Now that I\u2019m not teaching every day, my life doesn\u2019t revolve around school vacation weeks quite as much as it once did. As a consultant, I work in four different districts. Three of them are on vacation this week and one is off next week. That means I\u2019m only working a little this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, my writing schedule stays the same and I don\u2019t seem to find whole days for a reading vacation the way I once did. I loved those days when I could fall into the world of a book and only emerge for food. I loved making a pile of the books I\u2019d read and figuring out an order for them for my week of vacation.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, even though I\u2019m not on \u201cvacation\u201d this week, I\u2019ve decided I need a reading vacation\u2014at least an afternoon for it\u2014and I\u2019ve decided that this afternoon is it. I have a perfect book: Robin Wasserman\u2019s upcoming The Book of Blood and Shadow \"\"<\/em>
which I was lucky enough to get as an advance reader\u2019s copy (thanks, Trish!). It\u2019s a mystery with murder and history and Latin and amazing characters and writing. It\u2019s been all I can do not to sit and devour the whole thing in one big 400+ page gulp. But this afternoon, I\u2019m going to allow myself to do just that. I can\u2019t wait.<\/span><\/p>\n

My copy says the actual book will be released April 10. I have mine ordered already. Order yours! Don\u2019t miss this one!<\/span><\/p>\n

And take a reading vacation someday soon! Tell me what you read on your \u201cvacation\u201d!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
