I just finished reading Dirty Little Secrets by Omololu. It was a great book and perfect for young adults. It is about a 16 year old girl that doesn't let anyone come over to her house because her mother is a hoarder. One day she discovers her mother is dead after finding her buried under a pile of National Geographic magazines. The ending surprised me a little. If you have time this book is worth reading.
I am also reading Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. It is an easy to read self help book. I am hoping to follow his advice and become debt free to the point that I can purchase everything with cash including future cars!

The Ongoing Challenge
I am working towards my goal of 111 in 2011. I am currently reading Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. I must say that if Tom were one of my students I would going out of my mind. That boy is so mischievous! I am also reading The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate. I must say that I am having trouble staying interested. I started the book in November and have read about half of it. I feel that I must finish because it has received so many great reviews. However, I just can't seem to get interested, but I don't like the idea of abandoning it since is so highly recommended.
I am using Goodreads to track my reading and to follow other readers. I love to find books "to read" later.
I hear so many people say they can't imagine reading anything besides an actual book. I must say I wasn't too interested in reading a book on an ereader or computer but that is changing. I now read books on my iPad frequently and it has actually been an easy adjustment. However, I do still enjoy the feel and smell of a good book.
Time to get back to reading...

Book Challenge 2011
I am planning to read books that I feel I've missed out on during my public education. I got the idea from Much Madness is Divinest Sense. My goal is to read them all before the end of the year. For now I want to read To Kill A Mockingbird, The Scarlet Letter, and many others. As I read each book I will blog my response to the book.
