Books
Some books I read this year and liked. Not an exhaustive list. May contain books published before 2011.
Blood Bones and Butter - Gabrielle Hamilton
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks - Rebecca Skloot
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke
Bossypants - Tina Fey
At Home - Bill Bryson
Say Her Name - Francisco Goldman
Bonk - Mary Roach
I Capture The Castle - Dodie Smith
Winter's Tale - Mark Helprin (second reading)
The Hunger Games Trilogy - Suzanne Collins
some free kindle books that would have been worth paying for:
My Antonia - Willa Cather
Letters of a Woman Homesteader - Elinore Pruitt Stewart
(If I ever teach again I am for sure going to teach these two ladies together)
All Of The Jane Austen (in the middle of Mansfield Park now but feel confident in recommending it. Also, my 'quite unintentionally embark on a project of reading all the major Jane Austen novels' began in 2010).
This year is a better year than last year for a few reasons, but one of the big ones is that I got to read more books.
