The Reading Corner

Bob and I love books.  With Bob being an English teacher and me teaching elementary students, we have bought a lot of books in our life!

We are in a book club together, BBL (Babes, Broads and Lushes) that meets monthly.  We rotate who is to bring dessert and wine.  We meet at the same couple's home each month.  Four women (including me) met at the JC Country Club and over four bottles of wine, came up with the name BBL.  We have been meeting since 1995.

I started a book club at my school in 1996.  We meet at a local restaurant and discuss books and movies and kids and teaching.  We have a new blog at http://www.westschoolbookclub.blogspot.com/
