Because I started tutoring online this summer, my reading time has decreased significantly. However, I am still finding time to sit down and go through these books.
In addition, some of my students have books to read, and I am now reading to help them write reviews and prepare for essays.
For instance, “The Poet X” by Elizabeth Acevedo is one that I am thoroughly enjoying, and it was recommended to me by a student. I will write a review of it once I finish.
So, with some of these I am re-reading, others are new.
