Yup, but teaching them the power of words can be fun, too

Although I'm not a romance book reader, I do agree with Cattleman on a Nicholas Sparks' novel, or a Nora Roberts' one.

I'm currently teaching grade 8 students in English

Oh, I read the blurbs and stuff before reading. I love to read, but sometimes I get a bit picky, especially when I'm in one of my moods and I'm looking for a specific genre of story to sustain me.

a lot actually :p hehe, like: watching cartoons and anime (YJ, Phineas and Ferb, Naruto, etc), listening to the 1st Pokemon OST, reading fanfic of my fave shows, and so much more...

"I don't know how to love him" from Jesus Christ Superstar

Oh, I love re-reading books I read when I was younger.

Jerry Spinelli books
Goosebumps
To Kill a Mockingbird
A Wrinkle in Time
Harry Potter books
Hearts in Atlantis
Nancy Drew
Hardy Boys
The Count of Monte Cristo
Les Miserables

...were the truly unforgettable ones

Thanks, guys! I had started teaching and became really busy... and I just miss sharing about stories/books
