Oh dear, it's 2017...oh well, let's keep going anyway

In Jan and Feb of 2017, all I did was school work (reread Krik? Krak! -- so good!) and pull together a musical. I may have done some pleasure reading, but truthfully, I don't remember.

So now it's Spring Break and I'm taking an IB class, doing grades and comments, writing a report, planning classes and perusing books for next year, and cleaning my house -- but I got some reading in too!

Here's a list of what I remember:

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (a timely and enjoyable reread)

Claire of the Sea Light and Create Dangerously by Edwidge Danticat (highly recommend)

Les Miserables (the libretto -- previewed for next year)

The Novel of the Century: The Extraordinary Adventure of Les Miserables by David Bellos (so interesting)

We Should All Be Feminists and Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions by Chimanda Ngozi Adichie (reading these with the teenage girl)

My Love, My Love, or The Peasant Girl by Rosa Guy (for IB Lit and Perf)

Only one more day of break to go but I have more on my list to save for June!
