Education
Location: Broome County, NY : United States
I am currently a student at SUNY Cortland. I am a pre-service teacher. I will graduate with my BA in English/Adolescent Education in a year and a half. I have been a book worm all of my life. Ask my mom. She would find me reading at 2:00 a.m. on a school night. I love the variety of worlds, cultures, and people you experience and meet in books. Books are my favorite gift to give and receive.
I also host a young adult literature book group, Books Like Us, once a month. So one week a month will be devoted to the novel I am reading for this book group. No sense in over taxing myself or setting impossible goals right??? OK...I am now going to shamelessly put in a plug for the book group. In case you are interested, we meet once a month in Vestal, NY at Barnes and Noble. Here is the website which includes meeting info and upcoming book selections. Feel free to join us if you live in the area. Plug finished.
