TTT: Book Titles That Describe Me/My Life



Top Ten Tuesday: Book Titles That Describe Me/My Life

A Long Obedience in the Same Direction by Eugene Peterson
I was born into a Christian family and raised as a Jesus-follower and church-goer. This is central to my life.

Just Kids by Patti Smith
My mother is still living. She is 97-years-old. I have three siblings. All four of us are in our 60s or 70s. Mom still refers to us as her kids.


The Family Tree by Carole Cadwalladr
We just got back from Hawai'i where I learned a new word: OHANA. A term which encapsulates the love I have for my immediate family and those people I welcome into my found family.

Teaching with Fire by Sam M. Intrator
I was a secondary teacher for twenty-five years. I always worked on the craft of teaching and tried to be the best teacher I could be.

Library Girl by Karen Henry Clark
After being in the classroom for so many years I became a high school librarian, opening a new school and serving as a book and tech lady for twelve years before retiring.

The Collectors: Stories edited by A.S. King
As a kid I collected stamps and dolls. I still display my most precious dolls in a case in the living room. Later, as an adult, I collected Muffy Vanderbear® costumes. I still dress up my little stuffed bear in her finery on certain holidays. Oddly, I am not a book collector.

The Friendly Austen by Natalie Tyler
I love everything about and by Jane Austen: her novels, movies made from her novels, retellings of her novels, and information about Jane and life during the 19th Century.

The Beatles in America by Spencer Leigh
I have loved the Beatles practically my whole life. I still listen to them whenever I get a chance and never seem to get tired of the Fab Four.

44 Poems On Being With Each Other: A Poetry Unbound Collection by Pádraig Ó Tuama
I am a poetry reader. I especially like to read poetry which is annotated by someone who understands it better than myself. This is one such collection.

How to Read a Book by Monica Wood
Shocking no one: I am a reader. And I'm always on the hunt for the next best book.



-Anne
