2010 Spring Reading Thing List

I am so excited to be participating in the 2010 Spring Reading Thing.  Here is my list of books I will be reading.  Since I must read 5 books for school in the next few weeks, I figure I had better put them here as well.  I reserve the right to add books to this list.  Because we are at the end of the school year and I have all of the testing to do of my ESOL students, and I have made a commitment to write 50,000 words in 50 days and I am starting a week behind on it I am signing up for only 30 books.  Like I said, Spring Break starts next Friday and I plan on spending my time reading.  Since I will have my granddaughter with me for two of those days, we will be taking our regular trip to the library.  I don't know how many books we will get there for her but I will post those books as well.  Our average is 5 - 10 books.  She also has several new books on her shelf here at my house.  The books I read with my granddaughter will be posted as "Reading With Haylee, and I will set no goal.  The other 30 will be divided into "Books I Must Read for School and "Books I Want to Read for Me".  So, let's begin.
