Since the start of August (and the unofficial end of summer break), my schedule has been filled with meetings, planning, and class prep. Consequently, it has been hard to find (or to justify) time to just read for fun. Luckily, LibraryThing, which is one of my favorite websites and teacher resources, is holding its ReadaThing Labor Day (US) Weekend. From August 28 - September 2 (the dates/times depend upon your location), you can sign up to participate for an hour or two or more. Participation means that you read at a particular time. However, if you know that you will be reading but you aren't able to commit to a specific time, you can still sign up outside of the timeline.
While I don't know where I'll be in terms of my reading by the time August 28 rolls around, I'm hoping to follow Daniels and Zemelman's idea for a "balanced diet of reading" from Subjects Matter and read a mix of professional texts and trade books.
Will you be participating in ReadaThing in an official (or unofficial) way? If so, is there anything you hope to read? Let me know in the comments!
