"To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark."

    I try to teach my students that they cannot "hate"a book.  It's definitely okay to like or luuuuv a book, but hating it isnt an option.  A book is meant to make you feel something,  The question they should be asking isn't whether or not you liked the book, but did it make you feel something.
    With that said, Nicholas Spark has always been an author that definitley made me feel something- most of the time it was anger!  I quit reading many of his novels after The Notebook years ago for fear of feeling a bit too much.  I noticed his newest book, Safe Habour, and decided it was a good choice for the Christmas break.  His storyline is typical for him, but still good.  I particularly like his character, Kevin, the drunk husband.  He is unstable and adds a great level of unease throughout the story, because of his unpredictability.  
    I would reccommend this book to any Sparks fans, but also those who like Harlequinns and Chick Lit.
    Happy New Year!!

   It doesn't get any more real than this! Like all my social media indicates I am an English teacher at Reagan High School.  I love my students as much as I do my own four children.  I enjoy YA Lit and Cadbury eggs.  I spend most of my daylight hours in overdrive, like most mothers.  Many ask me how I manage to accomplish so much, and although I have answered in various ways, the one solid truth in my life is Jesus Christ who makes all things possible. 
   Borrego ​is the name of my current project. Check out this novel and more on my website or on Amazon.com.
