may was a weird month in general. this first two weeks were chaos - busy busy busy as the seniors got ready to graduate. the following two weeks were, frankly, boring on the work front. my seniors had graduated and i had a lot of time to work on little projects but not a lot of actual work to do. and now it is SUMMER. i spent most of yesterday reading and watching dexter and eating. I LOVE SUMMER.
i read three books this month and i continue to be ahead of schedule to read 25 books this year. hooray! this month i read...
the city of ember, by jeanne duprau (this is a young adult book that becky encouraged me to read; it's a bit more childish than the hunger games, but had a cool premise and i did enjoy reading it. after the hunger games i'm pretty spoiled, though. i'll say it again: i. love. that. series.)
the curious incident of the dog in the night-time, by mark haddon (i've read this before, but re-read it this month. it's a murder mystery narrated by a kid with asperger's syndrome and it is sweet and funny and really compelling. a quick read and SO good.)
a clash of kings, by george r.r. martin (the second book in the series, and a doozie - 968 pages. eek. after finally finishing this one i need a nice short book for the sense of accomplishment that finishing a book gives you. this is a re-read, too, but i read it so long ago that i remembered very little of what actually happened...so it was sort of like reading it for the first time. there are a million characters and a lot of sub-plots, so i'm not surprised that i'd forgotten what happened.)
