I'm published: my blog post Melancholy and Springtime was picked up and published on the website: Teaching with Heart, Fire, and Poetry.
Check it out here. The original post is
here.
Books read this week:
- The Sound of Gravel by Ruth Wariner... a memoir of a girl who girl up in a polygomist community, as a sect of the Mormon church. Fascinating and horrifying.
- Teaching With Fire: Poetry that Sustains the Courage to Teach edited by Intrator and Scribner. A reread for me. I enjoyed it just as much the second time through.
- Heath Ledger: Hollywood's Dark Star by Brain Robb. It is hard to believe this talented star has been dead for nearly eight years.
Currently reading:
- Running the Rift by Naomi Benaron...my book club selection of the month.
- The Porcupine of Truth by Bill Konigsberg...a sure am taking my sweet time with this book. Sigh.
Back to Pie and Prejudice! See you next week.
SUCH a fun event! My daughter and granddaughter will be living in town this time next year - I am going to suggest this as a girls' night activity for March 14, 2017!
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on being published - that is awesome :)
This looks like so much fun!! It would make a great book club night too! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being published!!
Wonderful idea for a pie/Pi celebration! I am hoping to keep my power today. I am very over the windstorms!
ReplyDeleteOur neighbors across Shaw Road lost power, but we didn't even have a flicker.
DeleteHow fun is this??? I've never seen the movie and I haven't read the book so I will put it on my calendar for 2017 and hope all schedules work out.
ReplyDeleteYes, it does work out best if 3-14 falls on a weekend.
DeleteOh I love it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun game! Now I want to play!! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, it was fun but I warn to take super small bites and sips because you will be eating for five hours straight.
DeleteHow did the game go? :)
ReplyDeleteIt was lots of fun but a bit sickening at the same time. Have you ever ate pie and drank champagne for five hours straight even if the bites were small and the sips were tiny? Ugh.
