The new Dan Brown book is here! I love how it arrived the day of its release. I'm going to have to put The Book Thief aside for now and start The Lost Symbol today. Stay tuned for the review!
"With a secret like that, at some point the secret itself becomes irrelevant. The fact that you kept it does not." ~Sara Gruen, Water for Elephants
"Little wonder that a mirror is known as a looking glass. We're all looking for something when we gaze into one." ~Marina Fiorato, The Glassblower of Murano
"That which we manifest is before us; we are the creators of our own destiny. Be it through intention or ignorance, our successes and our failures have been brought on by none other than ourselves." ~Garth Stein, The Art of Racing in the Rain
"Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it." ~Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper
"All grown-ups were children first. (But few remember it)." ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince
"If America taught me anything, it's that quitting is right up there with pissing in the Girl Scouts' lemonade jar." ~Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
"Children aren't coloring books. You don't get to fill them with your favorite colors." ~Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
"The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." - Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!
"At every moment of our lives, we all have one foot in a fairy tale and the other in the abyss." ~Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes
"Writing an informative yet compact thriller is a lot like making maple sugar candy. You have to tap hundreds of trees - boil vats and vats of raw sap - evaporate the water - and keep boiling until you've distilled a tiny nugget that encapsulates the essence." ~Dan Brown
"Libraries: The medicine chest of the soul." ~Library at Thebes, inscription over the door
"We laugh and laugh, and nothing can ever be sad, no one can be lost, or dead, or far away: right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, or steal the joy of this perfect moment." ~ Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife
I have been an elementary teacher for over 6 years and am currently working as a reading coach at the secondary level. I LOVE my job!
I recently decided it was time to shut off the TV and pick up more books! This blog is meant to capture the thoughts and emotions incited by the romances, adventures,and philosophies I will explore.
Aside from books and teaching, my charming husband, Jose, and my ever faithful companions, Gizmo and Eva, make up my loving constants.
