
 I have the kindle app on every piece of technology I have, it’s so easy (maybe a little too easy) to download a book. I have read more since December than I have in years past. I also like the fact that I don't have to squeeze one more book onto my already bulging bookshelves (I am a rereader) Now for the kids, I loved that on our ipads at school during Dr. Seuss week we could read the books during lab, instead of me having to track down who has the book where! The kids love technology and they forget they are reading as they are so engaged! 

4) Finish this sentence: "On Sundays I like to..."
SLEEP (oh wait that is everyday)

5) Describe yourself in 5 words!
Techy, reader, friend, disorganized, overwhelmed

6) Hardcover or paperback? Why?
 Well...hardcover as it means it is fresh on the market...LOL...but really don't buy physical books anymore, just add them to my kindle app!

7) Coffee or Tea? Iced Coffee :)


Now it's your turn head over here and join in! If you have questions about the read along here is the info! Thanks for stopping by, please take a look around, comment, and follow me! I love meeting fellow teachers!
