Happy Earth Day!

April 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Currently reading, Quote of the Day

“…do not grasp at the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.”


— Robert Louis Stevenson

A teacher friend of mine gave me a book list — it’s titled “The Best Books for Reluctant Readers,” but I think it should just be called “The Best Books.” The list is geared for middle- and high school students. Here is the first installment, and I’ll list more in future blog posts.

Happy Earth Day to you on this beautiful Wednesday morning. And happy reading!

Best,

Ms. Nancy
